Dear Jeff and Trnsys users,

Actually I use Type557b to obtain the borehole thermal resistance and
thermal conductivity of soil by thermal respons test. I think understanding
the parameter 11 and 12 will make my work better. And can you give me some
other advise for thermal response test by using Type557?

Thank you in advance.
