CSV Data File Layout
The following shows a sample of the data from an HH2 Moisture Meter, saved as a
.CSV file using HH2Read, Retrieve , and opened in Microsoft Excel using the File,
Open command. The values here are not representative of expected soil moisture
values. This is a demonstration of the format of the data output to a .CSV file.
The first information collected from the meter are calibration table values, followed by
the values of all settings in the meter when the first reading was taken.
Subsequent readings appear in each row until the data runs out or one of the meter
settings is changed e.g. the Device or Display options are changed.
If the settings are changed, then all the settings information is collected from the
meter again and output to the .CSV file before the subsequent reading values appear
in each row.
This example file shows all the output for the following devices:
SM200
ThetaProbes types ML1 & ML2
Profile Probes type PR1 & PR2
Equitensiometers type EQ2
The .CSV data files for the following device is similar but does not include the
calibration table:
WET Sensor type WET
Note : The layout is modified if you import the .CSV data file in Excel using the
Dataset Import Wizard. Some indication of the difference is shown under "Layout of
Profile Probe Readings" below.
