Monitor
The YSI 6500 monitor combined with the YSI 6-series multi pa-
rameter sondes is intended for use in water quality monitoring ap-
plications. The sondes are able to measure up to 15 different pa-

also contains signal circuitry and communications circuitry that
transmit sensor readings via SDI-12 protocol to the 6500.
