1. A submersible multi-parameter sonde having an integrated user interface comprising:

  • a water-tight housing defining a water-tight volume, wherein said water-tight housing is at least partially optically transparent;

    a central processing unit (CPU);

    a display electronically connected to said CPU;

    an accelerometer electronically connected to said CPU;

    a measurement subsystem in electronic contact with said CPU and that provides an input to said CPU from a plurality of sonde sensors;

    whereinsaid CPU, display, accelerometer and measurement subsystem are positioned in said water-tight volume; and

    said accelerometer is configured to detect;

    a change in orientation including by a tilting of the sonde by a user thereof, and an exerted force including by a tapping or double tapping of the sonde by the user, to generate an input to said CPU; and

    said CPU is configured to process said input and control an output display configuration of said display based on said input to implement, absent any external electronics, selections of the user for display configuration and sonde function of the sonde.
