The simplest method for programming the datalogger to measure the sensor is
to use Campbell Scientific’s SCWin Program Generator (Short Cut).
Short Cut requires the use of a soil temperature sensor before the
253 or 257 sensor is added.
This is needed because there is a
temperature correction factor in the equations that convert sensor
resistance.
In these Quickstart examples, a 107-L temperature
probe is used to measure soil temperature.
