Step 3 – Data Collection
1
To begin data collection, press the green Start button one time. The SIR 4000 will instantly begin
collecting scans at the rate specified during setup. Scans will fill the screen from left to right.
2
If adding user marks during collection to correct distance in RADAN, press the Mark button at the
appropriate interval.
•
For example, if collecting single lines to build a 3D grid in RADAN, add a user mark when the
antenna crosses the baselines to indicate the beginning and end of each line.
3
At the end of your profile, press the red Stop button one time or press and hold the green Start button.
This halts the collection of the current data file; you now won’t be able to scroll across the profile or
perform any of the functions on the command bar.
•
If AutoSave is set to On the file will automatically be saved and a new file will immediately
begin using the same collection parameters as the previous file.
•
If AutoSave is set to Off a system prompt will pop up giving you the option to save or discard the
file. Choose to save or discard using the Control knob or the Directional Keys.
4
To return to the Collect Setup screen if AutoSave is set to On, push and hold down the red Stop
button for two seconds. The current file will automatically be saved and you will return to the Collect
Setup screen. If AutoSave is set to Off, press the red Stop button one time. A system prompt will pop
up giving you the option to save or discard the current file. Once an option has been selected push
and hold down the red Stop button for two seconds and you will return to the Collect Setup screen.
3.4: Setting Up for Point Mode Data Collection
The third data collection mode on the SIR 4000 is for Point mode data collection. This mode is most
useful for deep geophysical investigations or data collection over difficult, broken terrain.
Point mode is for recording individual scans over an area. These scans are combined to produce a profile
similar to the other collection modes. The scan spacing (horizontal resolution) of Point-based data profiles
is a function of how far apart you set your collection points.
Step 1 – Introduction Screen
Press the green power button and wait for the SIR 4000 Introduction Screen to appear.
Expert Mode:
Select Expert Mode from the rotating list at the top of the Introduction Screen.
General Settings:
Once the Introduction Screen loads verify the appropriate Language, Units of
Measure, and Theme. These options are available in the Toolbar at the bottom of the screen.
Antenna:
If not using an antenna with “Smart ID” choose an antenna frequency from the list of available
frequencies.
GPS:
Configure the GPS. Refer to Chapter 7: Using a GPS with your SIR 4000 for instructions on how to
configure the GPS.
New Project:
Select New Project and enter in a new Project Name. This will be the name of the folder
where all of your files will be stored and the default name of the files as well. Once you provide a name
and press Apply you will automatically leave the Introduction Screen and enter the Collect Setup Screen.
