You can save the data you received on your mobile device and then open it again. To reopen
the saved data, select the Open file button in the main menu.
The stored data will appear in a list. Select the data you want to review.

EN 7
5- DATA GRAPHICS ANALYSIS
The functions of the bars and buttons on the right and left side of the search screen of the
3D Ground Monitoring application are listed below. In this section, the meanings and
analysis of the received data in the graphic will be explained. You should take lots of
measurements and practice with your product. The more you practice, the more accurate
measurements you can get.
The Acceptance Chart provides you with a look at the different angles. You
can make selections like right top, left top and bird’s-eye view.
It allows you to measure the depth of the measurement. You should choose
the soil type to get the measurement. The depth information gives the
average measurement depth. Depth numbers are not exact results.
It allows you to view numerical data values of the measurements. You can
examine graphically and numerically.
It allows you to review the graphic in different options of color. You can
examine with different color tones.
It helps you to save your measurements. During recording, you can record
your work by typing a name.
The bar on the right side gives you information about the soil structure.
Red color ratio; gives the ratio of metallic structures with high magnetic field.
Yellow-Orange color ratio; gives the ratio of mineral soil structure.
Green color ratio; gives the ratio of soil in normal structure.
Light blue; gives the proportion of soil that is dug-filled or has loose structure.
Blue; gives ratio of data such as gap and water.
The ratios in this bar can vary according to the soil structure, depending on the
objects with magnetic effect in the environment. These figures provide you with
an idea of your soil structure.

EN 8
Before the measurement begins, you should have information about what you are looking
for (gap, water, or metal) and the area you are scanning over. Errors that you will make in
the measurements will cause you to get different graphics. Please read carefully the
following articles to avoid making mistakes and get accurate data in your measurements;
-You should have information about the area being searched. You should take into
account the history of the area being searched, such as the structure of the soil.
-If there is any energy line in the area being searched, this will cause you to be in the
wrong regarding the data. You should search at least 50 meters away from the elements
that will affect your searches, such as power lines.
-When an unknown area is being searched, it is usually necessary to make a wide
measurement. For example; search must be conducted in 20 signals and 20 rows.
-If you are looking for a large object (grave, room and large objects); you can
increase the signal pulse spacing (such as 50 cm between each signal). If you are looking
for small objects, you should keep the signal pulse intervals more frequently (such as 20
cm, 30 cm).
-Performing your measurements in the northern and southern axis provides you
with healthier data. You should pay attention to this situation whenever possible.
-That a buried object has stayed underground for a long time means that it creates a
bigger magnetic field and can be detected more easily.
-You should check by doing the same search at least twice. The extra measurements
you make will help you to eliminate minerals and correct mistakes, if any.
-In measurements taken, the object or gap data should be in the middle of the
graph. If the gap data is at the edges in the graphic, you should measure it again by
centering this data.
-During the search, you should check the battery and charge status of your product.
You should search with a fully charged product. A low battery level is one of the factors
that affect your measurements.
-As you can see in the graphic below, you have to start from the beginning (1) and
finish at the end (2). You can make your searches zigzag or parallel. If you have finished a
searching line, the next one should be on its left. The device must not be rotated. The north
direction is recommended.

EN 9
The more you repeat your scan on a prospective object (control scan), the better you decide
whether or not it is a real object. Heat, other radio transmitters, solar energy, earth
minerals, loose soil, salt, water ... etc. can adversely affect measurement results. The sensor
should be held upright and not shaken. The height should be 8 to 9 cm above the ground.
The Meanings of Colors on the Graph when Standard Color is Used;
Red; Metal
Blue; Gap
Green; Soil
Orange and Yellow; Mineral.
This information changes in different color options. At first glance it can be difficult to
distinguish between metal and mineral. In some measurements, you can also get minerals
in reddish color. Rotate the graph with your finger to see it from different angles. So as to
enlarge the graph; use two fingers to enlarge the graph.
Touch the data button in the left hand bar to numerically examine the data
received.
On this screen, you can see the numeric ratios of the
received data. At least 10-15 figures should increase
between soil data and metal data. At least 10-15 figures
should be decreased in the gap data. These values vary
according to each soil structure.
Touch the Depth button on the left hand bar to view the depth information of the
received data.

EN 10
Select the appropriate option for the soil structure from the opened page. If you do not
know the soil structure, take a depth measurement at different options.
On this page you will see the depth values. These values
give the estimated depth of the search signals.
You can view the data in more detail in the Windows version of the 3D Ground Monitoring
program. For this, contact the manufacturer and obtain the Windows program.
To transfer the data on the mobile device to Windows, first connect your mobile device to
the PC via USB cable. Open the GroundMonitoring folder in the Downloads folder on your
mobile device's home directory. The data you have saved is stored in this folder.
You can copy the data to your pc and open it in Windows program.
