SoilViewer Warning Messages
There are warning signals programmed into the SoilViewer to warn the operator that data are not being
recorded, so that corrective action can be taken. If data aren't being recorded, a warning beep will sound
from the computer, and the text indicator of the data that is missing information will blink. Fr example, if the
DGPS isn't being received (or the NMEA string containing speed) the Fix indicator text will blink. If EC
values are negative, they will also blink. Additional messages may appear in the Warning Message Box as
follows:
