Mineral
,
Organic
, and
User Cal
.
Mineral
and
Organic
are generalized calibrations for those two classes of soils, where predefined values of a0
and a1 are used to calculate moisture content.
User Cal
allows you to enter your own values for
a0 and a1 that you determine through a soil specific calibration procedure. See the ML2x manual
