YSI 9600 - Manual (Page 96)

APPENDIX A ECOWATCH FOR WINDOWS
COMMANDS
The following section provides a description of all EcoWatch functions. Examples shown in the
discussion use water quality parameters from 6-series sondes rather than nitrate data from a Model 9600,
but the functionality of the commands is identical for both applications. As noted above, several of the
commands in EcoWatch are used to communicate to 6-series sondes and these commands are not relevant
for use with the 9600.
