The experiment with SLS20 and OEBMS-1 went smoother than I had expected, mostly thank to the help from Xinhua, Junyu, Santosh, Ishara and Daniel. The alignment of SLS20 went very well, again better than last time when the instrument was tested. Still, an automatic alignment will be helpful. Installation of OEBMS-1 went well. There are three dangling connections from soil heat flux sensors that we did know where to connect. But it seems the system works.
We tried to power the SLS20 transmitter and receiver with one battery, but it did not work. Tried to connect two batteries in serial mode to boost the output voltage to 24 V, but it did not solve the problem. Hope Daniel will find out the reason.
It was a sunny day and we all got Sun burn. At least it was not cold.
