Quick Start Guide StructureScan™ MiniXT Appendix C: Sample Data These examples are presented for informational use only. Conditions may be different at your site that may cause the images to look different from the data shown here. Example 1 – Concrete Block Data User Marks entered during collection to identify the ends of each block (black lines) Filled cell with rebar Voids (2) within the blocks Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc.
Quick Start Guide StructureScan™ MiniXT Example 2 – Rebar Data This is an example of rebar. Note the distance between the peaks here (as well as at the location if you marked the area) is approximately 8 inches. Also note the approximate depth, the brightness of the hyperbolas, and they tend to be at a constant depth over the short term. Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc.
Quick Start Guide StructureScan™ MiniXT Example 3 – Mesh Data This is an example of mesh. Note the distance between the peaks here (as well as at the location if you marked the area) is approximately 6 inches. Also note the approximate depth, the brightness of the hyperbolas, and mesh may be more uneven than rebar. Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc.
Quick Start Guide StructureScan™ MiniXT Example 4 – PVC This is an example of two PVC pipes. Note they tend to be dimmer than rebar. Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc.
