Eclipse and F-Series Cable Mode Main Display
The above screen shows no telemetry data being received as indicated by the empty update meter. The
roll and pitch are provided through the cable. For depth information to display, the appropriate DigiTrak
receiver must be used to locate the transmitter and take a depth reading. See the Operators Manual for
the system you are using.
Eclipse Steering Tool Transmitter (SST)
A screen such as the following will display when an Eclipse Steering Tool Transmitter is used.
Eclipse SST Main Display (Off-Line)
When using the Eclipse SST System, it is necessary to first establish the reference yaw using the SST
transmitter, a non-magnetic housing, and the remote display. This procedure is sometimes referred to as
“shooting the probe.” Shoot the probe (determine the reference yaw) by carefully aligning the SST
transmitter (in the non-mag housing) onto the bore path and pointing in the direction of drilling. The
