GEA RM1 57
Description of the Gea RM1-PC program
Unlike the case of tables with manual or spontaneous potential measurements, the table
containing all the measurements and the relative geometric positions of the electrodes is
not saved, as for the automatic session case the actual geometrical positions of each
electrode will be calculated through an algorithm from the Gea RM1 system only at the
time of automatic measurement performance.
The file in owner GPD format can therefore be viewed using the Table Management
feature, described in chapter Table management , but it will not be possible to display
the table of geometric positions of the electrodes for each measurement up until the
automatic measurement will be performed. Furthermore, it will not be possible to change
the input parameters chosen by the operator at the time of creation.
Creation of a table for measures of spontaneous potential
This is a type of manual measurement, ie the operator must place the electrodes and
connect them to the Gea RM1 system for each individual measurement, after which he
will proceed with the execution of the measurement by controlling it from the system.
The creation of the Spontaneous Potential type measurement table expects the entry of
the following parameters
- Distance between the MN electrodes: defines the distance between the MN electrodes
that will be maintained for all the measurements in the table.
- Distance between two successive origins OO ': defines the displacement of the origin to
be applied to carry out the next measurement. This value will be applied for each measure
of the session, carrying out a series of measurements in which the MN electrode pair keep
their relative position unchanged and move along a line of a fixed value to each
measurement.
- Total number of measurements: it allows to construct a table with the number of rows
equal to the number of measures to be carried out.
At the end of the procedure to create the spontaneous Potential measures table, the Gea
RM1-PC program will save a file in GPD owner format containing the geometric
parameters concerning each measurement to be carried out in the hard disk folder,
editable using the Table Management feature, described in chapter Table management .
View and save the table created
After pressing the Ok button so to complete the creation of the table, the program can
behave in two different ways.
- It will display the table with a line for measurement and with the geometric positions of
the electrodes defined by the algorithms for cases of manual and Spontaneous Potential
