Picture 8. Geolux Instrument Configurator – Settings

Geolux Instrument Configurator also enables echo curve acquisition. Navigating to the Echo

Curve tab and clicking the Load echo curve button loads the current echo curve. The echo curve

plot shows both the incoming and outgoing directions with yellow and blue lines respectively.

Depending on the Direction filter selected in Settings, the echo curve which is not of interest will be

shown in grey. If desired, echo curves can be saved to a .csv file.
