I am using a YSI probe and meter (model 5100) to set up BODs. I would like clarification on the effects of barometric pressure on BOD readings. From the manual, I understand that the instrument has the capacity to compensate for altitude or barometric pressure. Does this mean that I do not have to anything else? Please let me know so that I could can change our set up accordingly.

Thank you.

The YSI will compensate during measurement but you do have to calibrate the barometric pressure during each calibration of meter.
