7-11
o Spectrometer Port
 Bits per second: 9600
 Data bits: 8
 Parity: None
 Stop bits: 1
 Flow control: none
Port Definitions
o Temperature Port – Reads in soil temperature.
 Example of temperature port connected in HyperTerminal
o GPS Port
– Reads in GPS coordinates.
Example of GPS port connected in HyperTerminal.
o Control Port
– Reads in EC, Auxiliary case temperature and humidity, and
shutter steps. After opening this port if no data is present type S for shank
mode or P for probe mode. The letter after E represents the shutter state.
In the case below the shutter is in neutral or rest. If the case reads R the
shutter is in reference or if there is a D the shutter is in dark. To manually
move the shutter type N for neutral, then R for reference, then D for dark.
Example of Control Port connected in HyperTerminal.

Shank Mode
E shutter position, current, voltage deep, voltage shallow *
T temperature, humidity, shutter steps, 0, 0*
