By selecting a new record the next menu
appears. For VES with pre-defined protocols
(see below) set “Layout:” to “Sounding”, and
“Method:” to “Schlumberger”. The number of
channels can be set to 1, 2, 3 or 4 (SAS4000
only). Go to this position and select with the
knob. Change the number with the
knob. The power line frequency is important
for noise reduction purposes: in countries
with 60 Hz power line frequency set this to 60
Hz. Select the <Setup Layout Ref.> to define
a reference point. Also the azimuth and
inclination of the line can be defined here.
Press the
knob (or select <Ok>) to
continue to the Acquisition Settings menu.

The Acquisition Settings menu consists of 6
pages. Use the
knob to navigate between
the five pages. In this menu, select the output
current. If Mode=Auto the program will
automatically reduce the current if it is
impossible to transmit the selected current.

On this page the stacking parameters are
defined. With the settings in the example,
there will be max 4 stackings. If the standard
deviation is below 1% after e.g. 3 stackings,
the stacking will be stopped. The norm can be
”Median” or ”Mean”. The first is more robust
to blunders. Based on the geometry, the
program can display the apparent resistivity if
the last option is set to ”Yes”, and if array
geometry parameters are available. The “Data
buffer size” is the number of readings
between each saving operation to the storage.
