to create a new zone will be presented. If a zone already exists, data are

attributed to that zone.

The function stores volumetric water content values. Make

a measurement before pressing the button.

8.2 What is stored?

The flash file system holds the water content data file, the zone table, and the

table of configuration settings. The most important among these is the water

content data file. When the user stores a measurement by pressing , the

most recent measurement of volumetric water content (VWC) is stored with

the measured period, sensor type, current date and time, and latitude and

longitude (if GPS synchronization has been achieved). If the GPS is switched

off or does not have a valid synchronization, system time and date are used

without GPS confirmation of their accuracy. When the GPS is disabled, check

and adjust the system clock before storing data.

The water content data file is configured as ring memory and is large enough to

hold over 1000 values. When the file becomes full, the oldest data are

overwritten and storage continues.

The zone data file is configured as fill-and-stop memory. It holds a list of

zones that have been created. Zones are created whenever a datum is stored in

a new location. Each zone record contains the center position (latitude and

longitude), radius in meters, and the zone name. The zone file is large enough

to hold over 100 zones. When the zone data file is full, a new zone cannot be

created until an old zone is removed.

The configuration settings file is managed automatically. These settings are

synchronized to the computer where they can be viewed, modified, backed up,

and restored. For more information, please refer to the HydroSense II Support

Software user guide.
