POL21X7A-F: 3 CHANNEL POLE-POLE 3D ROLL-ALONG
SURVEYING
These protocol files are intended for area cover with roll-along perpendicular to the layout
direction of the cables, using the special adapter cable for 3 channel measurement using
Terrameter SAS4000 and one unit ES464. The roll-along direction can be in either direction
depending on if a right handed or left handed coordinate system is preferred (often the
opposite direction to as what is illustrated above is preferable).Two remote electrodes are
required at a distance of preferably 10 times the maximum electrode separation or more.
These protocol files have a data cover identical to the survey presented by Dahlin et al
(2002)

.
These protocol files are provided as an example, but similar protocols for the combination
SAS4000 and ES10-64 are not recommended. According to numerical modelling studies e.g.
the pole-dipole array is preferable, as it would give better resolution, is easier in terms of field
logistics with only one remote electrode, and furthermore is less sensitive to noise.
Furthermore, a 3-cable adapter would be needed to connect three cables to the ES10-64.
