Data Collection

Section 8 - Data Collection

GPR data is collected along a straight line, and allows the operator to view it as a cross-section
image. The operator can locate a feature and easily back-up and mark the location of that
object on the ground. The operator can identify the alignment of subsurface features, check for
linearity and acquire accurate depth measurements.
From the main screen, press the Start button; you will see the screen shown in Figure 8-1.

8.1 Acquiring Data

The system is ready to collect data as soon as you see this screen. As the system is pushed
along a straight line, the collected GPR data scrolls onto the screen from the right and moves to
the left (Figure 8-2).
The depth scale along the side of the GPR Line image and the position scale along the top of
the image are set to Metric or US Standard units based on the setting in the Preferences menu
(Section 6.1)
If Auto-Hide Buttons is set to ON (Section 6.1), the menu at the bottom of the screen
disappears as soon as you start collecting new data, thereby maximizing the data display area.
When the user stops, backs up or presses a button on the keypad the menu reappears.
