Appendix A. Discussion of TDR Probe Offset and a Simple Laboratory Method for Calculation
4. Enter Terminal Mode using Options/Terminal Emulator.
5.
Press Enter until > appears (the line commands are not case sensitive)
6.
Type GVAR then Enter.
7.
It is recommended that step 6 be repeated several times and that the
average values of Start and End be used for following calculations.
GVAR returns the uncorrected
Start and End. These values must be
converted to distance from index values. This is done as follows:

Equations [A3] and [A4] are then used to calculate probe offset.
A.3.2 An Example Using CS605
• Measured TDR probe rod length: 3.0:L
m.
•
Measure temperature of water in column C4.24:T °
.
•
Determine actual dielectric permittivity of water using following equation
or values in TABLE A-1.
