displayed in time (nanoseconds). If time is selected the “depth” lines (Section 5.2.2) are

actually time lines.

Odometer Markers

This setting determines whether a vertical dashed line is put on the data image each

time a position label is written to the screen. The available options are:

1) Place a fid at each label

2) No fids at position labels (default)

Odometer Calibration

The odometer should be calibrated periodically to ensure accuracy.

Noggin Smart Systems can take input from several different odometers.

It is very important that the user selects and calibrates the odometer appropriate

for their Smart System.

When Odometer Calibration is selected from the Setup menu, the user is prompted to

select the odometer that is being used with the Smart System.

If a Smart Cart System is being used, select one of the two Smart Cart odometers

(usually #1).

If a Smart Handle system is being used, select one of the two Smart Handle odometers

(usually #1).

If the system is being towed behind a vehicle and using the transmission odometer to

trigger the system, select one of the two Vehicle odometers (usually #1).

The odometers labelled Other are to be used in future configurations.

Once an odometer is selected, the user is prompted to either 1) manually enter the

odometer calibration factor or 2) to actually calibrate the odometer over a known

distance. To achieve the highest accuracy, it is recommended that the user choose

option number 2 - Odometer Calibration.

When Odometer Calibration is selected, the user is prompted to select the length of the

line to calibrate on. There are 8 different choices in metres and 8 choices in feet. To

toggle the units between metres and feet, press the B button. Pressing the A button on

this screen gives the additional option to select a user defined value. The user-defined

value can range from 0.01 to 5000 metres or 0.01 to 26400 feet.

When the calibration distance has been selected follow the directions on the screen:

1) Set cart at zero and press A

2) Move the cart the selected distance and press B

3) Press A to exit.
