measurements. The operator can change the geometric positions of the electrodes if he
thinks it’s appropriate. From this window, by pressing the Save button, you will be able
to go to the save window, containing the file with the data of the new table created,
displayed and possibly modified;
- It will show/display the saving window of the file containing the data of the new table
created for the case of automatic measures.
The save window allows you to choose the directory and the name of the file in which to
save the newly created table.
The file can only be saved in the proprietary/owner GPD format, but the operator can
choose, using the Format field, whether to save the file in normal mode (reading and
writing) or in read-only mode (read only). The read-only mode allows you to create a
template that, once loaded on the Gea RM1 system, will not be used to perform
measurements and store the results as a normal session, but will act as a model from which
to copy the sessions that will be then executable. In any case, the geometric positions of
the electrodes can be modified and saved even on the templates.
Table management
The tables show informations on what will be a measurement session on the Gea RM1
system. Each row of a table relates to a measurement and shows the useful values, ie the
set of geometric positions of the electrodes and the measured electrical parameters, if
already exsisting. The table management function is therefore used to display the tables
you have just created and without measured parameters or tables containing
measurements already taken and therefore containing the measured electrical parameters.
In the event of tables for automatic measurements, if it is a table whose measurements
have not been performed, no row will be displayed, because this type of measurement the
rows of the table will be created only when the table is actually executed measure.
The tables relating to manual measurements with SEV Wenner and SEV Schlumberger
methods and for spontaneous Potential measurements can be viewed in full mode or in
simplified mode. The simplified mode uses the symmetries in the position of the
electrodes provided by the methods, reporting the distances between the electrodes with
respect to a central point. The full mode shows all the distances between the electrodes,
leaving greater freedom to the operator who wanted to modify the expected positions,
also not to maintain the symmetry expected for these methods.
The simplified view will then be offered only when the symmetries provided by the
position of the electrodes are fulfilled by the positions of the electrodes in the table,
otherwise it will not be offered.
