For pore water conductivity (EC ) and water content measurements, the WET150 contains user-configurable parameters. By default, the WET150 is shipped with generic parameters that match the generic parameters in Delta-T’s WET2 sensor. We strongly recommend you review these settings. Best results will be obtained with parameters customised to your specific medium;...
