Utilizing Cover Map Function
The James® Instruments Rebarscope® has incorporated a user
friendly cover map to further assist in field analysis. The cover map
mode allows the user to mark the cover and location of a rebar on a
grid. The grid lines are numerically numbered with the Y axis
starting at 1 from left to right. The X axis is also numerically
numbered with number 1 starting at the top of the grid.
The Three symbols below have been selected to allow the user to
distinguish the status of the current reading. A full shaded box
represents that the cover is less than the selected S min. The S min
is the selected minimum cover you have told the Rebarscope® to
detect. A box with 3 thick shaded lines means that the cover is
within range of the selected S min. A box with 3 thin inner lines
means that the Rebarscope® has not detected a bar/tube.
