Soil Specific Calibrations

How to enter and apply soil-specific calibrations.

Generic soil calibrations result in reasonable accuracy for most mineral soils. For additional accuracy create and apply soil-specific calibrations. Soil-specific calibrations can be entered and applied from the Device Configuration or from the Data table.

For more information on how to calibrate sensors or to learn about the METER calibration service, contact Customer Support.

Edit

Ports

In the Ports section of the Device Configuration for soil water content sensors, select from the existing calibrations or enter a new calibration for that sensor model. Soil-specific calibrations are unique to each sensor model. Sensor models that share the same calibration are listed below:

  • 5TE and 5TM
  • TEROS 11 and TEROS 12

Individual

Select the   Pencil   icon to edit the calibration for soil moisture measurements. Or select Edit  from the     Ellipsis   menu.

Bulk

On the Data page use the checkboxes to multi-select and make bulk edits to the calibration by selecting Soil Calibration from the toolbar.

Calibration

Soil-Specific

Enter a name for the calibration. Coefficients can be entered in scientific notation or full decimal form. For example 1.0e-3 or 0.001.
