dry soil, very dry soil and air. There is an associated approximate velocity (and
hyperbola shape) for each media type.

Velocity
– Allows you to use hyperbola-fitting to determine a more accurate velocity.
The options are slightly different, depending whether or not you are in backup mode.
If the backup indicator is on the screen when you press velocity, then you can only
adjust the vertical position of the horizontal scroll bar, since it is presumed you have
backed-up so that the system is right over the hyperbola in question. The scroll bar can
be moved up and down by touching the screen and dragging it, or using the up and
down keypad arrows such that it lines up with the top of the hyperbola (Figure 7-16).
Figure 7-16: Adjusting Velocity while in backup mode. Image on left shows initial hyperbola that appears, while the
one on the right has the correct hyperbola fit.
On the other hand, if you press Velocity while you are collecting data or have pressed
Stop, you will see a red hyperbola in the middle of the screen. Touch and drag the
hyperbola so it lies over a hyperbola in the data image (Figure 7-17). You can use the 4-
way keypad arrows to fine tune the position of the red hyperbola.

on the right has the correct hyperbola fit
For either scenario above, once the red hyperbola is properly positioned, you can now
use the
+ and
–
buttons on the Velocity button to widen or tighten the shape. Once the
shape is matched (right sides of Figure 7-16 and Figure 7-17), you now have the correct
velocity and the measured depths will be most accurate. Press
Apply to use this value.
