file.
File Information Screen
Collect Mode:
Select the collection mode.
•
Distance Mode – collects measurements at specified distance intervals as the sensors are moved.
The distance intervals are determined by the collect option selected in System Settings (see
section 2.3).
•
Time Mode - collects a continuous file at a rate of 60 measurements per second. This mode is
often used when making a static (non-moving) measurement at a specific location.
•
Core Mode - starts data collection of a 4 ft (1.2 m) file using a survey wheel. Position the sensor
about 2 ft (0.6 m) from the core location, press start, then move the sensor over the core. When
the sensor is over the core location, press the
Add Mark button to indicate the exact location of
the core in the data file.
Starting Station Number:
This is that starting station number of the file. If stationing is disabled
(accessed by Project Info button), this entry will not appear. When the Auto Start Distance Project option
is selected (accessed by Project Info button), this value is automatically specified based on the ending
distance of the previously-collected file.
Starting Station Distance (ft/m):
This is shown when stationing is being used. It’s a value ranging
from 0-99.9. When the Auto Start Distance Project option is selected (accessed by Project Info button),
this value is automatically specified based on the ending distance of the previously-collected file.
Starting Distance (ft/m):
This value, shown when stationing is not being used, is the distance used as
the starting distance in the output file containing dielectrics and % voids. When the Auto Start Distance
Project option is selected (accessed by
Project Info button), this value is automatically specified based on
the ending distance of the previously-collected file.
