5. PC6000 SOFTWARE
NOTE: If you have purchased Ecowatch for Windows for use with your Model 6000UPG,
consult the Help selection in the top menu bar if you have questions on the use of this
powerful Windows-based software. The following section deals with the MS-DOS-based
PC6000 which is offered with all YSI logger/sampler products at no charge.
5.1 Introduction
The PC6000 program is very useful in the operation of the 6000UPG. This PC based software can be
used with any IBM-compatible computer.
PC6000 enables you to:
• Configure and deploy the sonde
• Retrieve and process data from the sonde
• Capture data from the sonde
• Create a variety of reports and plots
• Print reports and plots
• Save reports and plots to disk
• Export data to other programs
The PC6000 program is completely menu-driven and easy to use. There are nine menus, but
beginning users can generate reports and plots using only two menus.
Use the arrow keys to move the cursor and highlight menu options.
Use the Enter key to select a highlighted menu option.
Use the Esc key to return to a previous screen.
When each menu option is highlighted, a short, descriptive help line is displayed at the bottom of
the screen.
