Both the source and the detector are located in the probe. The gauge should be calibrates for each soil or soil like material type. The Calibration Transfer feature allows transfer of these material dependent calibrations to two or more gauges. Calibration transfer decreases gauge downtime, reduces labor and helps ensure more precise, uniform measurements among gauges. Moisture units are user selectable.
Arimad tests are simple and short.
Arimad is a plant tester in contrast to other instruments which test soils or climatic conditions. The pressure chamber method demonstrates the plants reaction to moisture excess or deficiency. The water potential is a clear indication of water deficiency in a plant and of the ability of the plant to absorb water.
