Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc. StructureScan™ Mini XT
Manual
MN 70-813 Rev C 15
• Laser: Toggles the front and side guide lasers on and off.
• Sound: Sets the volume level of the Mini XT’s sound cues.
• Manual Gain: Toggles manual gain control on and off. When set to Off you are able to toggle
through seven different preset gain curves while collecting data. These are lettered A-F and are
designed to accentuate different portions of the vertical scale.
• Power Plan: Similar to a laptop PC, this option allows you to adjust the Mini XT’s power saving
features. Turning “Presentation Mode” on will prevent the Mini XT from going to sleep.
• Date/Time: Sets the system date and time. Your data files will also be tagged with a collection date
and time.
• Theme: Choose one of four UI color schemes.
• Factory Reset: Clear all user settings and return the Mini XT to the factory default. This will not
delete any saved data or change the Mini XT’s date/time.
• Linetrac: Turns on the LineTrac passive AC detector accessory and sets it to detect 50 or 60 Hz.
The LineTrac hardware is a separate purchase. Please contact your GSSI Sales Rep for details.
• UI Mode: This option sets the user interface mode. The Mini XT has three modes into which the
scan apps are grouped.
• Simple Mode: ScanEZ
• Standard Mode: Scan EZ, ScanMax, Scan3D
• Advanced Mode: ScanEZ, ScanMax, Scan3D, DualScan.
Setting up Collection Parameters
After selecting Scan Setup from the ScanMax Main menu, click the Down arrow on the handle keypad to
activate the Menu Carousel. You will see the Scan Setup screen at the right. The menu carousel will give
you the following options:
• Color Table: Choose one of seven color
palettes in which to display the data. All of
the screen images in this guide are
presented in Color Table 1 (recommended).
• Band Filter: Toggling this on will allow
the Mini XT to employ a filter which will
remove horizontal noise bands (ringing or
standing waves) from the data.
• Depth: Set your maximum depth of
investigation by choosing from a list of
depths.
• Dielectric: Choose the expected dielectric
constant of the concrete. This affects your
depth accuracy. Please see Appendix A in this guide for additional information about Dielectric
Constants.
