C.3 Agitator Control

Campbell Scientific ships the agitator with a repeat cycle timer. Using the
repeat-cycle timer requires no datalogger programming. However, some users
choose to use a solid-state relay and have the datalogger agitate the water on
the probe face either periodically throughout the day or just before
measurement. Agitating just before the measurement saves on power and
causes less wear and tear on the agitator and probe membrane.
