—Soil EC Surveyor with SoilViewer software
The EC Mapping software will automatically detect which port the Veris EC Surveyor is connected
to, and begin communicating. If the EC Surveyor is not detected, the software will wait 45 seconds
for the connection of the Surveyor and search again; this is repeated until the Surveyor is
connected. If the Surveyor is not found, unplug the serial or USB cable and reconnect it to the PC.
If the connection is still not made refer to SoilViewer troubleshooting. The conditions for mapping
and storing the data are as follows. The user must be going a speed greater than 1 mph, there
must be a GPS signal received, the EC Comm Light must be green, indicating the PC and EC
Surveyor are communicating properly, and either of the EC values has to be greater than -1.
When all these conditions are met, the Saving Data light will be green and the points will be
mapped.
Files may be appended to if mapping has stopped by selecting a previous file when prompted at
the startup of the software.
