7 Auto Gain Feature
At times, while collecting data, the screen may be over or under gained. To correct this, backup
the Mini HR and press Ï Auto Gain. This will correct the gain without changing the dielectric.
Continue forward to collect data with the new gain setting.
8 Save Image `
To save an image of the data that was collected, backup the Mini HR and press Ð Save Image.
The file will save as a Bitmap file.
Over Gained
9 Other Options
• While collecting data (with no backup cursor on the screen), press and HOLD Ï (New File) to save your
current file. If you have configured Save Prompt On, you will be prompted to confirm the save. Press Ï to
save, Ð to not save the data. If you have configured Save Prompt Off, it will save automatically.
• Press Í to place a user mark in your data.
• Press Î to exit. If you have configured Save Prompt On, you will be prompted to confirm the save. Press Ï
to save, Ð to not save the data. If you have configured Save Prompt Off, it will save automatically.
Helpful Hint: Make a sketch map of your survey area with immovable objects as reference points. Sketch in your survey
files, note the start and stop points, direction of travel, and file name on the map. This will make it much easier to relocate
your targets after the survey.
Helpful Hint: The top of a target is generally the middle of the first positive peak for metal targets (rebar, tensioned cable,
wires in PVC, conduit). If you are working in a grayscale color table, the positives are white. If the utility is air or gas
filled (empty PVC, voids) the top of the target is the middle of the first negative peak (black). Please refer to Appendix C
for examples of the different types of data.
