Getting to the final mashup
This is an easy step by step procedure for converting data collected by sonde into the YSI 650 MDS and transfered into a computer to the pictures as seen below.
The following is an example of data from sonde, which has been converted to a csv file using EcoWatch.


"Date","Time","Temp","SpCond","Cond","Resistivity","pH","ORP","Longitude","Latitude"
"M/D/Y","hh:mm:ss","C","uS/cm","uS/cm","Ohm.cm","","mV","DD.dddd","DD.dddd"

The final product from the cvs file is presented as the pictures below, which was produced from a combination of google earth, GNUplot and GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP).

  • GNUplot which is used to get the graph is installed in all the ACLs and in stewie, and hence you don't have to install to use it.
  • To make the graph, go to the directory where you have your data file (which will be a csv file if it was generated by EcoWatch).
  • type "gnuplot" and return, then you will be on gnuplot.
  • To plot the data file type 'load "file name"' and enter.
