This Help Document has been laid out in a task-oriented fashion. The easiest
way to get information is by using the table of contents. All of the
information generally follows the following order: information on setting up and
controlling your system, information on acquiring data, and information on working
with existing data. These topics are laid out in separate “books”. To read this document in a book fashion, simply click the >> arrow button

System Setup for Users Installing Their Own Upgrades
If your system has not been setup by a trained RBD technician, ensure that you
have carefully followed the documentation that came with your upgrade for
setting up your specific system type.
IMPORTANT
Before using AugerMap to control your system and acquire data, you should have
already installed the RBD PCI board and associated drivers, and connected the
RBD147 control. Please refer to the documentation packaged with your interface
hardware, and contact RBD tech support if you are unsure of any aspect of interfacing your system.
Because AugerMap 2 is designed to be used on many different system types, you’ll need to edit the System Properties before using the software, in order to provide information on your specific
system type.
660 System Users
Always ensure that your RBD147 is turned on before starting AugerMap. The
software will automatically connect to your 660 interface upon startup
Controlling Your System
There are two types of system control provided by AugerMap, depending on your
system hardware capabilities. Click here for information on controlling your system with a manual (analog) electron
gun control. Click here form information on controlling you system with a digital gun control. In
either case, you always have control of your raster (size and magnification,
position, etc.), provided via AugerMap
Acquiring Data
Typically, the first type of data you will acquire with AugerMap will be an
SED or ABS video image. Click here for more information on acquiring these image types. Click here form information on acquiring elemental images.
