Do not use a slow integration time as sensor polarization errors
will occur.

NOTE

7.2.3 Calculate Soil Water Potential

The datalogger program can be written to store block resistance or can
calculate water potential from a block calibration. The soil water potential
versus resistance values in TABLE 7-3 are typical values supplied by
Delmhorst Corporation.
