11.8 RESTRICTIONS
The only restrictions on setting up the channels and using this program are to make sure the E-
field channels always precede the corresponding H-field channels. In calculating Cagniard
resistivities, the program first looks for an E-field channel, and then matches it up with the first
orthogonal H-field channel that it finds when going down the channel list.
Following are some examples for connecting and defining the channels:
1. Reconnaissance Scalar CSAMT measurements on 7 separate stations:
Data displayed on LCD after acquisition:
Data stored and displayed in cache:
This example of scalar CSAMT, measures E-fields at 7 different stations, with the H-field
antenna placed near the center of the array. This type of array is normally used for
reconnaissance surveys.
The numbers 1 through 7 in the Sta/Ant field are used as station identifiers for data
processing. The Rx value is commonly used to indicate the location of the GDP. These numbers
can be any value from 0 to 99999. The number 30 on the CH 8 Hy line indicates that the
calibrates for ANT/1 Serial Number 3 are to be used. This exact number must identify the
calibrates in the Antenna Cal antenna calibrate cache.
