A method for operating a hand-held material investigation device includes transmitting a measurement signal into an object under investigation, and acquiring a position of the material investigation device in relation to a surface of the object under investigation in order to determine a material property of a region, concealed behind the surface, of the object under investigation in a space-resolved and/or direction-resolved manner. The method further includes displaying the material property as at least one digital display object with a physical display unit, and displaying additional measurement information with the same at least one digital display object by way of color coding of the at least one digital display object.

Method for operating a material investigation device, and material investigation device of this type

A hand tool device comprises a computation unit and at least one locating device that is configured to receive a locating signal having a circularly polarized component. The computation unit is configured to ascertain a piece of position information of a locatable object from the circularly polarized part of the locating signal.

Hand tool device having at least one locating device

The disclosure relates to a locating system, comprising at least one hand-held locating sensor, which is provided for capturing locating data related to objects to be located that are hidden under an examination surface, a position sensor, which is provided for capturing position data, which can be associated with the locating data, and an evaluating unit, which is provided for determining at least two-dimensional map information from the locating data and the position data and providing said at least two-dimensional map information. According to the disclosure, the locating system comprises at least one data source, which is provided for providing data for the purpose of a modification of the at least two-dimensional map information.

Locating system having a hand-held locating unit

An imaging locating device includes a first locating apparatus, a position sensor, and an evaluation apparatus. The first locating apparatus is configured to detect locating data in relation to objects to be located. The objects are concealed under an examination surface. The position sensor is configured to detect position data of the locating device in relation to the examination surface. The evaluation apparatus is configured to determine a first at least two-dimensional map information items by assigning the locating data of a first category from the first locating apparatus to the position data. The evaluation data is further configured to determine at least one further at least two-dimensional map information item. The at least one further at least two-dimensional map information item differs from the first at least two-dimensional map information item.

Location device and method for operating a location device

A hand tool device comprises a computing unit and at least one locating device configured to receive two orthogonal polarization directions of at least one reflected locating signal. The computing unit is configured to determine, from two received polarization directions of the reflected locating signal, an item of orientation information of a concealed, elongate object.
