NOTE
Remember that data is grouped by scans, i.e. a group of radar sections
relating to a single passage of the radar trolley. Any group of radar
sections can be visualised from a given scan.
You have a list of names of saved scans available. The following
nomenclature rules apply for the scans:
1.
the scan file names have 8 characters and have the *.dt extension
before the data are processed;
2. the filename is derived as follows:
• 1
st
character L or T
depending whether the scan is
longitudinal or transversal,
• 2
nd
–3
rd
character can be chosen by the user,
• 4
th
character * = channel number used
• 5
th
–8
th
characters make up the progressive number of
the scan within the survey.
The first acquired file has the progressive number 0001, so for
example, the name LMA*0012.DT is the name of the twelfth scan,
performed in the longitudinal direction and contains unprocessed data.
Each channel has its own corresponding data file.
4.7 Operating in review mode
You can perform various operations on the acquired data. Once the acquisition has
been selected from the window shown in Fig. 4-33 (in the example shown here in
Fig. 4-33, the Acq acquisition is chosen) you can:
1. Press the button shown in Fig. 4-33 to view the
selected acquisition.
The first radar section of the selected scan will appear (Fig. 4-34).
From this section, once the Edit parameters button has been pressed,
it is then possible to modify the File prefix field and the
Longitudinal/Transversal field shown in Fig. 4-35.
You can select another scan belonging to the same acquisition directly
from the window shown in Fig. 4-34, choosing the one you want from
the text box shown in Fig. 4-36 or by pressing the and
buttons to view the next or previous scans respectively.
