Italic indicated text indicates that the text concerned appears in writing on the display or must be typed. 

1.    Learning the Scuba in 30 minutes 

1.1  See your Scuba 

 

1.

 

The Scuba multiprobe is configured with your choice of sensors, and with or without a battery pack. 

2.

 

The underwater cable connects the Scuba to a data display (PC, Amphibian, logger, telemetry device 
or, using the Bluetooth battery, a tablet or smart phone). 

3.

 

The storage/calibration cup protects the sensors when the Scuba is not in use (keep a few ounces of 
tap water in the storage/calibration cup when the Scuba is not being used). And with the lid removed, 
it holds your calibration solutions. 

4.

 

The Scuba flash drive contains the software for connecting your Scuba to your PC or other data 
display, plus a digital copy of this manual, several instructional videos, and several technical notes. 

5.

 

The optional data cable lets you communicate conveniently with your Scuba when an underwater 
cable is not needed, for instance, during calibration.  

6.

 

The USB adapter connects between your underwater cable (or data cable) and a USB port on your 
display device. The USB adapter can also connect an external power supply to your Scuba if USB power 
is not adequate (particularly with long underwater cables or large number of sensors). 

    

Do not use the USB adapter with anything but a USB port and a Scuba
