Figure 14:37. Station Editing Dialog
A pop-up editing dialog will appear when the Edit button is pressed, shown in Figure
14:37 . Within this dialog, the following items can be edited:
•
GPS Latitude – GPS latitude if known from external source
•
GPS Longitude – GPS longitude if known from external source
•
Station Type – Change station type (LeftBank, RightBank, IslandEdge,
OpenWater, Ice). Please note: when changing station types, there are some
station type combinations that will result in an error and the software will be
unable to compute discharge. For example, inputting two Left Bank station types
for the section will result in an error. Please refer to your discharge measurement
method guide for specific rules regarding what station types are valid for your
measurement.
•
Velocity Method (enter Manual Velocity or None) – the option exists to enter a
manual velocity if it is known at the station and not measured by the ADV. To
enter a manual velocity, click the
Change button and select the “Enter Velocity”
option, and hit Accept . A new input box will appear in the main dialog to enter a
manual velocity value. To select None for the Velocity Method, select the “None”
option, and hit Accept .
•
Location – Change the location at which the station was taken. Please note: if
location does not satisfy the Maximum Spacing Change criteria set in the
Settings Pane, a warning will appear.
•
Depth – Change the water depth at the station. Please note: if the depth does not
satisfy the Maximum Depth Change criteria set in the Settings Pane, a warning
will appear.
•
Correction Factor – Change the correction factor applied to the velocity value.
The correction factor is a fraction ranging from [-1:1].
•
Comment – Change or add a comment associated with station
•
Remove Measurement – Removing a station removes it from being used in the
discharge calculation. Please note: some rules apply to what types of stations
can be removed, and are specific to the velocity method used. For example, if the
original measurement were a 0.2/0.8 measurement, removing the 0.2
measurement will result in an automatic removal of the 0.8 measurement. If a
0.2/0.6/0.8 measurement is taken, removing the 0.6 measurement will result in
removing the 0.6 measurement only, as a 0.2/0.8 is still a valid measurement
type. However, for this 0.2/0.6/0.8 measurement, if the 0.2 measurement is
