YSI 9600 - Manual (Page 51)

There are three basic steps through which you will have to proceed to use your 9600 with the YSI 6200
Data Collection Platform:
• Start a deployment study as described above in Section 5.5.1.
• Connect the MS-8 end of a 96XX cable to the mating MS-8 connector on the DCP enclosure.
• Attach a serial cable between the proper connector on the 6200 and a serial port on your PC. Run
EcoWatch DCP software and follow the abbreviated instructions outlined below that are specific for
the interface between the 9600 and 6200.
Specific EcoWatch DCP/6200/9600 Set-up Instructions:
• Click on the 6200 selection in the top menu bar. Then select “Supervisor Mode” from the list.
• Enter “YSI6200” as the Supervisor Password. Note that the letters “YSI” MUST be capitals.
• Return to the main EcoWatch DCP screen and again click on the 6200 selection in the top menu bar.
Now select “New” from the list and enter a file name.
• Select a file name and click “OK.” The 6200 will scan SDI-12 addresses from 0 – 9. The 6200 will
acknowledge all SDI-12 sensors that have been properly connected, as pictured in the dialog box
below.
NOTE: If the 9600 is not detected in this operation, make certain that the cables between the 6200,
the 9600 and your PC are connected correctly. Also make sure that the 6200 is powered properly,
either from an internal battery pack or from AC power. Retry the interface, and if the 9600 is still
not located, contact Endeco/YSI for help. See above for contact information
• After the 6200 has successfully scanned all of the SDI-12 address lines, the following display will
appear:
