Quick Start Guide; System Connection - Geometrics MetalMapper 2x2 Operation Manual

4. Quick Start Guide

Assemble the sensor cart, electronics box, and GPS/IMU as described in Chapter 3. The
electronics box will start-up upon connecting the power. Connect the field tablet computer via
the Ethernet and launch the MetalMapper 2x2 software. The software is on the desktop as
MetalMapper with a Geometrics logo icon. Launch by double clicking the icon. The software
will prompt the user to accept the EULA and confirm the Instrument Serial Number. Note that
many of the settings can only be changed by editing the application.properties file. More
information on that is given in Chapter 7.
