Collecting Data
139
Figure 7-5: Line Scan acquisition mode, showing collected data and axis labels. Touch the vertical scale to switch
from depth to time. DynaQ indicator is shown at the bottom above the menu options (odometer trigger only).
If Auto-Hide Buttons is set to ON, the menu at the bottom of the screen disappears as soon as
you start collecting new data, thereby maximizing the data display area. When the user stops,
backs up, touches the screen or presses a button on the keypad the menu reappears.
If the user collects data too fast for the given settings, the system may skip data traces. This
usually happens if one or more of the following conditions exist:
1. The Scan Depth (time window) is set to a deep value
2. Step size is less than the recommended value
3. Stacking is set to a high value
Where the traces skipped, there are small red bars at the bottom of the data (Figure 7-6). If the
total number of skipped traces is greater than 10% of the total number of traces, a warning
message will appear (Figure 7-7) when the line is stopped.
