During the measurement, all determined measurement results are displayed graphically
in the LABROS SoilView software. A graph with the individual measurement points plotted
(x-axis represents Time; y-axis represents the K-value [W/m
×
K]) is displayed in the SoilView
measurement screen ( Figure 36 ).
On the right side of the SoilView measurement screen next to the graph, is a table that lists
all the measurement points (
Figure 36 ). The heading names and description of data in this
table are listed below in Table 7 .
Table 7 Measurement Table Details
Table Column Headings Data
Date/Time
Date and time of the current measurement value.
K [W/m x K] Recorded thermal conductivity value.
Heating Power [W/m]
Specified heating power in W/m.
Select a value between 1.3 to 10.3 W/m for TC-S70 and 0.8 to 6.0 W/m
for TC-S100 in steps of 0.1 W/m.
Temperature Drift [mK/s] Temperature drift measured before sensor heating. Used to correct
for ambient temperature drift during heater measurement.
Start Temperature [°C]
Recorded temperature before start of an active conductivity
measurement (before heating).
Max Temperature Heat [°C]
Difference during heat process between start temperature and final
temperature value.
Measured values in the Measurement table can be sorted by clicking on one of the table
column headings. The weight graph and respective table can be found in
Figure 36 .
2.7.5.2 STOP A MEASUREMENT
There are three ways to stop a measurement.
• Click on the
STOP button in the Measurement tab.
• Click on the STOP button in the Measurement line.
• Click on STOP ALL in the table header to stop ALL measurements for a specific device type.
Each method requires the user to confirm the desire to stop the measurement. Confirm by
clicking Yes in the pop-up window that appears.
