• The Ground type field enables you to activate the Rough terrain option
if necessary. When this option is activated, the radar data are temporarily
saved on the selected Device during the acquisition phase. You can even
select an external Device such as a flash memory to temporarily save the
data during the acquisition phases. This option is recommended when the
ground conditions are particularly rough, and when you may find that
saving the data during the acquisition phase becomes critical due to the
high number of vibrations in the system.
• In the Measure unit field, you can choose the measurement units to be
applied to the radar map visualized in real time. The alternatives are m/cm
and foot/inch
• In the Wiggle sweep field, you can select the parameters for visualising the
acquired data in real time in Wiggle mode;
o Scale represents the signal amplification (intended as the number of
pixels into which the -10V a +10V vector scale is mapped),
o N. trace represents the “x” interval of the viewed traces (i.e. that
one sweep is viewed every “x” traces),
o Trace offset is on the other hand the representation interval
between adjoining traces (i.e. also in this case the number of pixels)
o Default Buttons saves the preset settings as the default
configuration.
• In the Swap axis field, you have the choice of modifying the vertical scale
of the radar map by setting the value in m or nsec
• In the Gain application field, you can choose to view the radar map
acquired in real time with or without gain applied
• In the Background removal field you can set the Clear_x application for
the acquired radar maps.
• In the Display enable you can activate the display mode of the radar
section during acquisition phase.
