Frequently Asked Questions

When using the M1 to M5 measurement command, how do I get all 5 readings (soil moisture, ECp, temperature, permittivity and ECp).

The M1 – M5 commands will instruct the WET150 to take 5 readings.

The last two readings in the data can sometimes exceed the number of characters returned on the D0 command, so you’ll need to use the D1 command to get the last of the data, in this case permittivity and ECb.

This can vary depending on how large the readings are, or what type of readings you are taking (sequential or concurrent, for example).

Typically, the D0 command can cope with up to 35 characters from a sequential reading or 70 characters from a concurrent reading. For more information on this, please do contact Delta-T technical support.
