a. Enter the Project Name, Site Location, Site Description, Operator, Survey Mode,

Notes, Service Provider, and Equipment Model. The Date Recorded and Time

Recorded fields will be updated automatically.

b. Map Frame Parameters Select the distance Units (feet or meters). The Latitude,

Longitude, and Elevation parameters will be updated automatically once the

survey begins using the GPS sensor in the sensor unit. The Magnetic

Declination and Map System fields are not used with the Pavement Scanner.

c. Local Frame Parameters Select the distance Units (feet or meters). Enter the

bearing of the first survey line in the Line 1 Azimuth field. The software will use

this value to correctly orient images on maps that are exported as KMZ or HTML

files.

9. Move the scanner to the start position of the first line. Press the Next line or Previous

line buttons until the proper line number is displayed at the top of the screen.

Each time that one of these buttons is pressed, the system runs through a line

initialization sequence which tasks a few seconds. These actions can also be

accomplished by pressing the rocker switch on the radar unit left or right momentarily.

When the user hears an audible beep from the tablet, the initialization sequence has

completed. Therefore, users should wait until the audible beep is heard before another

line request.

10. Select File, New, and then choose a location and name for the database file. When

ready to begin the survey, press the Record data button . The button should appear

activated to indicate that data are being recorded. This action can also be accomplished

by pressing the rocker switch on the radar unit up momentarily. Move the cart along the

survey line to conduct the survey.

11. Users can place markers in the data file when the line traverses a point of interest

(usually an obvious surface feature). While recording data, a marked fiducial can be

placed in the datafile by pressing the icon.

12. When the cart has traversed the entire survey line, press the Record data button to

turn off recording. The button should appear inactivated. This action can also be

accomplished by pressing the rocker switch on the radar unit down momentarily. Place

the cart at the beginning of the next line. Make sure that the cart is precisely at the

beginning of the line, otherwise there will be registration errors that appear on the map

output. Press the Next line or Previous line buttons until the proper line number

is displayed at the top of the screen. Finally, press the Record data button . The

button should appear activated to indicate that data are being recorded. Move the cart

along the survey line to conduct the survey.

13. Repeat steps 9 through 12 as necessary to cover all of the lines in the survey grid.

When the cart has traversed the final survey line, press the Record data button to

turn off recording. The button should appear inactivated. This action can also be

accomplished by pressing the rocker switch on the radar unit down momentarily. If no

further surveys are to be conducted, power down the sensor and odometer.

Disassemble the survey cart and return all components to the shipping case.
