1. INTRODUCTION
The GRESWIN2 code, which is the subject of this manual is a code that operates on Windows 98 platform, and it is dedicated to point viewing the radar data acquired with the RIS system (Radar for the Soil Investigations), in the various formats, developed and produced by IDS Ingegneria dei Sistemi S.p.A. - Italy, Pisa. This code is capable of viewing the radar data acquired with the GSSI system in DZT format. In general terms RIS - Radar for Soil Investigation- is a georadar system dedicated to underground studies, equipped with HW and SW instruments designed for industrial working procedures, with a high quality performance. This high performance is due to its use of a matrix of multifrequency antennas that provides a three-dimensional view of the ground and to a series of software instruments, which assist the radar data elaboration process in all its phases. The RIS system is composed of two operative Units: Acquisition Unit The task of this unit is to assist the operator in the ground exploration phase, collecting the radar data during the field survey; Elaboration Unit This unit is typically placed in the laboratory, and first treats then processes the data acquired during field investigations. The basic task of the Elaboration Unit (the subject of this manual) is to process the input radar data contained on a DAT tape (produced by the acquisition unit) and to provide a cartographic map as output containing the results obtained. The elaboration unit consists of a Personal Computer equipped with one or two video terminals for easy management of the various work procedures. The final product of the system is produced by a printer or plotter connected to the elaboration PC.

3.2.6 Move BCK Command

This instruction commands movement in the negative X direction (with respect to the dragging direction of the antenna) on the current radar map. This operation is necessary if the user wants to go back to the previous position after having given the command described in par. 3.2.5.
!
NOTE
When the Move FWD command is executed, the radar map that will be viewed in the new interval will be in the rough format, without the sequence of filters that may have been previously applied.

Max depth(m) this allows the user to set the maximum depth of the desired radar map to be viewed. T min(nsec) this allows the user to set the minimum T coordinate of the desired radar map to be viewed. T max(nsec) this allows the user to set the maximum T coordinate of the desired radar map to be viewed. X scale step (m) this modifies the subdivision of the X scale of the map being viewed.
12/ 22
Depth scale step (m) this modifies the subdivision of the Y scale of the map being viewed. Depth (m) by selecting this command the user activates the metric view mode for the vertical scale of the radar map. Delay (nsec) by selecting this command the user activates the metric view mode in nsec for the vertical scale of the radar map. Normal by selecting this command the user visualizes the radar map with the standard acquisition direction. X-Mirror by selecting this command the user visualizes the inverted radar map respect to standard acquisitions direction. Well style by activating this command the user has the possibility to rotate of 90 the radar map, putting it vertical as the standard normal direction of scans in the borehole radar surveys. Grid Color this button permits to the user to select the color from the grid to overlap to the current radar map. Visible Grid by activating this command the user activates or not the grid of subdivision to overlap the radar map.

3.5 Window Menu

This menu contains the commands for managing the graphical display of the viewed radar maps on the screen.
3.5.1 Cascade Command

This command is active on the open radar sections. When it is activated, the system overlaps the windows in a cascade, the way they appear by default. The user can enlarge or reduce the size of the single windows using the standard Windows buttons at the top right of each open window.
3.5.2 Tile Horizontal Command

This command is active on the open radar sections When it is activated, the system automatically subdivides the display into a number of windows equal to the number of selected channels, ordering them in the horizontal direction. The user can then enlarge or reduce the size of the single windows using the standard Windows buttons at the top right of each open window.
3.5.3 Tile Vertical Command

This command is active on the open radar sections When it is activated, the system automatically subdivides the display into a number of windows equal to the number of selected channels, ordering them in the vertical direction. The user can then enlarge or reduce the size of the single windows using the standard Windows buttons at the top right of each open window.
3.6 The tool bar

The GP0 toolbar (see Fig. 3-16) contains buttons relating to some main functions. These are described in the paragraphs below.
Fig. 3-16 - The tool bar
3.6.1 The Open button

When the Open button is pressed, the command described in par. 3.1.1 is performed.
3.6.2 The Save button

This button performs the command described in par. 3.1.2.
3.6.3 The Print button

Activating the Print button executes the command described in par. 3.1.6.

3.6.4 The Zoombutton

The Zoom button permits to increase of the double or to decrease of the middle the radar image visualized.
3.6.5 The z_clip + button

This button controls the positive contrast of the viewed radar section. In practice, this control acts on the upper threshold value of the acquired signals.
3.6.6 The z_clip - button

This button controls the negative contrast of the viewed radar section. In practice, this control acts on the lower threshold value of the acquired signals.
3.6.7 The threshold + button

This button controls the positive contrast of the viewed radar section. In practice, this control acts on the upper threshold value of the acquired signals.
3.6.8 The threshold - button

This button controls the negative contrast of the viewed radar section. In practice, this control acts on the lower threshold value of the acquired signals.
3.6.9 The colour_scale button

The colour button modifies the scale of colours for the selected map. Each click of the button will visualise a different scale of colours. There are six different scales available.
3.6.10 The display mode button

This command allows the user to view the radar map in one of the two ways: Real Modulus
3.6.11 The Cursor button

Pressing this button activates the command needed to insert a graphical pointer inside the selected radar map.
3.6.12 The Propagation Velocity button

This command allows the user to perform an estimate of the propagation velocity of the electromagnetic waves to obtain a correct estimate of the depth of the identified target. To perform this operation, proceed as follows: 1. Click the command with the LMB; the pointer will turn a yellow colour. 2. Click the mouse LMB on the top of the selected hyperbola.
21/ 22
Reconstruct its shape, by clicking contemporary the buttons SHIFT+ o SHIFTrespectively to increase or to decrease the propagations velocity value and at the same time to adapt the hyperbola reconstructed (in red colour) to the curvature of the real hyperbola (see Fig. 3-17).

!
NOTE
Each time a radar map is opened, the default value used is 1 x 10 8 m/sec.
