9.7 Custom Statistics
RockLink allows you to create a user defined statistics method and to download this onto the
RockSchmidt.
Select the menu item File – Application settings” “Device – Custom statistics…” to bring up the
following window.
Define the statistics method as desired and load this setting onto the RockSchmidt by clicking on
the arrow in the center of the window.
See chapter 3.2 for selecting custom statistics on RockSchmidt.
9.8 Custom Curves
RockLink allows you to create custom curves specific to the type of rock under test or to use pre-
viously defined UCS and E-modulus correlation curves and upload them onto the RockSchmidt.
Select the menu item “Device – Custom curves….”
This will bring up the following window.
Here you can review custom curves you have
previously created, create new curves, delete
curves and download curves onto the Rock-
Schmidt.
Click on “Create new curve…” to bring up the
following window.
Type in the name for the new curve and enter the parameters and the hammer type (RockSchmidt
N) for which it is applicable.
NOTE! The curve may be exponential or a first, second or third order polynomial.
ISRM recommend the use of exponential curves for UCS and modulus of elasticity
.
If
it is modulus of elasticity curve, be sure to tick the box below the hammer type. When
using this type of curve, it is necessary to select GPa as the unit on RockSchmidt (See
It is also possible to limit the valid range for the R-reading. Values outside this range will not be
evaluated by the RockSchmidt and this will be indicated on the instrument and also in downloaded
data in RockLink.
Once you have entered the data, the curve will be displayed.
Click on “Create” to complete the action.
Uploading the curve onto the RockSchmidt
From the “Upload customer curves…” window,
Select the curve you have just created and click on “Save on RockSchmidt…”.
You can store up to 3 custom curves at a time on the RockSchmidt. Choose the location of the curve
(C1, C2, or C3) and upload. A warning window is displayed. Click on “Yes” to complete the action.
NOTE! You may create up to 200 curves which will be available on RockLink.
See chapter 3.3 for selecting the conversion curve on the RockSchmidt.
