You can perform a two- or three-point calibration for pH with the
YSI sonde. The menus that follow are similar to those in the pre-
ceding section for the Isco pH sensor. Select the calibration that
best suits your stream’s profile. When you complete the pH cali-
bration successfully, the following display will appear:
Returning to the YSI menu, if you select D.O:
ALTITUDE is just off screen to the right. Programming for YSI
600 D.O. is essentially the same as that described for the Isco
D.O. sensor on the preceding section, with the exception that you
always place the sensor in a cup, rather than wrap a moist cloth
around it, as is done for the Isco D. O. sensor.
If you select CONDUCTIVITY for the parameter to calibrate, the
following display will appear:
MS/CM is milli-siemens per centimeter. The siemen is the S.I.
(Système Internationale) name for the unit of conductance, which
is also the reciprocal of the ohm. The siemen was formerly called
the mho (ohm spelled backwards), and that term is more familiar
to some. PPT is parts per thousand. Select the standard most
suitable for your application.
Then:
Then:
If you select PPT for the conductivity standard:
Then:
Then:
There is no need to calibrate the YSI 600 temperature sensor, as
it is self-calibrating.
