Calibrating Diviner 2000
Before you begin to use Diviner 2000 you must enter a calibration
equation. Diviner 2000 does not automatically generate accurate volumetric
soil water content data for all types of soils. To obtain this information you
need to calibrate Diviner 2000
You calibrate by using either the default calibration equation supplied by
Sentek Pty Ltd or deriving your own customized calibration equation. The
Sentek Pty Ltd supplied equation gives ‘relative data’; your own calibration
equation gives ‘absolute data’. For most users ‘relative data’ is sufficient.
What is the calibration equation?
A calibration equation is a mathematical relationship between Diviner 2000
scaled frequency readings and real volumetric soil water content. It is
determined by Gravimetric Sampling, refer to Appendix C. This
mathematical relationship is described by an equation which has ‘A’, ‘B’
and ‘C’ values. An example is shown in Figure 6.
