While the instrument is in pH data acquisition, the pH sampler settings can be adjusted without
exiting the current file. Additionally, a correction can be applied to each electrode’s pH shown on
the screen. Occasionally, the pH readings shown on the screen may differ from those expected in
the field. If this is the case, the pH shown on the screen can be adjusted up or down
The offset is adjustable in 0.5 pH increments up to +/- 2.00 pH. NOTE: The instrument DOES
NOT apply this offset to the extracted file. Only the readings seen on the screen will be affected.
Sampling time is the duration that the sampler assembly is in the soil. Typically 2 seconds is
adequate. In soil conditions that do not produce a firm core, this time may need to be set at 3
seconds in order to allow soil to begin flowing through cutting shoe. If soil conditions result in a
very firm core, the sampling time may be reduced to 1 second. Press the up and down arrows to
adjust the sample time.
