Pub. #OM17-MSP3

The EC OM pH-MSP3 Mapping software will automatically detect which ports the Veris
OpticMapper /EC Controller and pH Controller are connected to, and begin communicating. If
either is not detected, the software will wait 45 seconds for the connection of the electronics and
search again; this will repeat until both instruments are connected. If the electronics are not found,
unplug the serial or USB cables and reconnect them to the PC. If the connections are still not
made, refer to SoilViewer troubleshooting. The conditions for mapping and storing the data are as
follows. The user must be going a speed greater than 1 mph, there must be a GPS signal
received that includes position and speed (GGA and either VTG or RMC), the OM/EC Comm Light
must be green, indicating the PC and OpticMapper with EC Surveyor are communicating properly,
and either of the EC values has to be greater than -1.
Before mapping, run the OM system check and pH calibration to ensure everything is
operating correctly. pH controller settings can be modified to adjust the wash and cycle
times for specific field conditions.
