5.2 Moisture measurements
With the meter in Moisture mode, moisture measurements can be performed us-
ing either the internal moisture sensor or by connecting the external pin probe.
The internal moisture sensor can detect moisture to a depth of 19 mm (0.75″).
The internal moisture reading can be relative or absolute.
The three-digit main display shows the moisture reading, and the four-digit sec-
ondary display shows the ambient air temperature. The bar graph matches the
reading on the main display.
While in Moisture mode, IR measurements may also be performed, see section
5.4 IR temperature measurements, page 14.
