6700 SAMPLERS
Table 1: 6700 Standard and Compact Sampler Features
128 kilobytes of battery-backed RAM (Random Access Memory), to store:
Five sampling programs.
A sampling report from the most recently run program. It records as many as
1000 sampling events; events can be the program start time, enable time, sample
event information, etc.
700 Series module readings. The readings can be: level, flow rate, velocity, pH,
temperature, or the data collected by the 4-20 mA module.
Rain gauge and refrigerator temperature readings.
YSI sonde readings.
Five Reports Available The Program Settings report, listing current program settings.
The Sampling Results report, listing the events occurring during the program.
The Combined Results report, combining sampling events with readings from a
rain gauge, module, or YSI sonde.
The Module Summary report, summarizing flow rate or parameter readings.
The Rainfall Summary report, listing a summary of rainfall readings.
Examples of the reports appear in Sampling Reports on page 59.
Serial Data Output ASCII data output from the interrogator port. See Serial Output on page 98.
Units of Measure A variety of metric and English units of measure for length, flow rate, flow
volume, and temperature.
External Sampler Enable Isco flow meters, flow loggers, and PAL 1101s have a programmable sampler
enable feature that lets them send an electronic signal to a 6700 that enables
(starts) or disables (stops) a running sampling program. See Sampler Enable
on page 87.
Master/Slave Sampling Master/slave sampling operates two samplers. See Master/Slave Sampling
on page 95.
Command Driven Operation Operate sampler functions using RS-232 communications. See Command Driven
Operation on page 103.
Warning Messages Pump Tube Warning. The 6700 displays a warning to inspect the tube. See
Replacing the Pump Tube on page 75.
Internal Battery Warning. The 6700 displays a warning when it is time to replace
the internal battery. The internal battery preserves stored data when the 6700 is
without external power. See Replacing the Internal Battery on page 79.
Optional Dialout Modem The 6700 controller can be ordered with a factory-installed 2400 baud dialout
modem. The modem requires B2 hardware. With the modem you can:
connect to the sampler and download data using Flowlink software.
program the sampler to call a contact list when an “alarm” condition exists.
use the optional Phone Commands to control the sampler’s operation from a
remote location. See Chapter 6.
On-Line Help Notes When programming the sampler, press the [?] (Help) key for a brief help note.
All help topics appear in the index.
See Help Notes on page 23.
Two Programming Levels Standard programming lets you set up typical sampling programs quickly.
Extended programming includes all features available in standard
programming plus additional features. See Standard and Extended
Programming on page 25.
