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,
provided the power to the OpticMapper and pH is turned on. 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 and powered on. If the electronics are not found, unplug the serial
or USB cables and reconnect them to the PC and make sure the power to the OpticMapper and
pH controllers are turned on. 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.
