User's Manual

Smart Systems User’s Manual Version 1.1
56
Before the data acquisition on a grid begins, the user must define the size of the area to
be surveyed, the direction of the survey lines and line spacing. The details of the grid
survey are specified in the Grid Setup menu option (see Section 6.3.4).
6.1.3 Setup
There are many background setup parameters related to the Noggin Smart Systems
operation for line and grid surveys that can be edited. This menu allows the user to
display and change various settings for different aspects of the Smart system (see
Section 6.3). The user can also reset all the parameters to the factory default settings.
6.1.4 File Management
The file management option allows Line and Grid data to be downloaded from the DVL
to an external computer via the parallel XFER cable (see Section 6.4.1). This option can
also be used to delete data from the DVL.
6.1.5 Run without Saving Data
This option allows the user to go straight into data acquisition. This feature is to allow a
“quick look” at the data in the area. The data collected when in this mode are NOT saved
and cannot be reviewed later or exported. Data that scrolls off the edge of the screen is
gone and cannot be reviewed.
If a GPS receiver is attached to the DVL, GPS information can be logged to a file even
when the Noggin
plus
data are not being saved (see Section 6.3.5).
6.1.6 Utilities
This menu has utility programs to change the Date and Time on the DVL (see Section
6.5.1) calibrate the odometer (see Section 6.5.2) and use an external PC to transfer
upgraded software to the DVL (see Section 6.5.3).
6.1.7 Return
This button will return the user to main menu. See Section 3.
