If memory card was not inserted during boot-up, the following screen will appear:

Install card and re-start DataLogger. NEVER REMOVE CARD WHILE LOGGING DATA.
This is the Data Acquisition screen:
Figure 9
There are warning signals programmed into the Veris DataLogger to warn the operator that data
are not being recorded, so that corrective action can be taken. If data aren’t being recorded, a
warning alarm will sound, and the portion of the screen text that is missing information will blink.
For example, if t
he DGPS isn’t being received (or the NMEA string containing speed) the Lat/Long
text will blink. If EC values are negative, they will blink. Also, the Data Status LED light on the
front of the DataLogger indicates the whether data is being recorded. If this light is not lit, data are
not being recorded. (note: no data is recorded unless unit is moving
—receiving speed signal from
GPS)
At any time during the mapping process, you can press any key to stop the file. If you create more
than one file from the same field, you can bring the files into a spreadsheet program or GIS and
combine for whole field map display.
After #4 key is pressed during Data Acquisition, the following screen will be displayed: (if data
was collected during Data Acquisition)

DATA IS ONLY STORED ON THE SD CARD. NO INTERNAL FILES ARE CREATED.
If no data was logged during Data Acquisition, the following screen will be displayed:
