6.2 File types
To save measurement results, you can choose a file
type organized according to your application. The
DMS Go+ offers six different file type options for you to
choose from.
You can save the readings simply as a continuous se-
ries for linear, single measurements, e.g. on individual
pipelines. The file type
LINEAR is suitable for this type
of saving readings.
For measurements on surfaces, e.g. tank bottoms or
walls, it may be useful to divide the measuring area by
means of a grid, similar to the coordinate system of a
city map. In this way, the measurement locations or
measuring points can be coordinated in terms of space.
The suitable file types for this are
GRID or CUSTOM
GRID .
Note
Please look up detailed information about
the file types in Chapter 10.3

File type LINEAR
The measurement results are organized in linear mode.
In this mode, the measurement locations are consecu-
tively numbered with exactly one measuring point being
assigned to each measurement location. The number of
measuring points is determined during file creation.
Typical application: Measurements on tanks.
