Exported data
The RhoC5 app allows exporting of data as a CSV (comma-separated values) file that can be opened directly by various programs, including MS Excel. An example of such a file can be downloaded from the bottom of this page.
CSV export
The table below shows a description of the headers in the CSV file.
Header | Unit | Description |
|---|---|---|
Measurement nr | Successive number of the measurement or borehole. | |
Location | User provided description of the measurement/borehole. | |
Reading nr | Successive number of the reading within the measurement. | |
Time | Timestamp of the measurement, includes both the date and a time. | |
Depth | Centimeter | Depth of the center of the soil density measurement. Note that the soil moisture sensor is located 100 mm lower than the density sensor. |
Latitude | Degree | Latitude of the position as provided by the onboard GPS. |
Longitude | Degree | Longitude of the position as provided by the onboard GPS. |
Position accuracy | Meter | Accuracy of the position. |
Field bulk density | kg/l (identical to g/cc) | Field bulk density. |
Field bulk density accuracy | kg/l (identical to g/cc) | Accuracy of the field bulk density. |
Dry bulk density | kg/l (identical to g/cc) | Dry bulk density. |
Moisture | % volumetric | Soil moisture content. If a user moisture function has been set, this function has been applied to this value. This moisture value has been corrected for depth. |
Raw moisture | % volumetric | The result of the moisture measurement before a correction for the depth offset has been applied. Only present in the output when Advanced moisture data was checked during export. |
Note that each row in the CSV file describes a single reading at a specific depth. Values that are identical for all readings in a measurement are available in each row.
mDOS export
The RhoC5 runs on the Medusa Detector Operating System (mDOS), which stores sensor data onboard. It is possible to download the project files directly from the web interface. These project files may provide additional information. For more details, please check the mDOS documentation: https://docs.medusa-radiometrics.com/mdos-manual/
