When partnered with the Aspen™10 Internet of Things (IoT) Edge Device, the SoilVue™10 measures soil profiles with minimal site disturbance and delivers accurate soil water content, electrical conductivity, and temperature profiles. This connection makes the SoilVue 10 virtually maintenance free by eliminating the need for long cable runs or battery replacements.

SoilVue 10 TDR Soil Moisture and Temperature Profile Sensor
The SoilVue™10 is a soil water content profile sensor powered by Campbell TrueWave™TDR technology. This soil moisture, electrical conductivity, and temperature profile sensor was developed with environmental researchers and environmental monitoring networks in mind. The SoilVue 10 represents several exciting advancements in in-situ soil measurement that should make this an extremely compelling option for anyone in these applications who needs to make multiple measurements in a profile.
Campbell Scientific’s proprietary TrueWave TDR technology combines a best-in-class rise time with an advanced waveform analysis technique to determine the true travel time of a high-frequency pulse. This process achieves a high-resolution, smooth signal for measurements that are defensible and can be universally compared with other TDR measurements. Not all TDR-based sensors perform equally well.
Aspen 10 Edge Device for a Single Sensor
The revolutionary Aspen™10 Internet of Things (IoT) Edge Device allows users to easily connect their environmental sensor to the cloud. It is rugged and durable and may be mounted outdoors without the need for a second enclosure. It has an integrated solar panel and internal rechargeable battery, making the Aspen 10 a truly self-sustaining device.
The Aspen 10 is also small and compact, which makes it easy to install in a variety of locations without disturbing the environment it is monitoring. An integrated IoT cellular modem allows the Aspen 10 to transmit data to the cloud, and a global positioning system (GPS) receiver provides automated installation location.
Setting up the Aspen 10 to read your sensor is quick and easy thanks to a new sensor interface technology that allows automatic identification of any sensor with an SDI-12 identification. The Aspen 10 publishes this ID to the cloud, in return receiving a customized measurement configuration and program for your specific sensor and application. You can then monitor your data from anywhere.
Overview
Aspen 10 and CampbellCloud Integration
Combining the SoilVue 10 and the Aspen 10 gives you access to streamlined data management through CampbellCloud. This integration ensures data accuracy, storage, and secure, real-time accessibility to simplify soil measurements for environmental research and monitoring networks.
CampbellGo: CampbellCloud Field Companion App
CampbellGo, a companion app to CampbellCloud, simplifies the deployment and troubleshooting of Aspen 10-enabled SoilVue 10 stations. With near field communication (NFC) and Bluetooth connectivity, CampbellGo allows a direct wireless connection to the Aspen 10 for immediate device status, configuration options, and access to network views while on-site.
