4.1 Projects
In order to streamline the data acquisition and provide a user interface optimized in
terms of user friendliness, MALA provides application specific data acquisition
schemes. In figure 10, below, the first screen (after the start-up info) is shown. The
user has the options to choose between:
2D-project:
a general, single line data acquisition scheme, the traditional way of
gathering GPR-data.
3D-Grid Project:
A data question whereby the user is guided in collection of data in
a grid, suitable for MALA-2.5D visualization and interpretation.
Object-Mapper-Project:
The MALA-proprietary model of mapping areas, marking
objects in the data and producing client reports, with just a few clicks.
Besides these three data acquisition schemes the client have some extra options in
using the GPR as a positioning and revieing previously collected data.
On the top line, the software version, a symbol showing connection status with the
antenna and a battery indicator is shown. In this case no data acquisition is possible
since no antenna is attached, indicated by a red X.
Note that whenever the option “Shut Down” is chosen, the antenna will be powered
off, if it’s attached and switched on.
