3.
Turn the power ON
to the MIRA antenna box and make sure that MIRASoft is running.
4.
At start
, the LED´s 3 and 4 are showing a red steady light to indicate that the ProEx do not
have any connection with the MIRASoft. When the communication is established, these LED´s
turn down and LED 2 starts to blink. This shows that the system is ready for measurements.
5.
Make all necessary measurement settings in MIRASoft
. See Operating Manual for
MiraSoft for more information.
6.
To start a measurement:
Press the button NEW. Both LED 1 and 2 is showing a steady light,
indicating ongoing measurement.
7.
To stop a measurement:
Press the button STOP. The LED 2 is turned down and LED 1 is
starting to blink. LED 1 will blink until all data is correctly saved by MIRASoft, then it turns off,
and LED 2 is starting to blink, indicating that the system is ready for measurement again. ´
8. It is possible to set
markers
whenever wanted during measurement, just press the Marker
button. There can be a delay of up to 100 ms before the marker is set by MIRASoft.
Information about the marker is stored in the *.mrk file, as type 1. The file is saved in the
project folder.
9. If an error occurs, the LED 3 and 4 starts to blink in red, together with a beeping sound. Check
the type of error in MIRASoft and fix it before continuation. Error messages can be reset by
pressing STOP and a new measurement started when READY (LED 2) starts to blink again.
Note!
See Operating manual for MIRASoft for more information.
3.8 Others
For positioning along the measurement swaths, and to control the data collection, the MIRA system is
compatible with all MALÅ measuring wheels. On individual basis it might, however, be better to
combine the used antenna array carrier wheel with a standard MALÅ encoder unit mounted on one of
the wheels. See Fig. 3.12.
