Hi can we have sample of GPR data for research purpose our project cant afford to buy GPR here in the Philippines, we're planning to rent and avail services instead thank you
Hello. I have two questions. 1. You detected parabola. How can you know is it electric, gas or water pipeline? How to interprete that? 2. Is there any software needed on separate PC for data interpretation and analysis. Thank you for great video!
Dan states in video that the electric line was detected with a cable locator. DS2000 data can be viewed / processed in Gred HD, IQMaps from IDS / Leica. It will also run through Geolitix without too much trouble.
1. There are some context clues that tell you how a line is constructed (metal versus PVC, concrete, etc), but the best way to identify a line is to follow it to a surface connection such as a manhole, fire hydrant, telecom box, etc. 2. Most people only use the onboard software and do not do backend processing for locating utilities but read the onboard software and mark lines with spray paint. If you did want to go to the next level, as Steve Davies says below, several programs can run that data if you want to computer model it. I recommend Geolitix or GPR-Insights, as those are easy to learn and have advanced capabilities for sharing projects with customers; since they are cloud-based, you can send clients a link and they can see the models directly.
there are CCP's Client or customer care packages, they are on annual basis and can be purchased separately, the software comes with the CT1000 master control unit, there is a charging system for the CT1000, and the DS2000. this allows more power for the Antenna, instead of it being everted to the CT1000, allows more scans, longer usage time and the ability to keep the units in constant use while on site.
@@kendecamp1 thanks for the question. I believe it is more complete from the hardware and mapping perspective, but the DSX is a more updated software with powerful visuals that can help new users. Hope the helps!
Hello! I have been searching for a more mobile gpr and can not seem to find anything. How could someone accurately find abandoned or orphaned natural gas lines buried 50+ years ago? Many lines run up and down steep terrain plunging out of hillsides and disappearing into adjacent hillsides. I need to be able to locate and map these old lines but I am unable to fine suitable equipment to do so. THANKS!
Might consider magnetometer. I don't have all the info, but those could work. If you reach out to our office then we can maybe offer some more guidance.
Thanks for the comment and question. We have investigated to about 8ft below surface with the high frequency antenna and 18 ft below surface. These are in ideal conditions. Lower in poor conditions.
Hello Bigman would u mind to tell me what is the best gpr for treasure hunting in Egypt there is too many lost treasures but the depth is a big problem 🥰
Treasure hunting is illegal unless performed by a permitted authority. When those authorities reach out we make recommendations based on their workflow and environment.
Hello, I live in Turkey. The underground imaging device named Mala GPR Ramak x3 is rented here. What is the difference between it and the one you produce?
@@aissachibane518 thanks for the question. My team has found that the 250 MHz antenna can go deeper than 20 ft in ideal conditions. The 700 MHz can go deeper than 7ft in ideal conditions. Hope this helps.
The lower frequency antenna can go 18ft + (6m) in ideal soil conditions. In non-ideal conditions it might only go 5-6ft (2m). We have used the system for archaeology. It is used a little less for geological applications.
Clay seems to be the current Kryptonite, but other than that, with the right antenna, you can acquire data from great depths, certain antennas have been banned, due to complications with air traffic. 1 to 5 Mhz were banned by FCSA, at least here in Canada
@@Inlinetodie Bigman Geophysical is located in Atlanta, Georgia, where the vast majority of soil is red (iron rich) clay, and it is always wet. Common sense would say is a terrible soil condition, but I don't think we have ever had a project where we were totally unable to use the DS2000 because of soil conditions. The worst site I have ever seen for one was in Chicago right on top of a powered telecommunications bundle, where signal interference only allowed us to see maybe 4.5 feet below the surface. I would say you get to at least 8' below about 95% percent of the time. For locating in the US and Canada, dual frequency GPR is probably the lowest failure rate of any pipe detection tool, followed closely by EM locators. They make an excellent compliment because they work on totally different signals, so where one fails the other often shines.
I purchased the DS2000 for the cemetery board that I am on. This is the first time I ever used this. I live in a community with an old historic cemetery so thought this would be great to make sure we are not selling plots that have been sold many years ago. If anyone has any tips for me, that would be great.
Hey, Thanks for the comment. Its a great unit! We have a larger set of tutorials at bigmangeo.com. we also offer comprehensive hands on training on the DS2000. Reach outnto us if you would like pricing.
Hello, great video - TNX!! Just wondering what is the main difference betwen the Leica DS2000 and the DSX. Are there any advatages in either one or the other?
DSX is considered more entry level and is single frequency 600 mHz. The 2 softwares are different for each system. DSX is a little more compact and is limited in area coverage to the DS2000, it was designed that way. DSX is being updated every 6 months or so and is now very comparable to the DS2000 in terms of live cursor, hyperbola fit etc and does have live 3d and auto detect capabilities. DSX uses different batteries in the main unit which are smaller lighter etc.
The DSX is a newer model that is designed to produce really excellent 3d tomography (C-scans) in the field, which is a big help when dealing with bundled utilities and complex environments where profile analysis alone doesn't cut it. Short of doing full backend analytics, its as good as you can do in the field. The DS2000 software has an optional upgrade that can be purchased that allows it to do tomography in the field as well. The biggest difference is that the DSX uses a single, excellent antenna, as opposed to a high and low-frequency antenna. It does not see quite as deep, but the midrange 600MHz antenna is fabulous for the bundled utilities you often find about 3-8 feet below surface. The DS2000 can often see 12-15 feet below surface here in Georgia (wet, red clay), the DSX is more the 8-10 foot below surface range. The DSX is much lighter and has a carry handle as well; it folds up and fits in a car easily and can even fly as check-in luggage. DS2000 is larger and heavier but incredibly tough.
@@Canihelpyouz I believe that is correct because the ds2000 is only recording the nmea output from the GPS. So if you preprogram it with the GPS software and indicate how tall the pole is, it should send a message that places the coordinate and elevation back to the ground. But ask Leica to verify.
My brand new ds2000 won't allow me to open new project and the blue light on the machine itself is blinking? Any help? I haven't been able to use this machine at all
You can ask your reseller or you should be able to go to Leica Myworld and download. If you call our offices next week, one of our service guys might be able to assist. We have ongoing service and technical support packages that could help you long term. Also we offer comprehensive training on the DS2000 if you are interested.
I think the Blue Light Blinking is a communication problem with the controller and Antennae Should rectify with the Upgrade on firmware if not, i can send you the link for the upgrade, I work for Spatial and Leica in Canada
Congratulations on the video! We use this ground-penetrating radar, and undoubtedly, it significantly streamlines our services.
Great to hear! Thanks for the comment
I'm selling those here in Canada, after decades of using other units, this is what i would suggest for future applications, Ty Dennis
Can you use it for finding gold or treasures?!!
How deep?
Where are you located in Canada. Im in Montreal
Nice will done
great insight...thanks
Thanks so much! Glad it was useful.

Awesome, is the software included within the unit or is it a separate purchase as with the Proceq GPR line?

Yes the Bigman team said it best, it will really depend on your soil conditions and then the frequency of antenna you are using.
Clay seems to be the current Kryptonite, but other than that, with the right antenna, you can acquire data from great depths, certain antennas have been banned, due to complications with air traffic. 1 to 5 Mhz were banned by FCSA, at least here in Canada

Do I have to scan the area in a precise grid to get a good result? E.g. at 50 cm intervals in both directions?
That would give the best results. But if locating pipes/utilities we have had good results with 2-3 ft spacing
Hope this helps.

How sign out the coffins ?
Whats the height of the gs18 one a standard mounting? 1.3m?
Generally users choice
So if I have it in the holder and the pole was set at 2m so long as I specify that on the cs20 logger as 2m the ds2000 tablet will allow for that?
