APPENDIX J: VERSION 7.0 ADDITIONS
Version 7 changes provide additional data values (including “line” information for compatibility
with Geosoft , Encom and other similar earth science software packages) and output flexibility.
This section should be read in combination with Section 6.2.2 which describes data transfer.
J1. DATA VALUES
New data values available for the first time include line numbers (preceding data blocks), elevation,
satellites (number of), picket-x and picket-y. Following is a definition of each new value:
•
Line numbers – standard numbers (ex. line 100) that can be added to the front of data
records. This enables both easier direct import into software packages and easier manual
manipulation of files as it is easier to detect where different blocks of data start and end.
•
Elevation – elevation (height above sea level) values derived from GPS.
•
Satellites – number of satellites visible (for GPS or DGPS corrections) for each reading.
This value can give a measure of survey positioning quality.
•
Picket-x – an “X” positioning value that is assigned to a specific reading location. This
value can be used for geo-referencing maps to specific pickets or in re-establishing positions
on the ground for drilling or other follow up.
•
Picket-y – a “Y” positioning value that is assigned to a specific reading location. This value
can be used for geo-referencing maps to specific pickets or in re-establishing positions on
the ground for drilling or other follow up.
J2. PROGRAMMABLE OUTPUT
Now when you use the Send function (1-Send in the Main menu) to transfer data from the
magnetometer console to a computer, you see two options – Default and Custom.
Default values change according to the survey mode (ex. Base, Mobile, Grade, Walkmag,
Walkgrad). For example, if you are working with a Walkgrad with GPS, selecting Default sends
values in the following order:
•
X (UTM, Lat/Long, X, Line)
•
Y (UTM, Lat/Long, Y, Station)
•
Elevation (m)
•
Mag in nT
•
Grad in nT/m
•
Signal Quality (sq)
