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.

Monostatic: standard antenna array configuration in which the transmitter and receiver are located in the same physical support. Plot points: graphic symbol that appears on the cartographic map when information is extrapolated from the radar map. Radar maps: graphs that show variations in the received radar signal (the signal intensity is reproduced in a grey scale) with respect to the scanning direction. These signals must be processed to make them comprehensible. Radar Section: the group of data relating to a specific pass performed with a particular transmitter receiver configuration. Rough data: data obtained during a field survey that has not yet been elaborated or processed. Target: a group of correlated plot points i.e. that have similar characteristics. Their position in a sequence identifies the utility to which they belong. Transversal: parallel to the vertical axis. Zero-Crossing: black-white transition that can be observed on the parabola relating to a detected target.
1.2.2 Acronyms
DAT (Digital Audio Tape): a magnetic tape used for storing data in a digital format. RIS/S: a version of the Radar for underground and Soil Investigations dedicated to utility detection. RIS/MF: a multifrequency version of the Radar for underground and soil Investigations dedicated to the search for deep and superficial utilities and soil detection.. CMB: central mouse button. LMB: left mouse button. RMB: right mouse button.

2. OVERVIEW
The GRESWIN 2 modulus, in the field is a software dedicated to viewing radar data in the field acquired using the RIS system (Radar for the Soil Investigations), developed and produced by I.D.S. Ingegneria dei Sistemi S.p.A. - Italy, Pisa. This is a module dedicated to meet the requirements of a user who must view the radar data in a punctual mode. It includes many dedicated signal processing algorithms that can be personalised, which are able to satisfy the needs of an expert user. This code can be installed just onto the RIS field radar PC.

Once the user has selected the desired file, the OPEN command should be clicked. This will open the window shown in Fig. 3-3, which contains the following information: Section Information field: this contains information about the extension of the selected radar section, and the maximum visible length of a section; In the X-min field, the user can insert the value of the minimum coordinate of the desired radar section to be loaded and viewed.

In the X-max field, the user can insert the value of the maximum coordinate of the desired radar section to be loaded and viewed. NX cells, this is the field where the operator can select the number of cells (sweep) he desires to integrate in the visualisation phase (minimum value = 1; maximum value = 8).
Once the desired parameters have been selected, by clicking the button Read Data the process of loading the radar sections is started. Alternatively, click the command Cancel.
The radar map will be presented on the screen in a rough form (*.dt) as shown in Fig. 3-4. Application of filters as described in paragraph 3.3 will permit a filtered radar map to be viewed. By moving the mouse cursor within the map, the user can view the T and L coordinates of the point, its depth and therefore the time delay, all in the fields in the bottom left of the screen (see Fig. 3-4).

Fig. 3-5 - Acquisition Data window Use of this window makes the selection phase and the opening of radar sections more efficient in that it allows more than one channel to be selected and opened simultaneously. The selection procedure consists of the following steps: 1. Click the Select Path button 2. The window shown in Fig. 3-6 appears, where the user has to select the desired mission / zone directory; once this has been selected, click OK;

3. In the Direction field, select the code for the desired scan (L, T, or All); 4. The files present in the selected zone will appear in the scrolling field shown in Fig. 3-5. By clicking on one of the desired files, buttons relating to the channels present inside the selected file will appear in the Selected Channels field. Click on the desired channels. By activating the Reset button, all the channels will be deselected; By activating the All button, all the channels will be selected.
5. Now click on the Open File command to open the radar sections. The moment a file is selected, the following information relating to the file will be viewed: Location of the file on the hard disk Date City Description Relative L and T Coordinates.

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.

USER DEFINED H/V FILTER (TD): this allows the user to set the matrix parameters of a personalised filter that can be applied both in the X and in the Y direction. The values that can be set are between +9 and 9. The Reset button allows all the set values to be cancelled, returning them to their initial positions. HORIZONTAL BANDPASS FILTER (TD): this allows the minimum and maximum frequency values to be set in order to perform filtering in the X direction. GAIN: this allows the following parameters to be set: Liner X step (m): this controls the applied step of the linear type STC filter in the X direction in metres. Smoothed X step (m): this controls the applied step of the smooth type STC filter in the X direction in metres.
BACKGROUND REMOVAL: it permits to set the minimum depth Depth min (m) and the maximum depth Depth max (m) viewable on the radar map interested.
