6 Procedures for Working with the DSX
6.1 Performing a Quick Scan
The Quick Scan allows for a brief inspection of the desired site without per-
forming a full scan. This procedure can be used as a means of guidance to
quickly validate location of a particular utility and nd optimal orientation to
position the grid. It is recommended that multiple parallel scan lines are per-
formed to achieve optimal detection results.
☞
The Quick Scan is not intended to replace the standard Grid Scan
but can be used to identify where the operator can setup and com-
plete a Grid Scan for optimum detection results. Refer to 6.3 Map-
ping Utilities without Using a Positioning System and 6.4 Mapping
Utilities Using a Positioning System for instructions on completing the
Grid Scan.
