Environmental CMD Explorer

The CMD represents a large family of contactless geophysical instruments for fast assessment of ground conductivity and inphase (susceptibility). Single or multi depth probes designed for 0.5 - 6.7 m depth range allow single or multi layer mapping in traditional or GPS modes including vehicle applications.

two manual and two continuous measuring modes with GPS or length mark positioning minimum need of settings and calibration checking high resistance against electromagnetic noise lightweight and low power consumption good visibility of the graphic display under all conditions large memory capacity easy data transfer to PC using USB cable connection or USB memory stick compatibility with inversion and mapping SW (IX1D, Res2DInv/Res3DInv, Surfer)

Applications:

Geological and civil engineering survey, agriculture and forestry, environmental monitoring, groundwater protection, raw material prospecting, archaeology, metal objects and utilities network detection.

Additional Technical Information

Control Unit:

• Attachable CMD control unit works with all types of probes.
• Five modes of measurements:
• Manual measurement – the user starts measurement at each point by pressing the key or by buttons. The point position is updated automatically in the preset grid or can be entered directly. Each point can be re-measured or skipped and completed with a comment.
• Continuous measurement – data are measured and saved continuously in chosen measuring period. The positions on the profile are determined by length marks with consequent recalculation of positions of individual readings.
• GPS Manual measurement – the user starts measurement at each point by pressing the key or by button. The position is measured by GPS receiver.
• GPS Continuous measurement – data are measured and saved continuously in chosen measuring period. The position is localized by GPS receiver.
• Search mode – data are measured continuously but are not saved. On-the-fly data transmission to external device (PC or other) via RS232.
• Map preview of measured area (up to 15000 positions).
• In-situ 1D inversion (two-layered).
• Integrated Bluetooth wireless technology.
• Direct support of GPS receiver. Longitude, latitude and altitude are shown and saved automatically. UTM/UPS recalculation is possible.
• Easy USB data transfer or direct saving on USB flash disk.
• Factory and user calibrations (calibrating data are stored in the probe).
