YSI 9600 - Manual (Page 59)

• Name – This is the designation entered by the user during the set-up of a study. Remember that the
name can contain no more than eight characters and that it must not contain “illegal” Windows filename
characters such as /, \, |, period, colon, asterisk, question mark, greater than, less than, space and
comma.
•
• Size – The size value provides the number of bytes in the data file.
• Type – At the present time, the only type of file possible is “raw” which shows that the data is stored in a
format which must be processed “on the fly” during upload and viewing to provide data in a more user-
friendly format. Additional file types may be added in future versions of the 9600.
• Date Created – This parameter shows the date and time that the study was started.
To process each file within the directory as described below, you must click on the entry to highlight it. You
can also hold the Control or Shift keys and click a series of files to be processed.
6.3 UPLOAD FILES TO YOUR PC
To transfer data files resident in the 9600 memory to a PC that is running NUview software simply highlight
the file(s) and then click the Upload button at the left to show the following display.
You will then be given a choice of file type to upload and the usual choice is the YSI Data Format. A detailed
explanation of the differences in the file formats is provided in Section 5.3.2 above. Once you have chosen a
format, click the OK button and the data will be transferred automatically to the C:\PROGRAM
FILES\NUVIEW\DATA subdirectory on your computer. Use Windows Explorer or My Computer to move
the file to other locations if you wish.
6.4 DELETING FILES
Use this selection to remove selected files from the memory of the 9600. In YSI 6-series sondes, it is
necessary to remove ALL files from instrument flash memory (format) in order to free up space. Even
though the 9600 also uses flash memory, because the memory is partitioned differently, it is possible to delete
individual files to increase available space rather than carrying out a complete formatting operation. To
