SonTek RS5 User Manual (August 2020) 92
Any Edge settings from the Smart Page (described in Section 7.6), and any
modifications to these settings can be made here. The distance to bank can be either
measured or estimated. Click
OK
to begin the Start Edge data collection.
The Edge data collection tab will appear, as shown in Figure 73. Keep the RS5 as
stationary as possible during the edge data collection. It is recommended that the user
collect at least 10 good samples with at least 2 vertical cells during the edge
measurement. If the user selected to use the auto-edge feature, the RSQ software will
automatically switch to measuring the Transect after that number of samples is done.
Alternatively, when the Edge measurement is satisfactory, the user can manually
proceed to the Transect measurement.
