;
;EC is then calculated by multiplying the reciprocal of resistance,
;which is conductance, by the cell constant.

NOTE: The cell constant (Kc) is printed on the label of each sensor or it can be calculated
(see Section 6.4). It is entered in place of nnn below.

Temperature: Temperature is measured with a single instruction, P11, that
measures the thermistor resistance and calculates temperature. Output is °C
when a multiplier of 1 and an offset of 0 is used. See Section 10 of datalogger
manual for detailed information on the function of Instruction P11.

5.3 Correction of Ionization Errors in EC Measurement
Ionization caused by the excitation of the EC sensor can cause large errors.
Campbell Scientific has developed a linear correction for conductivity between
0.005 and 0.44 mS cm
-1
, and a quadratic correction for conductivity between
0.44 and 7.0 mS cm
-1
. Corrections were determined in standard salt solutions
containing KCl, Na

SO

, NaHCO

, and NaCl.
