2. Installation and Operation
The steps described in section 2.1 are an attempt to guide the user through the process
of launching the GK-604D IRA, connecting to the probe and taking a survey. If all parts
of the GK-604D are purchased as a system, Geokon makes every effort to ensure that
the system is completely set up and working before it leaves the factory. Other times,
the user may already own the hand-held PC and are setting up their hardware and
software for the very first time. The steps below attempt to cover all cases and refer the
user to the appropriate section when more information is needed.
For those users that have purchased a complete GK-604D system, a workspace with the
name of “GK604D” and a probe library called “ProbeLibrary” will have been pre-defined
and the FPC-1 unit will already be paired with the Remote Module. Note that the
workspace and probe library names can be changed at any time or new ones can be
created (see section 3.2.1). When purchasing a GK-604D system, sections 2.2 through
2.4 can possibly be skipped but a quick review is recommended.
NOTE: Always make sure that the inclinometer probe is attached to the reel before
attempting the quick start sequence below.
2.1 Initial Quick Start Sequence
The following steps are a guide to the typical operation of the GK-604D and, if
followed, should result in a successful “hole” survey being taken:
A) If the Remote Module was purchased separately from the FPC-1 unit or if a new
Bluetooth pairing is needed, see section 2.2 (Establishing Contact with the
Remote Module).
B) Launch the GK-604D IRA by tapping on “Start” from the FPC-1 main
window, tap “Programs”, then tap the GK-604D IRA icon. If the
GK-604D Inclinometer Readout Application has not been installed,
please see section 2.3 (Installing the GK-604D IRA).
C) If the window shown in Figure 18 is displayed instead of the Main Window (see
Figure 25), please refer to section 2.4, “Starting the Inclinometer Readout the
First Time”.
D) If the Inclinometer System is an analog system (probe model numbers 6100-1E
and 6100-1M) then a “probe” must be defined in the Project Explorer Probe
Library (see section 3.2 and 4.2 for more information regarding adding and
configuring a new probe). After adding a new analog probe configuration, skip to
step F.
