The default is 9600, but you may change it to match your host communication interface protocol by typing
in the corresponding number, 1 through 7. An asterisk confirms the selection. Auto baud may be selected
along with any of the choices. The Auto baud option allows the sonde to recognize and adjust to the
received characters and we recommend that it is activated.

NOTE:

If you change the baud rate, exit the sonde interaction and immediately change the baud rate in

EcoWatch for Windows, Comm Settings. If you do not adjust the baud rate in the PC software, the sonde
will not be able to communicate with the computer or any display/logger and your system will appear to be
"locked-up."

Select

3-Page length

from the System Setup menu and press

Enter

. This will allow you to control how

many lines of data are sent to your display before a new header is shown. The smaller the page number, the
fewer the lines of data will be transmitted to your display between headers.

However, if you set the page

length to zero (0), only the initial header will be displayed. In many cases, a page length of zero is the
preferred configuration if you choose to upload your data in an ASCII or CDF format. See

Section 2.9.3,

File Menu,

for more details.

NOTE:

The header itself takes 4 lines. Therefore, if the page length is set to 25, there will be 21 lines of

data and one header. Any page length less than 5 will result in no header being transmitted.

Select

4-Instrument ID

from the

System setup menu to record the instrument ID number (usually the

instrument serial number), and press

Enter

. A prompt will appear which will allow you to type in the

serial number of your sonde. This will make sure that any data that is collected is associated with a
particular sonde.

The

5-Circuit Board SN

entry shows the serial number of the PCB that is resident in your sonde (not the

entire system as for Instrument ID). Unlike the

Instrument ID

, the user cannot change the

Circuit Board

Select

6-GLP filename

to enter a name for the file that is automatically generated and appended as you

calibrate any of the sonde sensors. The default designation for the GLP file is the Circuit Board SN and
this name can be retained if you wish. See section 2.9.3 for general information on the GLP file.

Select

7-SDI-12 address

from the System Setup menu to change the value. Input a number between 0 and

9 and then press

Enter

to confirm the selection. The SDI-12 default address is zero (0). This feature is

fully described in

Section 7,

Communication

and only utilized if the unit is to operate in a SDI-12

communication protocol network.

Finally, select your language of choice for the sonde menus. Then

press

Esc

again to return to the

Main menu.
