6.10.1 Managing Electrode Positions

Electrode positions for a VES

Task

are handled as “MN/2 and AB/2” numbers. These

numbers will be multiplied with the minimum electrode spacing selected. The
electrode position to be measured, the active position, can be changed. It is in this way
possible to step through all the electrode positions that are pre-defined in the protocol
file.

Figure 65. The Progress view in VES mode

In VES mode a line with a “MN/2 and AB/2” electrode position will be shown on the

Progress View

(Figure 65). This is the active electrode position.

•

Changing the active electrode position from the

Progress View

―

Highlight the “MN/= x AB/= x” row in the progress list

―

Press <Left> and/or <Right>

Possible new electrode positions added in the

Electrode Positions View

(see below)

can also be set to the active electrode position in this way.
