ADAS-500 Data Collection System
Scanning
Once the interfaces are working properly, you can prepare to collect data with the DCM. For more detailed
information on scanning, refer to the section Scanning Techniques in the AMAC-500 Manual.
Check the Scan Parameters
Before scanning, be sure that the data increment and scan mode are correct. They appear under Scan Info below the
Current Thickness. If the settings are not correct, you can change them by clicking the Change... button. For more
on Scan Parameters refer to that section in this document.
Position the Crawler
Position the crawler at your scan starting point. Typically, the crawler will be inverted to scan the first course to
reach the area closest to the tank chine (Figure 8). The remaining courses will be scanned with the crawler moving
forward in the positive direction of the scan.
Set the Position in the DCM
Once you've positioned the crawler on the equipment, you must set the position in the DCM. To do this, you can
click the Set Position button or press F2. Then, enter the new position and click OK.
