**WARNING** MORE THAN ONE SOIL MODEL CAN PRODUCE SIMILAR APPARENT RESISTIVITY
MEASUREMENT CURVES. IF YOU USE THE DEFAULT STEEPEST-DESCENT
METHOD,
THEN YOU WILL MOST OFTEN OBTAIN DECENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN MEASURED
VALUES AND THE COMPUTED CURVE, WITH A REALISTIC SOIL MODEL;
HOWEVER,
THE FIT MAY OCCASIONALLY BE SUB-OPTIMAL. IN SUCH CASES, THE
MARQUARDT
METHOD WILL USUALLY YIELD AN EXCELLENT FIT, BUT MAY SOMETIMES
SUGGEST
EXTREME RESISTIVITY VALUES. NOTE THAT DIFFERENT SOIL MODELS WILL
USUALLY
YIELD SIMILAR RESULTS FOR YOUR GROUNDING SYSTEM MODELS (I.E., GPR,
TOUCH &
STEP VOLTAGES), PROVIDED THAT THE GROUNDING SYSTEM IS LOCATED
CLOSE TO
THE EARTH SURFACE. IF IN DOUBT, CHECK YOUR RESULTS WITH BOTH SOIL
MODELS.
