6.2 File types

To save measurement results, you can choose a file
type organized according to your application. The
DMS Go+ offers six different file type options for you to
choose from.
You can save the readings simply as a continuous se-
ries for linear, single measurements, e.g. on individual
pipelines. The file type LINEAR is suitable for this type
of saving readings.
For measurements on surfaces, e.g. tank bottoms or
walls, it may be useful to divide the measuring area by
means of a grid, similar to the coordinate system of a
city map. In this way, the measurement locations or
measuring points can be coordinated in terms of space.
The suitable file types for this are GRID or CUSTOM
GRID.
