Smart Systems User’s Manual Version 1.1

Odometer calibration values for the Smart Cart odometer should be around 4000.

Odometer calibration values for the Smart Handle odometer should be around 1500.

Odometer calibration values for the Vehicle odometer vary but may be around 50.

Cart Direction

This setting determines whether data are collected as the Smart System is pushed

forward or pulled in reverse. The back up arrow (see Section 5.4.1) will work in the

direction opposite to this setting. The available options are:

1) Forward (push the cart) (default)

2) Reverse (pull the cart)

Odometer Active

This setting determines whether the odometer is used to collect data. If no, then the

system runs continuously (see Section 5.4.2).

1) Yes (use the odometer) (default)

2) No (operate continuously)

If the user selects to turn the odometer off, another menu screen appears and the user is

then prompted to select the number of stacks for the system to run at. Increasing the

number of stacks has the effect of slowing down the data acquisition speed. Decreasing

the number of stacks has the effect of speeding up the data acquisition speed.

The number of stacks should be set to a value that, when combined with speed the

Noggin is moving at, provides an appropriate station interval. This may take a little

experimenting to determine the optimal values for stacks and Noggin speed.

Label Size

This setting determines the size of the position labels across the top of the data image

and the depth labels beside the horizontal depth lines. The sizes available are:

1) Small

2) Medium (default)

3) Large

4) Extra Large
