to create a new zone will be presented. If a zone already exists, data are
attributed to that zone.
The
function stores volumetric water content values. Make
a measurement before pressing the
button.
8.2 What is stored?
The flash file system holds the water content data file, the zone table, and the
table of configuration settings. The most important among these is the water
content data file. When the user stores a measurement by pressing
, the
most recent measurement of volumetric water content (VWC) is stored with
the measured period, sensor type, current date and time, and latitude and
longitude (if GPS synchronization has been achieved). If the GPS is switched
off or does not have a valid synchronization, system time and date are used
without GPS confirmation of their accuracy. When the GPS is disabled, check
and adjust the system clock before storing data.
The water content data file is configured as ring memory and is large enough to
hold over 1000 values. When the file becomes full, the oldest data are
overwritten and storage continues.
The zone data file is configured as fill-and-stop memory. It holds a list of
zones that have been created. Zones are created whenever a datum is stored in
a new location. Each zone record contains the center position (latitude and
longitude), radius in meters, and the zone name. The zone file is large enough
to hold over 100 zones. When the zone data file is full, a new zone cannot be
created until an old zone is removed.
The configuration settings file is managed automatically. These settings are
synchronized to the computer where they can be viewed, modified, backed up,
and restored. For more information, please refer to the HydroSense II Support
Software user guide.
