Appendix: Weather Data
Soil Moisture
Soil Moisture, as the name suggests, is a measure of the moisture content of the
soil. Soil moisture is measured on a scale of 0 to 200 centibars, and can help
choose times to water crops. The soil moisture sensor measures the vacuum
created in the soil by the lack of moisture. A high soil moisture reading indi-
cates dryer soil; a lower soil moisture reading means wetter soil.
Note: Soil Moisture is only available with the wireless Vantage Pro with the optional Soil Moisture station.
Time
The Vantage Pro has a clock and a calendar for tracking time and date. The cal-
endar automatically adjusts during leap years, providing you have entered the
correct year in the Setup Mode.
