2.9.4 STATUS
Select
4-Status
from the Sonde Main menu to obtain general information about the sonde and its setup.
•
Select
1-Version
to identify the specific version of sonde software loaded in the sonde. This number is
especially useful if you are calling YSI Customer Service. It may also be useful to you if you are
comparing 2 or more sondes purchased at different times.
•
Select
2-Date and 3-Time
to display current date and time in 24-hour format. This is not a “live”
display, but may be updated by pressing the 2 or 3 key again. This may be useful for viewing or
setting real time. You may correct date or time from this submenu, by entering the corrected date or
time as described in System setup. However, you cannot alter date format from this screen.
•
In options
4, 5, and 6
, you can view battery voltage, battery life, and available free memory in your
sonde to help you evaluate whether the current setup is appropriate to complete an active logging or to
begin a study in which you have defined your logging parameters. If you press key 4, 5 or 6 before
you exit this screen, it may change, since this triggers the Status screen to update information.
•
7-Logging
provides one of two messages, active or inactive, indicating whether your sonde is in the
unattended logging mode. This logging status indicator is not relevant to logging in the discrete mode,
since there is no way to enter the Status screen without stopping discrete logging.
Press
0
or
Esc
to exit the Status screen and return to Main menu.
