3.1  Surveying  

 
When  a  survey  has  been  initiated  the  main  menu  changes, 
see  figure  below.  Now  the  user  may  stop  the  survey,  save  a 
jpeg-image  of  the  current  screen  check  the  velocity  trough 
hyperbola fitting or save a GPS-marker on the current location. 
 
The  radargram  screen  is  split  in  two 

–  the  upper  part  shows 

the  high  frequency  part  of  the  data,  the  lower  the  low 
frequency part. 
 
An  important  feature  in  the  instrument  is  the  track-cursor 
pointed to by the red-arrow in the figure. This cursor will move 
with  the  system,  so  that  if  the  unit  is  moved  backwards,  this 
cursor along with a vertical line will start to move back on the 
screen. This is the primary function used when locating buried 
targets. When the unit is pushed forward again, data collection 
will start when you reach the point where you started to move 
backward, not before.
