Operating modes 39
Field Length (Auto, 5 m, 10 m ..., 50 m)
Number of measured values per scan line. If you select “Auto” the
number of impulses can be adapted to the current length of your first
scan line. During the first line the device will read values continuously
without stopping. As soon as you want to finish your first line, you
have to depress either the multi-function control knob or the start/stop
button of the telescopic rod assembly to stop the measuring process of
the current line. The device will store the number of impulses and use
it for all further scan lines of the same scan. By selecting the value 5
m, 10 m, 20 m, …, or 50 m you can preset the distance or the number
of impulses you need in one measured line.
Impulse Mode (Automatic, Manual)
This is the mode that determines how the measurement points will be
recorded: automatically or manually. For the smooth and flat terrain,
most use the automatic mode, for rough terrain the manual mode can
be used.
•
In the automatic mode, the eXp 6000 will take the
measurements automatically as predetermined in the “Field
Length” selection.
•
In the manual mode, the eXp 6000 will record a
measurement point only by depressing the start/stop button
of the telescopic rod assembly.
The eXp 6000 uses 40 impulses per meter.
Scan Mode (Parallel, Zig-Zag)
The scan mode defines the method of scanning an area. In the parallel
mode a measurement starts always from the starting line
(recommended), whereas in the Zig-Zag mode measurements start at
the end of the line which was scanned before.
In the last scanning method (Zig-Zag) you have to take care not to
change the orientation of the antenna, which means that you are not
allowed to turn yourself and thus must walk backwards each second
line. The measuring probe must remain in the same direction for every
measured line. Rotating the probe will create an error.
Further details about the scan modes can be found in section 7.2.1
“Scan Mode” on page 73.
With connected LiveStream Sensor some additional dialogs will
appear after selecting the scan mode. Please refer to section 6.6 “Live
Scan“ on page 56 for more information concerning that probe
