11  Appendix C: Multiple turbidity measurements in statistical analysis 

with optical wiping 

11.1  Script objectives 

 
This script can be loaded onto all NEP-695 logging probes using the CR-300 PW200 application. The 
script turns on the sensor. After the warm up time elapses, it performs an optical wiping followed by 
multiple turbidity measurements and stores data at each scan (every five minutes). Then the script calls 
two data tables and stores the data within the datalogger: 
 
•  The script records the wiping status (if jammed or not) of the probe (Wipe_stats) and the full statistical 
measurements (Turbidity, Median, Average, Minimum, Maximum) in NTU within a data table (Table 1) at 
each scan (every five minutes). 
•  The script records the minimum default CR300 Battery Voltage (BattV) and the processor temperature 
measurement (PTemp_C) within another data table (Table 2) once a day. 
 
The script uses the SDI-

12 command “M1!” to trigger a wipe, and the command “M6!” to perform the full 

statistical measurements. 
 

11.2  Wiring & NEP-5000 configuration 

 
Please refer to 

section 6.1

 

“Connect NEP-695 to a single NEP-5000” to properly setup and connect the 

logging probe to the NEP-5000 sensor. 
 
Connect the NEP-5000 probe to your Windows computer using the Blue Box. Configure the NEP-5000 
ranges using the NEP-5000 software. Apply SDI-12 settings. 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

To commit above settings to permanent memory please press set followed by save calibration 

Please refer to the NEP-5000 manual for more information.
