    Electrode connection: electrodes A, B, M and N are respectively connected to terminals A, B (∞), M and N of the mainframe.
    
    

    In this measuring device, the measuring point O is the symmetric center of electrodes. MO=ON and AO=OB. After the current measuring point is measured, the four electrodes move simultaneously along the X-axis with certain distances among them, so that the measuring point O moves to the next measuring point along the X-axis. Since the set origin of coordinates is a fixed point on the X-axis (generally the midpoint of the first MN), the device is mainly used to research the lateral variation of resistivity.

    As shown in the above figure, the electrode arrangement of composite profiling is the same as that of composite electrical sounding. The same measuring point will produce two sets of measurement data: R0_a andR0_b. After the current measuring point is measured, electrodes A, M, N and B will move along the X-axis with certain distances among them to the next measuring point, so as to obtain the lateral variation of resistivity.

  Dipole VES

  • Dipole VES

  • 

    Dipole device: The device is characterized in that current electrodes AB and measuring electrodes MN are dipoles, and there are certain distances among them. Since the four electrodes are on the same straight line, they are called axial dipoles. It is a combination of moving source profiling and sounding methods. Therefore, it’s applicable to research of resistivity variation at different depths along the profile.
    
    

    Electrodes A, B, M and N are respectively connected to terminals A, B (∞), M and N of the mainframe.
    
    

    Take a fixed point on the measuring point as the origin O. The distance between current dipoles AB and receiving dipoles MN is a. Profiling measurement is realized by keeping the relative positions of AB and MN unchanged and making A, B, M and M move simultaneously along the X-axis; sounding measurement is realized by moving AB (generally the displacement distance is a) and moving MN in new positions.

  • 

    The pole-dipole array, unlike other conventional arrangements, is an asymmetrical arrangement. The apparent resistivity anomalies obtained with this arrangement are also asymmetrical. In some places, the asymmetry of the apparent resistivity anomalies obtained will affect the inversion results. One way to eliminate this asymmetry effect is to use a reverse arrangement (Figure c) to repeat the measurements. By combining the positive and negative (Figures a and c) measurements, any impact of asymmetry on the model results will be eliminated with a pole-dipole arrangement.
    
    

    When the factor n is too large, the signal-to-noise ratio of the measured data may be too small. In order to increase the signal strength, the distance between the two measuring electrodes M and N (Figure b) can be increased.

Similar to the ERT method, clients can deploy a pair of AB electrodes and multiple sets of non-polarizable electrodes. AB transmitting electrode is connected to the AB terminal port on the monitoring host, while the non-polarizable electrodes are connected to the ERT cables takeouts. During IP survey, the host instrument emits electrical signal simultaneously and sequentially select MN electrodes in automated mode. Under sufficient amount of cabling and electrodes, the whole lateral cross-sectional profiling can be accomplished in one run, with a significant enhancement in survey efficiency. If signal emission is performed using external transmitter, clients can simply connect the AB terminal port of GD-10 host to the emission circuit in series. GD-10 will automatically monitor and detect the transmitted electrical signals, triggering and synchronizing the MN acquisition channels simultaneously.

  • 

    Ground resistance test is mainly used to check the contact conditions between the electrode and the cable and between the electrode and the geotechnical body. It is an important functional step for environmental inspection before testing data.
  • 

    VES ground resistance is divided into MN and AB ground resistances. The MN ground resistance can be directly measured after the environment is prepared, while AB ground resistance should be measured by connecting the AB line to CH1-M and CH1-N binding posts.
  • 

    2D and 3D ground resistance test methods are the same. The connection mode of single resistivity only needs to measure P1 ground resistance, while P2 ground resistance needs to be tested for double resistivity, and single IP double IP P1.
  • 

    The process of measuring ground resistance will display different statuses according to the measuring value of the ground resistance to remind user of whether the grounding condition is good or not.
    
    
    

    1. Short circuit: the value of ground resistance is less than 20Ω;
    
    
    

    2. Normal: the value of ground resistance is between 20Ω and the threshold value;
    
    
    

    3. Oversize: the value of ground resistance is between the threshold value and 20,000Ω;
    
    
    

    4. Open circuit: the value of ground resistance is over 20,000Ω.
    
    
    

    As shown, the resistance threshold value can be set in environment variables of devices management.

    It has solved the problem of long-section measurement.
    
    

    1) The finite cable completes the long section measurement;
    
    

    2) Long section measurement is completed in section;
    
    

    3) Non-repeated point measurement gives a high efficiency.
  • 

    The mainframe is placed in the middle of the measuring line. The rolling method uses the left and right interfaces of the conversion box at the same time. Place the mainframe in the middle of the measuring lines, connect the cable to be rolled to the end of the last section measuring lines after section measurement is completed, and conduct the measurement without moving the position of the mainframe. After the rolling measurement is completed, the long-section data is automatically synthesized. Take the tap system as an example, two high density cables at most can be moved at a time.
  • 

    Place the mainframe on one side of the measuring line. The rolling method as shown is method to use only one high density cable interface of the mainframe. When measuring, place the mainframe on one side of the measuring lines, connect the cable to be rolled to end of the last measuring lines after the section measurement is completed, and conduct the measurement by moving the mainframe forward to connect to one side of the section, and so on, until the rolling measurement of the whole long section is completed. After the rolling measurement is completed, the long-section data is automatically synthesized. Take the tap system as an example, two high density cables at most can be moved at a time.
  • 

    When creating a test task, the default rolling function is “No” which refers not to turn on. If a rolling test is required, one or two measuring lines can be selected to roll when creating a test task.
  • 

    If the rolling function is selected when creating a test task, a rolling surface can be added on the test data page. Determine whether to scroll one or two measuring lines at a time based on the previous settings. The rolling surface can be set before or after testing the current section.

  • Automatic iteration

    4 of 4

  • 

    If resistivity and IP testing are affected by environmental interference or grounding conditions, resulting in poor test data, we will perform single point multi-iteration measurements and synthesize the results of multiple measurements.
  • 

    On the Geomative Studio software, when a creating script, the number of iterations could be set for the data points, ranging from 1 to 255. When a script is established and set, download the script to the mainframe.
  • 

    When creating a test task on the mainframe, the measurement is performed by default by the number of iterations set in the Geomative Studio script creation. The number of iterations can be reset. As shown in the figure, the number of iterations is 5, and then all points of the test task will take iteration test for 5 times.
  • 

    When resistivity test is seriously affected by interference signal, resulting in poor data quality, the mainframe will automatically evaluate the tested data and make the following adjustment and optimization:
    

    1) Broadens the emission period. The default measurement period of 0.8s can be broadened to 1.6s or 3.2S.
    

    2) Conducts iteration test automatically until the data quality meets the conditions. The default iteration is up to 10 times.
    

    3) As shown in the figure, the maximum number of automatic iterations could be set in the device environment variable management interface. The number “0” means to turn off automatic iteration.
