• Stationary (show in Figure 4-4) – the PDP is kept stationary, and
measurements are collected (and averaged) over a set time interval.
Stationary mode is often used as a follow-up to profile mode to investigate
areas of high/low density at a specific location. Additionally, stationary mode
is used to collect data at core locations.

Trigger Method ( only available when Collection mode = Profile ). User has the
following options (Figure 4-3):
• Odometer – data collection is controlled by the integrated odometer
connected to the left rear wheel of the cart. A data sample (or trace) is
collected every 10 cm of distance travelled.
• Free-Run – data is acquired based on a time interval. A data sample (or
trace) is collected every x seconds, where x can range in pre-set intervals
from 0.1s to 5s.
