Measuring the soil moisture content
When your access tubes have been installed, you are ready to use the
Diviner 2000
to measure soil moisture content. Refer to the Access Tube
Installation Guide or your local distributor for details on how to install your
access tubes.
You use one of two modes to record the soil moisture data:
•
scan—automatically takes readings at 10 cm intervals and the data
is recorded by the display unit
•
continuous—reading at any depth but the recording is manual so
you need to write down the readings.
