    Click on the "Use" button 

  2. Select the necessary drop-downs to fit your requirements

    • SDI12 Address: This is a predetermined number that the sensor is set to

      • Most sensors are preset by factories as "0" 

    • Logging interval (min): Logging should be set to 15 minutes 

      • For full length probes logging should not be set faster than 15 minutes 

    • Number of levels: This is a preset number on the probe and should be adjusted to fit the specifications of the probe itself

      • EnviroPro

        • 16" = 40cm = 4 sensors

        • 32" = 80cm = 8 sensors 

        • 48" = 120cm = 12 sensors

        • 64" = 160cm = 16 sensors

      • Sentek 

        • 12" = 30cm = 3 sensors

        • 24" = 60cm = 6 sensors

        • 36" = 90cm = 9 sensors

        • 48" = 120cm = 12 sensors

    • EC Included: This is a predetermined setting and the choice should be selected based on the specifications of the probe itself 

      • Note

        • EnviroPro's can be remotely upgraded to EC. Get in touch with Wildeye to find out how. Have your Enviropro’s serial number handy.

        • Sentek Drill and drops can not be upgraded, they either have EC or do not

    • Same Soil Type at all levels: This is an option when knowing the soil type in the field ahead of time. 

    • Depth 1/all soil type: This can be adjusted to fit the soil profile
