column. It is customary to begin at the top left of the Display, but you have the option to choose
any cell in any order. You will find that it takes some time to become familiar with the
abbreviations, and the list of options is quite lengthy. The options chosen below will suit most
of your needs for pre-deployment testing. Become familiar with those in the Numeric Display
above for now and explore further parameters on the list as you have time.
See the Numeric Display table below. The pop-up list that offers a list of entries appears when
you click and highlight a specific gray cell and then click on the Add… button.
You may open up to three numeric displays at the same time. In the example above all of the
necessary information has been displayed on one numeric display (one window). Notice that
values are shown in the white cells to the right of the parameter. The interpretation of some of
these values will be used in the descriptions below.
Select only a few of the _SDI locations (_sdi_#), 12 locations maximum. If Meteorological
sensors are an option, select these as well. However, do not over-select since the data logger
may not be able to display all of the locations once the profile program starts. You may
experience a loss of connection in this case. If you lose the connection, the program continues to
execute, however, you will not see the updates.
Note that there are many parameters available to build the Numeric Displays. Of particular
interest in depth profiling using a YSI sonde are the sonde parameter ID numbers
