Line Scan window
The Line Scan window displays the name of the line and controls data acquisition. To change
the name of the line, click in the field below Line name and type your preferred line name. If you
pick a name that already exists, it will confirm if you want to overwrite an existing line. To begin
data collection, press Start. The data will be saved in the project specified in the top bar.
To collect data without saving it, press Start No Save.
After pressing Start, the line number automatically increments to the next available line number.
If the Trigger is set to Manual, the Line Scan window will now have a Trigger button (Figure
4-35). Press this button to fire the GPR and collect data each time the system is moved one
step size.
Once a line is started the Stop button will now appear in this window. Press Stop to end data
collection. The line name will remain the same, but will automatically increment the last digit (or
add a ‘1’ if there wasn’t any prior).
