	How much do they cost?
	There is a difference in the price range. The pen-style instruments cost less than the handhelds. The cost for the handhelds also depends on the cable lengths chosen when making the purchase selection. However, all of the EcoSense products are intended to provide a low cost alternative to traditional YSI products and a an accurate, reliable alternative to other brands in the lower cost market. The price range from the lowest cost to most expensive option over the entire product line is under $100 to approximately $550.

	For the DO200 instrument how is the barometric pressure compensated?
	The DO200 allows for barometric pressure compensation in mbars during the DO calibration routine. Subsequent DO readings will be compensated based on the barometric pressure input during the calibration routine. The manual has a conversion chart for inHg and mmHg to mbars if needed.
