acquisition equidistantly with preset spacing. You can enter trace spacing every time before data
acquisition or keep entered in dialog box value the same for all acquired data.
When using
Zond-12e Advanced
, the wheel operates as a two-way device. When the
antenna moves forward the profile on the screen is displayed from left to right, but if after a stop
the antenna moves backward, the profile will also be built backward, i.e., from the right to the
left and is shown as a white vertical marker. If the antenna moves backward along the same path,
then visually on the screen it will look like a back movement of the white vertical mark over the
profile. This function of the wheel is very useful at determining precise location of underground
utilities when upon moving backwards the white vertical mark precisely coincides with the top
of the hyperbola.
Should you like to use the global positioning system (like GPS), you are to choose the
receiver providing digital output of coordinates in format NMEA 0183 (Version 1.5 or higher).
Connection to computer is possible via COM port (including Bluetooth) or USB if it is defined
in computer as COM port after installation. In case of use of GPS there will be recorded in the
heading of each trace current latitude and longitude which are further used to calculate the length
of path passed and of current coordinate of the trace on the profile. In combined
Wheel + GPS
positioning there will be recorded in the heading of each trace current latitude and longitude but
length of path passed is calculated by wheel.
If you need to recalibrate the wheel press
Recalibrate
button and repeat described above
actions.
In
Radar/Where to save
option, you may specify a directory wherein your sounding data
files will be recorded automatically.
In principle, the software is now ready for the work with Georadar and sounding data files;
for you to be ready as well, get familiar with functions of Menu options described in the Section
below.
