3.1 The Main Menu
The ProCheck features three main menus designed for ease of use.
The Main Menu appears when you power up the ProCheck and allows
you to take measurements with Decagon sensors.
Changing Your Sensor
Change the sensor type by pressing the up and down arrow keys
if the sensor list spinner is available.
Note: You can customize the sensor units and calibrations in the
Configuration Menu. The sensor version is only shown if the ProCheck
was able to retrieve sensor information directly from the sensor. A
soil calibration type displays only if it is available for that sensor type.
Taking a Reading
To take a reading, scroll through the sensor list until you find the
sensor type you want to read. Plug the sensor into the stereo jack
on the top of the ProCheck.

display and annotate your readings.
Annotating a Reading
Once you have taken a reading, press Save to show the Annotate
screen. The left side of the screen shows a reading summary and the
