What is the Intelligent Probe Configuration Utility?

The Intelligent Probe Configuration Utility is provided to configure the EnviroSMART and EasyAG

SDI-12 probe interfaces with depth location, normalization values (air and water counts) and calibration

information for each sensor installed on the probe. This information is stored in non-volatile memory,

and is used to produce the calculated value (value that has been processed via the interfaces calibration

formula) from each sensor on the probe.

Communication between the Intelligent Probe Configuration Utility and the EnviroSMART and

EasyAG SDI-12 probe interface is done using the Intelligent Probe Configuration Utility cable from a

computers communication port to the probe interfaces TTL port.

Note: Temperature Sensors are currently not supported by the EnviroSMART and EasyAG SDI-12

probe interface.

Note: Information stored in non-volatile memory will not be lost when power is removed from the

SDI-12 probe interface.

Setting the Probe Configuration

The Intelligent Probe Configuration Utility is provided to configure the EnviroSMART and EasyAG

SDI-12 probe interfaces with depth location, normalization values (air and water counts) and

calibration.

Auto-detect Sensors

Auto-detect Sensors will detect all sensors currently installed on the probe. After the sensors are

detected the configuration information (including type of sensor) will be displayed in the Probe

Configuration list.
