should beep (if the beeper is enabled) and the 5100 should briefly display ”BC” and the bar
code number.

External Computer Keyboard
An external computer keyboard may be connected to the Model 5100 while in the Remote mode.
This greatly improves data entry when entering sample ID numbers used with YSI BOD Analyst
software (when a bar code reader is not available). The computer keyboard must be PC
compatible and have a 6-Pin Mini DIN connector. A commercially available adapter may be used
if necessary (5-Pin DIN to 6-Pin mini DIN). See 4.3 Rear Panel for the location of the socket.
The model 5000 does not support an external computer keyboard.

8. Diagnostics

The YSI 5000/5100 has a diagnostic mode that is used primarily during troubleshooting. In
Diagnosis mode you can view information from specific sensors, such as DO probe current, DO
background current and pressure sensor offset. This information is useful when trying to isolate
problems or monitor sensor conditions. When the 5000/5100 senses a problem, it displays an
error code and message. Diagnosis mode can be used to determine when membrane/probe service
is needed, before the instrument displays an error code. Refer to section
