Collecting pH data

about to map. Options: Press any key and proceed to menu options.

Press 1 to calibrate pH electrodes as described above. Press 2 to download or delete the electrode
log file as described above. Press 3 to adjust the pH controller’s settings.
Sampling time is the duration that the sampler assembly is in the soil. Typically 2 seconds is
adequate. In soil conditions that do not produce a firm core, this time may need to be set at 3
seconds in order to allow soil to begin flowing through cutting shoe. If soil conditions result in a very
firm core, the sampling time may be reduced to 1 second. Press 1 or 2 to adjust the sample time,
press 3 to continue to the next screen.
