7 OPERATING PROCEDURE
In common with other items of precision equipment, you may rely on the quality of
data gathered by the 350 System only if you follow the correct operating procedures
when you use it.
This section of the Manual considers the role that the 350 System plays within an
overall survey operation. The sub-sections follow a typical survey operation in
sequence: It begins with the preparation necessary before the survey, includes some
operational considerations, and ends with some suggestions for the effective use of
the quality control information.
This is an important section of the 350 Manual and contains information to help you
complete a survey operation successfully. However, you should always follow specific
advice and instructions provided by the survey planning team if these conflict with the
suggestions in this Manual.
If necessary, contact TSS for advice on operational and technical issues concerning
the 350 System. The title page of this Manual lists the contact details for TSS (Interna-
tional) Ltd. The DeepView Help system also lists the contact details of TSS offices in
Aberdeen and Houston.
