Two measuring modes are available in the S Sense software: Continuous mode for normal drilling conditions and Interval mode for tough drilling conditions.
You can select the measuring mode in the Settings > Measurement settings view.
- In continuous mode, the measurement is continuously active and the operator records timestamps at each rod length when the coupling is clamped for uncoupling. This mode is suitable when threads uncouple easily and percussion and flushing are rarely needed during the measurement process. The continuous mode is sensitive to correct working methods.
- The interval mode is suitable for demanding ground conditions when threads get stuck and percussion is often needed for uncoupling. The interval mode maximizes accuracy in tough conditions.
