A primary function of the 650 is to facilitate the storage of field data from 6-series sonde sensors for later
analysis. It is important to understand that sonde sensor data can be logged to two memory locations using a
system consisting of a 650 interfaced with a sonde: (1) memory resident in the sonde and (2) memory resident
in the 650 itself. Different applications may favor one logging choice over another. In addition, data can be
logged either as single points (after the user has verified stabilization) or as a continuous data stream at a fixed
sample interval. No matter where or how the user decides to log field data with a 650/sonde system, the 650
software plays the key role in controlling the process.
When setting up the 650/sonde system for your logging application, it important to realize that the
650 Run
display, from which all logging is initiated can be activated by two methods. The first is to simply highlight
the
Sonde run
selection from the 650 menu. The second is to use the
Sonde menu
command from the
650
Main menu
to enter the sonde menu structure and then to activate a
Discrete sample
study. Either of these
methods can be used to log data to both the sonde and the 650. However, for most applications, the latter
method (Run screen from sonde
Discrete sample
) should be used to activate logging to sonde memory with
the sample interval between logged points in a continuous data stream set from the
Discrete sample
menu of
the sonde. Likewise, the former method (direct activation of the
650 Run
display from the
Sonde run
command) should usually be used to activate logging to 650 memory with the sample interval set in the
Logging setup menu of the 650.
NOTE: Logging to sonde memory may not be possible for some older version 600R, 600XL, and 6820 sondes
that were purchased prior to September 1999.
