摘要
A simple, automatic scanning and recording system designed specifically to receive the output from up to twenty‐five droplet thermocouple psychrometers is described. Essential components are a solenoid‐operated, low‐level switch, a high grade preamplifier and a potentiometric chart recorder capable of remote operation. Chart traces show noise level is low even on a 10 μV range. Provision is made to correct psychrometer readings for temperature effects due to heat of respiration. Statistical comparison of psychrometer calibrations obtained with this system and with manual switching into a reflecting galvanometer show the former system is at least as accurate as the latter. Parallel leaf water potential measurements made with the two systems agreed closely. Copyright © 1969, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
