As a result of major security updates Microsoft has implement, MANTECH cannot guarantee that PC-BOD will operate if updates in Windows 10 or 11 Pro operating systems. PC-BOD can operate in virtual mode however, this leaves the analyzer vulnerable to viruses (leading to corrupted databases) and could impact the software when Windows updates are performed. Here is some more information about everything you need to know before updating to Windows 10…read more. In 2021, MANTECH introduced a line of all new hardware and BOD Pro software designed for Windows 10 and 11 Pro OS – meaning that all security and OS updates can run concurrently.
There are a few different options to move forward:
- Install PC-Titrate on Windows 10 computer (no guarantee).
- Replace the entire system (all new hardware and software) with a trade-in discount for your existing system.

Generally speaking, dissolved oxygen readings are dependent on atmospheric pressure. This is because the density of water changes with pressure, and this in turn affects the mg/L of dissolved oxygen. Here is a resource describing the “why” behind this. It is also dependent on temperature for similar reasons.
The YSI meter does compensate for changes in atmospheric pressure. Here is a document explaining this. The document also provides advice for troubleshooting when challenges are occurring in BOD testing. One important aspect is to make sure you are calibrating the probe before each day of testing.
