  3. Select one of the two choices as applicable: Tower Section ID or Tower Data.

  4. Scan the flange identifier.

    • Scan or enter manually the Tower Section ID which is the reference for the specific flange. This identifier is needed to generate the result report since it is used to group the results that belong to a specific flange.
