;The following loop checks each block resistance and calculates 
;water potential if BlockR < 17 kohms. Because 2 blocks are measured 
;with each pass through the previous measurement loop, it is simpler 
;to use a separate loop for the calculations. 
;Leave out following loop if only recording block resistance.
