SDI-12 Probe Interface

About setting up the EnviroSMART® and EasyAG® SDI-12 probe
interface

This section provides information on setting up the EnviroSMART and EasyAG SDI-12 probe

interfaces.

Why do I need to configure the SDI-12 probe interface?

The EnviroSMART and EasyAG SDI-12 probe interface must be configured to ensure valid

information is reported to the data logger when data is requested. This information includes the

number of sensors, normalization values (air and water counts) and calibration information.

By default, each SDI-12 probe interface is supplied with an SDI-12 address of “0”. If multiple probes

are to be installed on an SDI-12 bus, each SDI-12 probe interface must be assigned a unique address

(see section Addresses).

Warning!

Incorrect configuration information stored in the EnviroSMART or EasyAG SDI-12 probe interface will result in

incorrect volumetric water content (mm/10cm) readings being reported to the controlling device.

For more information on setting up the EnviroSMART and EasyAG SDI-12 probe interface, refer to

the Intelligent Probe Configuration Utility online help.
