Field Operations
—pH Electronics with Veris DataLogger
Attach the serial communication cable to the pH port on back of DataLogger. Connect EC signal
cable, GPS, and power cords to ports on rear of EC Surveyor. NOTE: EC signal is required for
pH data to be recorded. If no EC data is desired or available, install EC test load on EC
Surveyor signal port to provide a simulated EC signal.
Before logging any data, make sure the SD card in the Datalogger is clear of any files that
are not Veris .dat files. Any other files will cause the data an error when logging data.
The Veris DataLogger is not compatible with SDHC cards. Only SD cards will work
correctly.

GPS status: may
read GPS, DGPS,
RTK, or None. If
None, no GPS signal
is received and no
data will be sent out
serial port.
Shallow (Sh) and Deep (Dp) soil EC
readings. If negative, no data will be sent
out serial port. NOTE: FOR pH MAPPING,
SERIAL STRING WITH GPS AND EC
MUST BE SENT TO DATALOGGER; USE
EC TEST LOAD TO PROVIDE EC DATA
