12 RD8000 Operation Manual
Section 4. – Using SurveyCERT™
4.2 Uploading measurements
RD8000 measurements can be transferred wirelessly
to your computer or PDA for post-survey analysis using
SurveyCERT. Transferring the log requires SurveyCERT
and a
Bluetooth
®
connection. SurveyCERT handles
the transfer to your PC or PDA and provides a charting
feature to help you analyze your results.
If your PDA features a GPS receiver, SurveyCERT will
automatically add GPS co-ordinate and timestamp
information to your measurements and update them
in real time.
Once the data is saved on your PC you can format it for
analysis in the spreadsheet or GIS application of your
choice.
For more information on uploading and manipulating
survey measurements, please refer to the SurveyCERT
operation manual freely available from
www.radiodetection.com.
4.3 Erasing measurements
The RD8000 allows you to delete all measurements.
Erasing the log will wipe the RD8000 memory and is
usually recommended when you begin a new survey.
WARNING! Erasing measurements cannot be
undone! Proceed with caution!
To erase all stored measurements:
Press the key to switch on the receiver.
Press the key to enter to menu.

The RD8000 is capable of recording survey
measurements to internal flash memory. When a
measurement is taken and saved, the RD8000 will store
the following information:
log number
current
gain
depth
signal
phase
frequency
NOTE: The survey measurement schema is detailed
in the SurveyCERT Operation Manual, available for
download from www.radiodetection.com
When the receiver is paired to a GPS compatible PDA,
SurveyCERT will append positional and temporal
information to the data to provide it with a spatial context.
Refer to Section 4 for more information about
Bluetooth
®
pairing.
The RD8000 can store up to 1000 measurements in
memory.
4.1 Saving measurements
To save a measurement, press
key.
To achieve accurate results the receiver must be kept as
still as possible during the saving process.
The receiver will always save measurements to internal
memory. If
Bluetooth
®
is switched on, the receiver will
also attempt to send the saved measurement to a paired
PDA or PC. If your PC or PDA is out of reach, or if its
Bluetooth
®
features are disabled, the receiver will display
an error code. To avoid these errors, either switch off the
receiver’s
Bluetooth
®
module or ensure that your PC or
PDA is within range and correctly paired.
For more information about
Bluetooth
®
, please refer to
Section 5.
NOTE: A flashing reading means that the reading
is poor and should be taken again. Poor readings
may be caused by nearby conductors or sources of
electromagnetic interference.
