SECTION 6 SAMPLING
Sampling applications refer to readings that are taken while the user is present and
controlling the collection of data.
In sampling applications the total data collection time is relatively brief, from a few
minutes to perhaps a few hours. Examples: taking one set of readings at the outfall of a
wastewater treatment plant once a day, taking readings at one mile intervals along the
length of a river, checking the DO concentration once a week in several ponds, or
spending an entire day profiling a lake.
The YSI 610 has several powerful features that make data collection easy during
applications. Because the interpretation and use of the Site List depends on which feature
you use, we recommend that you choose one method that best suits your needs, learn that
method and ignore the others. The following chart lists the major features of each type of
memory. The rest of this section explains in detail the uses of each type.
