SCAN SDI-12 SONDES

↓

Select “SCAN SDI-12 SONDES” and press ↵. The system will scan to see what sondes are connected. If it detects a different sonde, it will indicate so, and advance to the setup screens.

If the 6712 scans for sondes and finds one that is Isco Ready, it will automatically recognize the sonde’s data types and units. You can then use Hardware options to setup the definitions for data storage and calibrate the sonde.

Even with an Isco Ready sonde, the 6712 may find a parameter that is not on its list of supported parameters (Figure 6-1). It can still work with such a parameter. Such a parameter will be iden- tified as something like “05DATA1” and you will have to men- tally associate the appropriate data type with that label. However, once such data is brought into Flowlink™, data sets can be manually changed so that reports show the appropriate labels.

6.4Other SDI-12 Sondes If you have connected an SDI-12 sonde that is not Isco Ready, you will need to define the sonde’s data values.

When you select the address of the sonde you want to set up (see screens in the margin), the company model and other infor- mation will be displayed along with the number of data values the sonde has.

When you advance to the next screen (see #3 below), the data types will be listed as “OTHER” because you have not defined them yet. Move between the data types using the arrow keys. Select one to change by pressing ↵.

A list of possible parameters will be displayed (see #4 below). Use the arrow keys to move through the options. When the one you want is blinking, press ↵. Repeat the process until you have defined all of the data parameters for your sonde.

Use the arrow key to move to “DONE” and press ↵. You will then be asked if you want to store the parameter data.
