Note: Never change the IP address of the control unit without the need! The control unit IP
address changing should be applied by a qualified user only, otherwise if user set the
wrong IP address or lose it, then control unit becomes inaccessible, and its recovery faces
with a number of inconveniences. This is especially sensitive for the
Python
GPR, because
the IP address resetting to the original one involves its housing opening and seal failure
(its restoration is possible in professional environment only). An attempt to change the IP
address of the control unit may result as a non-warranty repair by the manufacturer.
Performance
for Zond-12e users – obsolete systems support s:
o
Obsolete antennas protection
– GPR antennas older than 7 years, due to the
obsolescence of internal components, lose the ability of fast and safe parameters
switching in double channel mode, which may cause damage. To avoid this, this
menu should be checked.
Performance
for Cobra GPR – connection performance choice:
o
Autodetection
– automatic detection of connection interface for communication
with Cobra GPR.
o
Ethernet connection
– for communication with Cobra Wi-Fi GPR or Cobra
CBD GPR.
o
Bluetooth connection
– for communication with Cobra Plug-In GPR.
Positioning
– data acquisition’s positioning method choice (see Section 8.
Positioning for details on p. 28).
Battery
– the GPR control unit (except the single-channel version) constantly
measures the powering voltage level. It allows to display the battery voltage level,
if user correctly selects the chemistry of the battery (lead-acid, nickel-cadmium,
nickel-metal hydride or lithium-ion).
o
Battery warnings
– enables/disables the low battery warning.
o
Autodetect
– software requests GPR type and model on connection for the
correct setting and mode applying. Additionally the built-in battery type detects.
Sounds –
sounds muting/unmuting for the data acquisition mode.
Where to save
– sounding data files storing directory choice.
When to save
– option that switches when the sounding data will be saved – during
or after the acquisition. Software asks for the filename on the
Start
button pressing
when
During acquisition is
chosen (this option is preferable to use for long
profiles, it protects unsaved data losing in cases like power loss, insufficient RAM
