Job Information
The job information section displays statistical information about the job. This information includes:
Date
– Date the job was started, which is retrieved from the first uploaded data point.
Data Points
– Number of data points collected.
Typical Rod Length
– Typical length of the rods being used for the job. This length is taken from
the Steering Tool Job Information dialog box, and it must be entered to enable the upload.
Depth
– Measurement units being used for depth (ft or m).
Pitch
– Measurement units being used for pitch (% or °).
Elevation
– Elevation of a survey marker near the bore (if used).
Entry
– Entry position relative to the (0, 0) coordinates on the charts (positive or negative distance
on the profile view chart and left, L, or right, R, position on the plan view chart).
This information as well as the plan reference heading and roll offset (if used) are listed on the printed file
(see
“Printing and Previewing Project Files” later in this section for more information regarding printed job
files).
The measurement units can be edited from the

Data Tables
Four types of data tables are provided under tabs in this area of the file: data points, topography, drill
plan, and confidence points. Each type of data table is described below. View help files for additional
information.
Data Points
The data points table displays a list of all the data points in the job and all associated data. The columns
in the table include:
Rod ID
– Number and status of the data point. Clicking on the profile or plan view charts will scroll
the data points table to the selected data point.
Length
– Rod length recorded at that data point.
Bore
– Calculated length of the bore up to that data point.
Pitch
– Pitch value recorded at the specified data point. Units are those displayed in the job
information field.
Roll
– Roll value in degrees recorded at the specified data point.
Heading
– Heading value in degrees recorded at the specified data point.
Hdg.Dev.
– Calculated deviation from the reference heading in degrees recorded at the specified
data point.
Dist.
– Calculated aboveground distance the SST transmitter has traveled from the drill rig up to
that data point.
