Description
Wi-Fi mini-reports Email a report of line, depth slice or map view data to your customers or colleagues.
Depth slicing Collect grids of data and view depth slices right in the field.
Map view Using external GPS, display a plan map view of survey path, grids, field interpretations and flags.
Field interpretations Add color-coded interpretations and field flags with the touch of a finger.
Optional GPS Integrated GPS for post-processing and export to Google Earth™, CAD drawings & GIS databases.
Multi-language English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Farsi, Russian, Arabic.
The data collection software on the DVL 500 Noggins have default settings to get to work quickly; for line surveys just set the desired depth and start collecting.
For grid collection, the GPR operator sets the grid size and line spacing. The screen prompts the user to collect each line until the grid is complete. It is easy to work around obstructions, skip lines or recollect lines if required.
Once the grid is finished (or any time after at least 3 lines have been collected), the grid data can be processed into depth slices (right in the field!).
For users involved in unusual projects, Noggins also have custom settings to collect data with extreme values:
• Depths to 200 meters (320 m in ice)
• Triggering options include Odometer, Button and Free-Run modes
• Free Run in Time or Free-Run with Speed to collect data on water, snow or ice
• Grids up to 250 x 250m in size
• Zig-zag grid collection pattern
• Step Sizes from 5 millimeters to 5 meters
Create impressive deliverables easily with EKKO_Project™ software.
After data collection is finished, transfer the data to your computer and organize, edit, process and plot your GPR data with EKKO_Project™. See your data in seconds – spend your time understanding the data, not importing and integrating ancillary information.
EKKO_Project™’s reporting capability outputs interpretations and other information into PDF, spreadsheet (csv), Google Earth™ (kmz) and CAD (dxf) files.
Mode of Operation:
The SmartCart® provides a self-contained, mobile platform for transporting the NOGGIN® and DVL for fast, efficient data acquisition over smooth to moderately rough terrain.
SmartCart® features:
- A wheel odometer to trigger data acquisition at default or user-defined intervals (step size) to provide uniform data coverage.
- A bi-directional odometer that triggers data acquisition in one direction and, in the other direction, provides a back-up arrow to easily pinpoint the location of objects found on the survey line.
- Sensors & Software’s unique DynaQ® feature automatically adjusts data acquisition rates to the survey speed; providing dynamic stacking to maximize data quality.
Options:
- GPS to provide geo-referenced coordinates linked to the data
- Brackets to quickly swap between the NOGGIN® 100, 250, 500 and 1000 sensors
Supported Sensors:
The SmartCart™ supports all NOGGIN® sensors.
Mode of Operation:
The NOGGIN® SmartTow™ configuration is designed for hand-tow surveying over smooth to rough terrain such as grassy, brush covered or rocky surfaces. But don’t worry about damaging your NOGGIN® by dragging it around on rough surfaces – all Noggins have a durable skid plate on the bottom to smoothly slide across any surface and maintain ground-coupling for maximum signal penetration.
SmartTow™ features:
- A wheel odometer to trigger data acquisition at default or user-defined intervals (step size) to provide uniform data coverage.
- A bi-directional odometer that triggers data acquisition in one direction and, in the other direction, provides a back-up arrow to easily pinpoint the location of objects found on the survey line.
- Sensors & Software’s unique DynaQ® feature automatically adjusts data acquisition rates to the survey speed; providing dynamic stacking to maximize data quality.
Options:
- GPS to provide geo-referenced coordinates linked to the data.
- Longer cables to enable the DVL to be set in a fixed position while the GPR sensor is moved.
- Batteries of different sizes and capacities depending on field time or portability requirements
- Brackets to quickly swap between the NOGGIN® 100, 250, 500 and 1000 systems.
Supported Sensors:
The SmartTow™ supports all NOGGIN® sensors.
Mode of Operation:
The SmartChariot™ provides vehicle-towed deployment of NOGGIN® 250, 500 or 1000 systems. It is ideal for surveys covering large, smooth, open areas that can be performed using a vehicle: roads, highway sections and bridges needing quick assessment, large parking lots, parking garages, and open fields such as golf courses and parks.
The SmartChariot™ attaches to a common trailer hitch on any vehicle: cars, trucks and vans, but also ATV’s (all-terrain vehicles), tractors and even bicycles and motorcycles can be used.
SmartChariot™ features:
- A wheel odometer to trigger data acquisition at default or user-defined intervals (step size) to provide uniform data coverage.
- Sensors & Software’s unique DynaQ® feature automatically adjusts data acquisition rates to the survey speed; providing dynamic stacking to maximize data quality.
- A mount for a GPS receiver (GPS optional).
- Brackets to quickly swap between the NOGGIN® 250, 500 and 1000 systems.
- The ability to deploy two Noggins simultaneously: a NOGGIN® 500 and a NOGGIN® 1000.
Options:
The following optional items are available to customize the system for your needs.
- GPS to provide geo-referenced coordinates linked to the data
- Smaller or longer-life batteries depending on the time duration of measurements or portability requirements
Supported Sensors:
The SmartChariot™ supports the NOGGIN® 250, 500 or 1000 sensors.
