chosen from this menu before the flow meter recognizes the event
as a storm. The next menu defines the interval that must pass
between storm events.
If you select CONDITION from SAMPLER ENABLE, the fol-
lowing will appear:
(TEMPERATURE), (RAINFALL), (YSI pH), (YSI DO), (YSI
CONDUCTIVITY) and (YSI TEMP) may also appear.
The above conditions are all shown in parentheses, because they
may not be available to you by the time you reach this menu. The
menus that do appear will depend on programming selections
made earlier in the program. At least one of the conditions will
be available to you. If you select LEVEL from CONDITION the
following will appear:
After you select one of these options, the flow meter will request
that you enter a value, for example if you selected GREATER
THAN:
Enter a maximum value for the selected condition, which if
exceeded, will enable the sampler. If you select LESS THAN, the
flow meter will ask you to enter a minimum value for the
selected condition. If the condition falls below that value later,
the flow meter will enable the sampler.
If you select RATE OF CHANGE, the flow meter will ask you to
enter two values, one for the condition, and the other for a period
of time over which the change occurs.
After you have determined what condition will signal the
sampler and under what circumstances, the following menu will
appear:
This step allows you to trigger the sampler from a single con-
dition or from two conditions. Suppose you wanted to trigger the
sampler from only one condition and that condition was level.
You would select level as the condition, and then identify what
change in level would be the trigger. Then you would select
DONE for the SELECT OPERATOR step. Selection of DONE
will advance the flow meter to the next program step. Selection of
OR or AND will allow you to select another condition, and then
