If you pressed the option #3, pH and EC, this is the next screen:
Figure 24
The display is showing the pH values from the pH electrodes, conductivity of the top 1’ (30 cm) and
top 3’ (90 cm) of the soil, and whether you have GPS or DGPS (differentially corrected) signal. At
any time during the mapping process, you can press the 4 key to stop the file. If you create more
than one file from the same field, you can bring the files into a spreadsheet program and combine
them prior to mapping. Note: the #1 key toggles the pH sampler from engaged to disengaged; the
#4 key stops the file.
From this screen, pressing the 1 key as you drive forward will initiate the automatic sampling
process. The software requires movement indicated by the GPS receiver in order to cycle.
Speed must be detected within 5 seconds after pressing 1 or the system will disengage.
If TAP or DI were selected as the wash water type above, the controller will go through a wash
baseline process after engage is pressed for the first time. The status text will change to the
following:

After washing (or immediately if RO was selected as the wash water type), the unit will continue
cycling and display the following screen:
Figure 26
“Cycling” means the sampler assembly is in the process of washing, and lowering for soil sampling.
After a core has been collected and is being held against the electrodes, the status text will change
to the following:
