Why are coordinate systems so important for GS8000?

When collecting data in Free Path mode, all digital findings and linework on the map can be directly output to CAD and GIS platforms, which rely on the data to be geo-referenced in the right coordinate system. Therefore,...

See More

What types of annotations can I use to digitize my findings with GS8000?

There are multiple types of annotations available:

  • Tags, which are categorized points input on the radargram at a certain depth
  • Points of interest, which are categorized points surveyed on the ground
  • Markers, which...
See More

How accurate are my GS8000 digital findings in the 3D space?

The 3D accuracy of the coordinates of a tag depends on 3 main factors:

  • How precisely the dielectric constant was calibrated, as this determines the translation between signal velocity to the distance travelled by the...
