Abstract
A Bush Recording Soil Penetrometer was interfaced to a portable field data logger (The Polycorder Electronic Notebook), Model 516C-634, manufactured by Omnidata International. Penetrometer data were automatically read and transferred, under microprocessor control, to the portable data logger via an interface cable and appropriate software. The electronic interface linking the two instruments and the interface software is discussed. Use of the system reduced the required field data collection time by approximately 50% and minimized the chance for human error in the data collection process. The system also allows for efficient and accurate transfer of recorded field data to a separate desk-top microcomputer for subsequent analysis.
