7. Exported Data
For every Project exported, a single .GPZ file will be created. For example, if there are 3
Projects on a single NIC-500 and all the data is exported, there will be 3 directories, each
containing a .GPZ File. The directory structure will look as follows:
•
GPR Data
•
SPIDAR
o
Export01
▪
Project1
•
Project1.GPZ file
▪
Project2
•
Project2.GPZ file
▪
Project3
•
Project3.GPZ file
Project# may be replaced with the unique name of the Project.
Remember that data is stored on each NIC-500. In the case of multiple NIC-500s, data must be
downloaded from each NIC-500 separately (
Section 4.2).
7.1 EKKO_Project
The .GPZ files can be opened with the EKKO_Project software. EKKO_Project is powerful
software that allows you to view, edit, process and ultimately create reports from your GPR
data.
When a .GPZ file is opened in EKKO_Project, the left side of the screen will display all the
individual lines/channels that were collected. For example, if you collected data with 3 x Noggin
500 systems, there will be 3 lines of data (as in the picture below). If you had 3 pairs of
pulseEKKO 500 MHz transducers, and a NIC-500X was used to sequence the data, you could
have up to 9 lines of data (3 transmitters firing separately and all 3 receivers listening each
time).
