3: Set Recording Intervals
On selecting a measurement, DeltaLINK automatically sets a
default recording interval, of one hour, as shown below.
Illustration: DeltaLINK, GP2 Program tab with a default Recording
interval set to 1 hour for each of the defined Measurements.
Chose a recording interval appropriate for your soil type.
For instance, if sandy it may drain quickly, in which case the
fastest recording rate possible is about once every 5 seconds for
one WET150 on a GP2. (62 sensors may take 50-55 seconds in
the standard, sequential mode). In a heavy clay you may wish
to start recording once per hour and wait and see how quickly
the soil responds to wetting and drying events.
