 CS625 Water Content Reflectometer (CS625WCR) 

Inputs 

Frequency (Freq) 

Soil Temperature C (SoilTemp) 

Outputs 

Volumetric Water Content (VWC) 

Description 

This block is used to compute Volumetric Water Content (VWC) using a CS625 Water Content 
Reflectometer sensor.   

Wiring 

The CS625 sensor’s output should be wired to the input of the 6461-1285 frequency divider. The 
output of the divider should be connected to the input of the DIO module. A Frequency block is 
used to measure the input frequency. Set the sample period of the Freq block to 200mS.  

The VWC calculation can be compensated for the current soil temperature, if desired. To do so, 
connect a block measuring the current soil temperature to the Soil Temperature input of the 
CS625WCR block. You may choose to use a Const block (providing a constant value), if soil 
temperature does not change enough to require additional compensation. 

The diagram below shows a typical graphical setup of the CS625WCR block, compensated for 
soil temperature using a constant value entered into the Const block. To compensate for soil 
temperature using a measured value, replace the Const block with a sensor block configured to 
measure the current soil temperature. To assume a constant soil temperature of 20 C, do not 
connect any block to the Soil Temperature input.
