SURVEY CONTROL
Stability:
This is the variation allowed for stable readings. The default
value is 6 sine units, equivalent to 0.03mm or .001 inch. If your readings
take a long time to stabalise, consider using a value up to 12.
Motion:
When a reading exceeds this number the app assumes the
probe is in motion. Used for hands-free mode. If the app fails to detect
your pulls, try setting a lower number. Users who pull slowly need
a lower number and users who pull quickly need a higher number.
Normal vaulues are 80 to 100.
If there is a lot of vibration at the site, tap mode may be your only
choice, but you could try setting “motion” to a higher number and then
make your pulls quick, rather then slow. The higher number decreases
sensitivity to the ground vibration, but you must accelerate the probe
faster so that a pull can be detected.
Tap Lockout:
This tells the app how long to display the “saved” message.
During that time, the app will not accept new input. The default is 2
seconds.
Pull Lockout:
Same as above, but used for hands free mode. Lockout
is more important for hands-free mode. Experiment to find the right
lockout timing. New users may be more comfortable with a lockout of
3 seconds or more. Expert users who develop a rythm may prefer a 2
second lockout.
Exit:
Turns off the bluetooth connection and closes the app.
These settings can improve your surveys.
