2.4 COMMUNICATING WITH YOUR SONDE
There are two sets of software at work within the YSI sonde. PC6000 is resident in your PC, while
the other software is resident in the sonde itself. When you select
Sonde
from the PC6000 Main
menu the PC based software begins direct communication with the sonde-based software via
standard VT100 terminal emulation.
Using the arrow keys, highlight and select
Sonde
from the Main menu bar. Press
Enter
as
instructed, type “
menu
” after the # sign and the Main sonde menu will appear.
