K2 FASTWAVE Software
The K2 software is the acquisition software designed to work with the IDS DAD FastWave control unit (single or multi-channel) and is included in the DAD package.
The K2 FastWave is able to support the acquisition of up to 8 antennas connected in chain and is able to show two Radargrams simultaneously on the screen in real time during the acquisition phase. The software comes with comprehensive tools to customize the acquisition parameters and calibrate the signal of every acquisition channel.
From the initial interface the operator can estimate the propagation velocity as well as modify many other parameters. K2 FastWave is also able to continuously monitor the status of the system, providing an alarm for every possible malfunction that can happen in the field. K2 FastWave also has a dedicated tool to help the user collect data in grid mode in order to achieve the best results from the survey, mixing longitudinal and transversal scans in the post processing.
The system can be connected to GPS and is able to record the path in real time and mark anomalies. The data is stored in a dedicated folder and is easy to access in the future post processing phase.
GRED HD Post Processing Software
The GRED HD software comes with two viewable interfaces as follows:

GRED HD 3D CAD provides highly interactive and efficient management of large quantities of data. The results can be transferred to CAD (AutoCAD or Microstation) or GIS either by using an interactive link or at the end of the work session; in the latter case, the GEOMAP module automatically generates the final cartographic output. Additional functions:

SRS Post-Processing SoftwareSafeRailSystem includes a dedicated post-processing software suite for easy and efficient interpretation of SRS data in order to extract the following characteristics of the railway track:
This software includes advanced automatic "pattern recognition" algorithms which assist the evaluation of ballast status and includes an automatic function for layer interface detection. The operator can simultaneously view up to 4 parallel radar maps and can view these sections with automatic scrolling. All radar data can be selected in a rapid and efficient way and the user can introduce and analyze drilling information. |
