SECTION 1 GETTING STARTED The YSI Display and Logger series instruments are powerful, hand held microcomputers that allow the user to display sonde readings, configure sondes, store and recall data, upload data from sondes and transfer data to computers for analysis and plotting. 1.1 BATTERIES AND CHARGING An internal NiMH battery pack powers the YSI 610. This supply is sufficient to run a YSI 610 connected to a sonde for 6-8 hours.

Normally, whenever the AC adapter is plugged in, the YSI 610 turns itself on.
SECTION 2 USING THE KEYBOARD To select different menu options, use the arrow keys to highlight the name of the menu that you want to open, and press the Enter key. To return to the previous menu, press the Esc key. Information can be entered into the YSI 610 when you see a blinking cursor within a highlighted item. If you wish to change the highlighted information, type in the new information, and press Enter. You can enter information in upper or lower case.
RUN MODE You access the Run mode by selecting Run from the YSI 610 Main menu, or by powering up the YSI 610 with a sonde already connected. In the Run mode, the YSI 610 constantly requests live data from the sonde and displays it on the screen. To go to the YSI 610 Main menu from the Run mode, press the Esc key. 3.
collected readings under the pre-assigned site names, you may rename “marked” file to a file name of your choice using submenu FILES. In this mode, you can set up a site list using a Mark Name and a Mark Number. In the Site List use the File item to hold the Mark Name, and the Site item to hold the Mark Number.
USING THE SITE LIST FOR CAPTURE, LOG AND ADD FILES The Site List is accessed through the Setup YSI 610 menu. From the YSI 610 Main menu select Setup YSI 610, and then select Setup Site List. If no sites have been entered, “make NEW entry” appears. To modify an existing list, select an existing name, press Enter and choose from the pop-up menu. To enter a new site, choose Insert. Type in “spillway” and press Enter to add to the list. By typing information after “Site:”, you may further describe your site.
Some 6-Series sondes (6920, 6600 and 600XLM) have on-board memory and power. These sondes can log readings to sonde memory for days or weeks at a time. You may use the YSI 610-D or YSI 610-DM to setup one of these sondes for deployment, disconnect the sonde and allow it to log readings on its own. Then use the YSI 610 to upload files from the sonde. The second application uses YSI 610-DM memory to store readings from any of the 6Series sondes.
(1) The Setup Header menu allows you to specify control and timing information for the deployment. Be sure to set a file name and an interval. We recommend that warm-up time be set between 40 and 60 seconds. LOG Setup Header Setup Filter Start 610 Logging Information (2) The Setup Filter menu allows you to automatically discard samples that do not meet your criteria. This feature is rarely used. Warmup Time allows DO probe to stablize. Time is in seconds. Enter filename and site.
(4) The Logging Information screen tells you how much space is available for additional logging, and how much time this corresponds to in Logging mode.

If you get a “No Sonde” message that persists for more than a 60 seconds, check the cabling, batteries or power, and baud rate. From the YSI 610 Main menu go to the Communications menu and select Kermit YSI 610 < Sonde. You will see the sonde’s File menu. From that menu choose Upload. A list of files will be displayed. Select the file you want and then select Proceed. After choosing a file format, the upload will begin. You will see several status counters on the YSI 610 screen.
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.
While in the Run mode, you can store readings to the Stash memory. To store a set of readings, simply press the “S” key, then at the prompt press any letter to choose a “slot”. ! Press the “S” key to Store. RUN TMP 20.54 CND0.687 DO% 97.5 DOc 38.0 pH 8.32 NO3 2.35 SpC 0.750 SAL 1.42 STORE DO 8.56 Slot (A-Z) ?

Capture memory stores readings to a file as quickly as they come from the sonde. From Run Mode press the “C” key to start Capture. Stop it by pressing “C”, Esc or Power. When you press “C”, readings will resume being displayed in the Run mode. When you press Esc, you return to the Main menu. When you press Power, the YSI 610 turns itself off. Add memory stores a single set of readings to a file. From Run Mode press the “A” key to start Add.
The Mark feature of the YSI 610-DM allows you to store data from several sites into a single file. You can only create a marked file using the “M” key prompt during Run mode. You may upload the file to YSI EcoWatch for Windows software just like any other data file. Example: A typical application would be a horizontal profile on a river or lake studying the effect of location on readings.
do not need to terminate the Add operation since the YSI 610 automatically returns to the Run mode display. Press C key to begin Capture Mode. A key would begin Add Mode.

YSI PC software will interpret the Mark Number just like any other parameter. Viewing the data in table format, you will see columns for each of the readings (Temperature, DO, pH, etc.) and an extra column for the Mark Number. EcoWatch labels the column “Unknown”. Both programs can easily print a report in table format. If you plot the data, there will also be a plot of the site number. Furthermore, readings from all sites will appear end to end as they are in the file.

The wiper motor puts a significant load on the YSI 610's batteries. If you are using wiped turbidity or chlorophyll, we recommend that you have NiMH batteries for your YSI 610 and that you take particular care to keep them charged according to the instructions in Section 1.1, Getting Started. When the batteries are nearly discharged, it is possible that they may not be able to power the motor. In this case, the message will show twice the normal time for cleaning. 7.
The YSI 610 can emulate a “dumb” RS-232 terminal, allowing you to configure and operate devices that communicate using ASCII characters. No handshaking lines are used in the YSI 610 Terminal Emulator. Select Terminal from the YSI 610-D Main menu, or from the YSI 610 –DM Communications menu. You should be familiar with the terminal interface of the target device, or have its operations manual handy. This will avoid accidental disruption of the device’s operation.
Kermit 610 ← logger: Xmodem ←logger: To send a file from non-YSI equipment to a PC, see Section 5, Files. Receiving files from non-YSI equipment requires an extra step. You must first tell the equipment to begin sending the file. Do this using the YSI 610 Terminal emulator. Once the logger is trying to send the file, back out of the Terminal emulator and select Xmodem ←logger: or Kermit 610 ← logger:.
list, or offered right after you select a sensor. Select the sensor and number of points you wish and press Enter. The YSI 610 requests the exact value to calibrate, and commands the sonde to calibrate. DO CALIBRATION Enter Barometric Pressure in mm Hg 740 The YSI 610 will step you through multipoint calibrations if applicable. All YSI sondes described in this manual display the reading until you are satisfied that it is stable. Live readings appear. Press Enter when stable.
7.7 LOGGING MODE (YSI 610 DM ONLY) The YSI 610-DM can log sample data to its internal memory from any YSI sonde. This is separate from the sonde’s ability to log data into its own memory. Logging produces a file in the standard file format, capable of being uploaded to a PC and processed by EcoWatch for Windows. See Section 4, Logging for a detailed explanation. Select Logging from the YSI 610-DM Main menu. Then select Setup Header.
seconds, and the YSI 610-DM makes sure that cleaning will end at least 30 seconds before the sample. You set the number of wipes in the Sonde main menu, see Section 2.9, Sonde menu of the YSI 6-Series Operations Manual. When the YSI 610 is started, the number of wipes is included in the information screen. This allows you to verify that wiping will occur. 7.8 FILE SYSTEM (610 DM ONLY) The YSI 610-DM is equipped with 96 K bytes of battery-backed RAM to hold data files.
Params: Complete list of parameters in file The View Data menu allows you to view all the data in the selected file. Data is arranged into labeled columns. Day-of-the-month and time are always the leftmost columns. Use the four Arrow keys to view the data. Additionally, the 0-9 keys help you quickly position yourself in large files: 0 moves to start of file, 9 to end of file, 1-8 part way through file. If the file is uploaded form a non-YSI logger, the data is shown using a text viewer instead.
3. Set the PC to run from the floppy drive which holds the YSI programs (type A: or B: on the PC, and press Enter on the PC). 4. Disconnect the wall charger from the 610 if it is connected. 5. Turn off the 610 by pressing Power, or by pressing Esc then Power. Reset the 610 by tapping the Esc and Skip keys simultaneously, and then releasing them immediately. If you did this correctly the message RESET DONE or MASTER RESET will appear in the 610 display.
