Abstract
To date, Mine Design Technologies (MDT) has sold several thousand SMART
instruments worldwide. Requests are often received from customers who ask for help
with the interpretation of the data from their instruments, or to troubleshoot problems
they are having. This paper will describe the SMART instruments and how they work,
and will highlight some of the common issues faced when using SMART instruments and
how to overcome them. Case histories illustrating the interpretation of SMART
instrument data will also be presented.
