TDR100 Campbell Scientific TDR Probes General Description Dimensions Cable type Cable length Probe offset factor Probe constant for electrical conductivity (Kp) *see Section 5.8.1 CS605 3-rod probe no balun required stainless steel rods Rods: 30 cm length 0.476 cm diameter Probe head: cable-to-rod 10.8 cm width 7.0 cm thickness 1.9 cm RG58 user-specified length 0.085 m 1.74 CS610 3-rod probe no balun required stainless steel rods Rods: 30 cm length 0.476 cm diameter Probe head: cable-to-rod 10.8 cm width 7.0 cm thickness 1.9 cm RG8 low loss user-specified length 0.085 m 1.74 5.8.1 Determining Probe Constant, Kp, using PCTDR Section 6.2.6 presents the principles for TDR measurements of soil electrical conductivity. The result of the measurement must be multiplied by the probe constant (Kp) to give bulk electrical conductivity in S/m (Siemens/meter). The Kp value can be measured using PCTDR. The method requires submersion of the TDR probe rods in de-ionized water of known temperature. See PCTDR HELP for simple instructions. 6. Datalogger Instructions for TDR Measurements 6.1 CR800, CR850, CR1000, or CR3000 Datalogger Instruction "TDR100" The TDR100 instruction is used to measure one or more time domain reflectivity (TDR) probes attached to a TDR100 device. Syntax TDR100 ( Dest, SDMAddress, Option, Mux/ProbeSelect, WaveAvg, Vp, Points, CableLength, WindowLength, ProbeLength, ProbeOffset, Mult, Offset Remarks This instruction can be used to measure one TDR probe connected to the TDR100 directly or multiple TDR probes connected to one or more SDMX50 multiplexers. Dest: The Dest parameter is a variable or variable array in which to store the results of the measurement. The variable must be dimensioned to accommodate all of the values returned by the instruction, which is determined by the Option parameter. 18
