Conquest Glossary
the act of acquiring Conquest data.
is the word to describe the process of acquiring Conquest data on a grid over an
area with the end goal being to create depth slice images.
is the term to describe collecting data along one or more lines for immediate site
assessment using cross-section images. A series of line scans helps define site
conditioning prior to a grid scan.
is the term describing a square or rectilinear set of straight lines which cover an
area. Acquiring data on a grid means acquiring Conquest data along each line
forming the grid. Acquiring data on a grid is a pre-requisite for creating depth
slice images. Often the grid is pre-marked on a grid mat which is also referred to
as a grid.
is the term used to identify the position for Conquest data acquisition. A line is
normally straight and Conquest records position from the start to the end of the
line using its odometer wheel.
is the term which describes the user selected maximum depth for the Conquest
display.
is the term to describe the Conquest data acquired between two depths - top of
depth slice and bottom of depth slice. Most often a grid scan has the scan depth
subdivided into a number of depth slices.
is the term used to describe the Conquest data in a depth slice when the data are
displayed as a computer generated image. This term will normally be shortened
to slice.
is the term used when displaying a number of contiguous depth slice images
which, when viewed together, enable the user to view a complete volume
described by the grid area and the scan depth.
term used to depth area extend of a grid (i.e. 24" x 24", 600 mm x 600 mm, 600
mm x 2400 mm, etc.).
is the term used to describe the spatial definition attained in a depth slice image
and is controlled by the line spacing is a grid. Conquest grids have normal and
high resolution options.
is the term used to characterize the speed that Conquest signals travel in the
concrete. Concrete type is automatically estimated by the Conquest system.
Concrete type is a critical parameter when creating depth slice images and esti-
mating depths of targets in concrete.
is the term used to refer to the color palette or color table used in the creation of
depth slice images or Conquest cross-section views.
