Important note Using a finger may still be the preferred option for projected capacitive screen technology but we understand a stylus may also be necessary like when it s cold The way you hold a capacitive stylus really impacts how it works To register a point it is like the screen is taking a sample from which to calculate the position It then snaps to the closest line on a grid If you hold a capacitive stylus at an angle it registers less area and does not calculate your true position as well For best results on a capacitive screen like the Archer2 hold the stylus as perpendicular to the screen or straight up as you can In this section you will see some tips to use the Archer2 keypad to perform some actions of the SCIP program 1 Place the core sample into the core holders see Section 7 How to use Core Holders 2 Turn the SCIP tester ON using the ON OFF switch on the front panel 3 Select the communication mode using the CABLE WIRELESS switch on the SCIP tester s front panel If Cable mode is selected connect the serial communication cable between the SCIP RS 232 connector and the Archer2 Field PDA Instrumentation GDD inc Page 9 5 Click on GDD SCIP icon in the favorites bar Title bar gt Bo Y 4k T 3 09 Dashboard Favorites mM System Info Sting Tile Bar Q 6 Select the communication mode RS 232 CABLE or BLUETOOTH WIRELESS You can move back and forth between the

15. DECAY Here are a few tips about preparing and measuring your core samples e Soak your core samples in water for a few days before testing them It is recommended to soak the samples in water in order to keep their properties as in the natural environment The best way to take measurements would be on fresh samples If it is not possible two days of soaking should be sufficient Note however that it is not necessary to leave the samples to soak The important point is to keep the same measurement conditions for all samples The values will not necessarily match with field data but the measured values of a sample compared to another one allow defining which ones are less resistive and or more chargeable You may then correlate anomalies versus results from the field e Remove the excess of water on the core sample before beginning the measuring process e Use a saturated copper sulphate solution To take a measurement the sample is fixed between electrodes by using sponges dipped in copper sulphate solution Make sure that some copper sulphate crystals are not dissolved in water to get a saturated solution e Before starting the measurement make sure that the core sample is completely dry on its surface e During the whole measuring process make sure that the work bench the core holders and the rod that fix together the core holders are completely dry e During the measuring process wait until the contact resistance becomes stable befor
