You are now back in the menu discussed above,
but with the name of the selected protocol file
written in position 1. In order to add one more file,
select <Add> and go through the previous steps.
In case you select incompatible protocols (e.g.
WENNER_L together with SQUARE2A a
warning will be given. A maximum of eight files
can be specified. When ready, select OK or simply
press
.
A typical selection for one channel measurement
is WENNER_L and WENNER_S, which is
optimised for use together with the standard
ABEM LUND cable, article no. 33 0019 25 or 33
0019 26. For four channel measurements the
combination GRAD4L8 and GRAD4S8 is
recommended.

The next menu is one out of a series of five
menus. You can move between these five
submenus with the
knob. you have the option
to specify measuring parameters. If you are
satisfied, just press
, otherwise select new
values. By pressing
you can move between
four submenus. This is only of relevance if you
need to change settings, e.g. number of stackings,
error limit etc. A selection of a high current (200,
500
or
1000
mA)
and
Mode=Auto
is
recommended. The instrument will automatically
step down to a lower current if it is impossible to
transmit the selected current.

In the second submenu you can specify the
number of stacks. If the standard deviation during
the measuring cycles passes below the error limit,
the stacking is stopped. The norm can be either
Median or Average, corresponding to the L1 and
L2 metrics respectively. Finally, you can decide to
show the apparent resistivity instead of the
resistance.
The data buffer size is the number of readings
taken before saving to the disk. This value is a
trade-off between speed and security.
