Logging Drill Run
17. Log First Point and Override Yaw Reading, If Needed
The first logged point should be recorded when the SST transmitter (in the housing) is positioned so that
it is ½ in and ½ out of the ground, as shown in the following diagram.

Once the tool is in position, press the computer’s LOG button. If the
remote display’s Yaw number does not match the laptop’s CURR
YAW value, you may want to override the yaw on the laptop before
logging. To override the yaw, click the check box to the left of the
Override box, and then manually type in the Ref Yaw number. Verify
that all readings are stable, and then click the LOG button.

As the tool moves away from the drill, the yaw readings should
match the Ref Yaw. Based on your steering commands and the
tool’s located position (using the receiver), you can determine if
overriding the yaw is necessary or not. Be sure to wait a few
seconds for all readings to stabilize before pressing the LOG button
or overriding.
