Introduction
1.1 Description
The 6200 Data Acquisition System (6200 DAS) with EcoWatch DCP
ä
is an integrated hardware
and software package specifically designed to be a powerful, yet easy to configure, multiparameter
water quality and meteorological data collection platform with a graphical user interface.
Information can be collected real-time or periodically from solid state memory. Combined with
YSI 6-series sondes and/or a variety of meteorological sensors, this system is intended for use in
research, assessment and regulatory compliance applications.

Figure 1.1 6200 DAS, Example Configuration
The system can be configured many ways, using a variety of sensors, communication modes and
power options. The sensors provide signals for both water quality and meteorological
measurement parameters. The meteorological sensors include wind speed and direction, relative
humidity, barometric pressure, rainfall rate and accumulation, air temperature and solar radiation.
