Procedure for
mapping utilities
with GPS
If a GPS antenna is available, follow these steps to create a georeferenced map of the
detected utilities.
If available, mount the spray support.
Mount the GPS support on the DS2000 and attach the pole with the GPS
antenna.
Ensure that the laptop/tablet is connected to the control unit and to the
antenna.
1. Press the power button to turn on the control unit of the DS2000.
2. Turn on the laptop/tablet and start the Ouverture.
3. Select Settings>Survey Settings>Positioning Settings to connect and
configure the GPS. (Refer to "4.6.1 Survey Settings").
4. Click the New Project button.
The software starts calibrating the radar. As soon as the radar calibration is
complete, the Acquisition screen is displayed.
5. Check the radar, GPS and battery status. (Refer to " System Status" within
"4.3.1 The Acquisition Screen").
6. If available, load a map from a saved cartographic file or from the internet.
(Refer to " List of maps within the Layers section" within "4.3.1 The Acquisi-
tion Screen").
7. Select the scan direction depending on whether the DS2000 is being pushed
or pulled. (Refer to " Acquisition Commands" within "4.3.1 The Acquisition
Screen").
Position the DS2000 at the starting point of the line to be scanned.
8. Start the acquisition with the respective acquisition command. (Refer to "
Acquisition Commands" within "4.3.1 The Acquisition Screen").
Start moving the DS2000 along the scan line.
9. When a target is detected, stop and move the DS2000 back until the vertical
yellow line of the radargram is on top of the target.
10. Insert a marker and estimate the correct depth. (Refer to "4.3.5 Placing a
Target").
11. If the spray support is mounted, mark the target on the ground using the spray
paint. (Refer to " Target Commands" within "4.3.1 The Acquisition Screen").
12. When reaching the end of the scan line, stop the acquisition with the respec-
tive acquisition command. (Refer to " Acquisition Commands" within "4.3.1
The Acquisition Screen").
13. Position the DS2000 at the starting point of the next line to be scanned.
Repeat the steps 8 to 12 until the jobsite is covered.
14. Before returning to the main menu, save a report of the survey with the
Survey Report dialogue. (Refer to "4.3.6 Generating a Survey Report").
If necessary, you can review the acquired scan data. (Refer to "4.4 Review of
Scan Data").
If necessary, you can export the scan data to be edited in AutoCad. (Refer to
"4.5 Export of Scan Data").
