IDS Ingegneria Dei Sistemi S.p.A. IBIS-S v. 1.0 - User Manual N doc: MN/2009/071 - Rev. 1.1 6. USEFUL TIPS 6.1 Installation The successful performance of a field measurement campaign starts with the initial inspection survey. The scope of this survey is the evaluation of the following aspects: • Identification of a suitable installation point for the IBIS-S in terms of scenario visibility and stability of the point the equipment will sit on.
IDS Ingegneria Dei Sistemi S.p.A. IBIS-S v. 1.0 - User Manual N doc: MN/2009/071 - Rev. 1.1 To avoid making projection errors of the displacement data and when possible, we recommend positioning the sensor so that the displacement direction of the interested object occurs along the line that joins the point to the sensor. If this is not possible, in order to minimise projection errors, an accurate georeferencing of the sensor must be performed with respect to the scenario/structure of interest..
