Measuring a borehole from the bottom up

Select Start new measurement to start the measuring process.
Lower the measurement probe into the borehole. Make sure that the probe touches the bottom of the borehole.

Tip: To improve measurement accuracy, lift the measurement probe a couple of centimeters from the bottom of the borehole.
Press Begin lifting to start.
Enter the borehole length using the slider or the + and - buttons. If the current borehole inclination is known, select Yes and enter the initial angle using the slider or the + and - buttons.
Press Record to take the first measurement.

Note: Do not move the measurement probe when the measurement is being recorded. Hold the measurement probe in place until the timer and text on the display disappear.

Note: If the measurement probe is shaken during measurement, the timer is reset and an alarm is sounded. In such case the system automatically records the next measurement when the measurement probe is held still. This feature identifies and rejects bad measurement data in real-time. The system eventually accepts the measurement even if the measurement probe was shaken.

Once the measurement has been marked, the program returns to the measurement view.

Note: If the bottom of the hole is not at full meters/feet, the second timestamp is always taken at full meters/feet regardless of the measurement interval. After the second timestamp, the chosen measurement interval applies.
Example: Borehole length is 20.4 meters, and the measurement interval is set to 2 m. The first measurement is taken at 20.4 m, the second at 20.0, after which the measurement locations are 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 and 1 meter (the last measurement is always taken at 1 m).
Start lifting the measurement probe out of the borehole. Mark the distance at the preselected measurement intervals by pressing the Record button.
You can go back to the previous timestamp by pressing More... > Rewind .
Once the final measurement marking on the measurement cable has been reached, end the measurement by pressing the Finalize measurement button.

Note: The final measurement is recorded at the depth defined as nearest surface point in measurement settings.
Once the measurement has been done, the results can be saved for the desired field. Select the field by pressing the Browse... button. If the measurement has been initiated by selecting a hole in the field, the measurement is automatically saved for the selected hole. If a site or position is not indicated for the hole, it is saved without location data.
