Figure 7-9: Display after the first grid line is collected
Move back to the start of the next line and repeat the process. Once all the lines are done in
one direction, it will automatically prompt you to collect lines in the other direction.
Not all lines have to be collected. If your area of interest is only 4m x 4m, set the Grid Size to
5m x 5m, but just don’t collect the outer lines.
7.3.3 Obstacles in your path
If there is an obstruction preventing you from finishing the line (such as a tree or rock), do not try
to steer the system around the obstruction, as this will throw off the positioning of the data.
When you approach the obstruction, end the line by pressing
End Line . The software will move
you to the start of next line.
You now have the option to
collect a “reverse” line from the other direction. Press the Grid Line
minus button to move to the previous line, but in the reverse direction. Alternatively, you can
also press the left or down arrow (depend
ing which axis you’re on) on the 4-way directional
keypad to move to the previous line in the reverse direction. The name of the line will now
contain an R at the end. Press
Start to collect this line and then End Line to end the line when
you hit the obstruction.
The example in Figure 7-10 shows that line Y3 was not complete, so a reverse line was added
to it.
You can also choose not to collect a reverse line right away. Once you are done all the lines in
that direction (e.g. Y lines), the software will automatically return to any incomplete lines in that
direction and give you the opportunity to collect a reverse line.
