7. A standard rule is The smaller the distance between the paths the more accurate will be your scan result 8 1 2 Regulation of the number of impulses per scanning path It is possible to select the number of impulses before starting the measurement or selecting the automatic mode Auto to adjust the number of measure points after finishing the first scanning path When the number of measure points has been configured the device will stop automatically when this number has been reached and waits for the start of the new scanning path In the automatic mode you should stop the measurement of the first scanning path by yourself by pressing the appropriate button as soon as you have reached the end of the first scanning path This effective amount of measure points will be used for all further scanning paths of this measurement Starting from the second scanning path the device now stops automatically after the assumed number of impulses has been reached OKM Ortungstechnik GmbH www okmmetaldetectors com 64 Field procedure Keep in mind the number of impulses which you have recorded per scanning path This amount Should be entered later in the software program when transferring the data to a PC to receive correctly all measured data from your measuring instrument There is no special rule for selecting the right number of impulses But there are different aspects which has to be considered These are for ex
