“Site Descriptions” that will be instantly available to the user in the field to
facilitate the logging of data with pre-established naming of files and sites.

• Site Descriptions associated with applications where data from a single
site is always logged to a single file. This type is referred to as a “Single-
Site Description” and is characterized by two parameters – a file name and a

Description will be characterized primarily by the file name, but will also
have the Site name attached, so that it is viewable in either the YSI 556
MPS File directory or in EcoWatch for Windows after upload to a PC
• Site Descriptions associated with applications where data from multiple
sites are logged to a single file. This type is referred to as a “Multi-site
Description” and is characterized by three parameters – a file name, a site
