Peak
Sonde signal as "seen" by the Scout. Only one peak, no nulls.
3. How the unit is held does not affect signal strength.
The user can approach from any direction and does not need to know
the lie of the pipe or wire.
4. Additional tools to identify and solve "difficult" locates include a
graphical micro map and an angle indicator to help interpret signal
characteristics.
2.4 What Is The Micro Map Advantage?
The map provides graphics that shows the signal's characteristics. It is a
bird's eye view of the signal underground, shown graphically on the screen.
It is used as a guide for tracing underground lines and can be used to better
pinpoint sondes. It can also be used to provide more information for complex
locates.
By moving the locator over the ground the Scout passes over the signal
emitted by the underground objects. This allows the user to see on the
screen, visualizations of the signal and then mark them. Conventional
locators cannot map the underground signal as their antennas cannot see
the complete shape of it.
