6.2 Acquiring Data

From the Line Scan menu in Figure 6-1, there are 3 ways to start collecting data:
•
Press Start on the Display Unit
•
Press the Enter button on the Sensor Head
•
Press the Bluetooth Trigger
The screen will change to the Line Scan data acquisition screen (Figure 6-4). The system
beeps once and the red light by the star key on the Sensor Head turns on. You will see a depth
scale along the left side of the screen. The position scale will be on the top once acquisition
begins. The measurement units on these axes (Metric or US Standard) are based on the
setting in the Preferences menu
As the Sensor Head is pushed along a straight line, the GPR Line image scrolls onto the screen
from the right and moves to the left (Figure 6-5). The data will scroll as fast as you move. It is
best to go at a uniform speed because irregular motion may reduce data quality.
