3.2.2 Sensor Index
Some Geokon instruments are comprised of more than one sensor. For instance, a
Geokon load cell may contain three, four, or six individual vibrating wire sensors per
load cell. The Sensor Index control (shown open in Figure 31) allows reading the
individual sensors in an instrument as well as an average of all sensors.

In addition to the controls described in Sections 3.2.1 and 3.2.2, Menu Options (Figure 32) and
View Options (Figure 33) allow functionality such as storing, saving and viewing data. In “Raw
Readings” mode, the only Menu Option enabled is “Close GK-405” while valid View Option
choices are “Sensor Selection Screen” (described further in Section 3.3) and “Landscape Mode”.
“Landscape Mode” and its converse, “Portrait Mode”, allow the orientation of the screen to be
changed.
