Dear Beth, 
I have been using the software for Tektronix cable testers developed at the
University of Amsterdam by Bouten and Heimovaara for over 8 years, both for
water content and bulk electrical conductivity. I am very satisfied with it.
You can find details, with references, in Chapter 3 of my book Soil Physics
Measurements, published last year by Catena Verlag. Bouten et al. have been
very liberal in sharing it with others. I suggest you contact Dr. Bouten via
e-mail at: w.bouten@frw.uva.nl. 
Best wishes, 
Chris Dirksen

Dear Mr. Metelerkamp: 

I am looking for information on programs that may be available to 
analyze the waveforms from unbalanced (3-prong) sensors installed 
in unsaturated soil.  I am not a programmer, and the prospect of 
having to learn a programming language in order to write a 
program to analyze our home-made sensors is rather daunting.  Do 
you have any ideas for where I would be able to find potential 
suppliers?  We own a Tektronix 1502B to generate the waveforms. 
I was hoping that maybe some researcher had already written a 
program to do this and would be willing to share or provide some 
guidance. 

Thank you for your time. 

Sincerely yours, 
Beth Belk
