• Heading: shows the probe’s live heading. This is the direction the probe is pointing when seen from above.
The heading is defined by the initial alignment.
• Inclination: the inclination of the probe with respect to gravity.
• Length: shows the distance the probe has been deployed from the collar during the active deployment.
This value is computed by multiplying the number of readings taken by the Segment Length selected.
Note that the counting of the segments is a purely manual exercise: if you mistakenly forget to take a reading
or take multiple readings at any stage of the deployment, then the Length will be incorrect.
The Length is only visible when the first reading of a deployment has been taken.
• Segments: the total number of readings taken, irrespective of the Segment Length set for each reading.
The Segments are only visible when the first reading of a deployment has been taken.
Whenever the Bluetooth connection is lost, the live Heading and Inclination display disappears.
15.6 Logging
With the gyro aligned, the Boretrak2 probe automatically starts logging data.
While there is a live Bluetooth connection, data is ‘silently’ downloaded from the probe to the tablet, approximately
every thirty seconds.
When the Bluetooth connection is not live, the probe stores all logged data internally. When the Bluetooth link is
then re-established, the probe downloads all stored data to your tablet. If the Bluetooth link has been down for a
long period of time, there may be a substantial amount of data to download. In this case you may see a
Downloading data message. Thereafter, while the Bluetooth connection is live the regular short downloads will
continue.
15.7 Deployment controls
When the Boretrak2 probe is deployed by the amount selected in the Segment length drop down list, tap Take
Reading to take the first reading along the hole.
After the first reading the Final Reading and Undo Last buttons are active.
