26 August 2010: HFP01SC Program

After multiple drafts, still cannot get program to correctly report heat flux plate value.

Contacted Justin Baumgartner at Campbell:

Hi Christine,

Attached is the new revision of your program. Changes made were: Added shf(1) to the data tables. Changed the HFP01SC_Cal to HFP01SC_Mult and took out the extra scan instruction.

Let us know how it goes.

Best,

His changes worked and we are now successfully logging heat flux plate values in the ground. Hooray!
