Barometric pressure [mBar]
: if the accumulation chamber is connected, the
field is automatically filled with the value recorded by the barometer placed
inside the chamber (average value of the 1 Hz sampling during the
measurement). If this value is not available, or if the user prefers to use its own
barometer, he can replace the value. The final value to then written inside the
output file. The value is also used in the ppm/sec-moles conversion.
Soil Volumetric Water Content [%]
: if a TDR probe is connected, the field
is automatically filled with the value recorded by the probe (average value of
the 1 Hz sampling during the measurement). If this value is not available, or if
the user prefers to use its own sensor, he can replace the value. The final value
to then written inside the output file.
Soil temperature [°C]
: if a soil PT100 probe is connected, the field is
automatically filled with the value recorded by the probe (average value of the
1 Hz sampling during the measurement). If this value is not available, or if the
user prefers to use its own sensor, he can replace the value. The final value to
then written inside the output file.
Notes
: User sampling note. Feel free to insert any note here, which might help
the postprocessing work (example: “strong wind” or “point near well P7”.
Chamber
: Select the accumulation chamber you are using. Tagging the file with
the correct accumulation chamber type is fundamental as the flux is proportional
to the volume/area ratio of the chamber (see chapter 3 for details), and different
types of chamber have different shapes. Choosing an incorrect chamber leads
to an incorrect calculation of the flux from the [ppm/sec] raw data.
If the accumulation chamber is connected, the field is automatically filled with
the corresponding type.
Press the
Save
button to save the file. Once the save button is pressed, a text
file is generated on the Android device internal memory, in the folder
\FluxManager\data.
The files are store in
