The QA/QC Process is based on international standards and well developed operational
procedures from various organizations. The process is designed around system
configuration, measurement components associated with moving boat measurements
and system operation.
The messages supplied during the measurement process are based on the following
structure:
A warning message with a red X ( ) indicates an error that affects the
measurement quality directly
A warning message with a yellow caution symbol ( ) indicates a potential error
that should be investigated
The “#” column refers to the individual sample number that produced the
associated warning
The RSQ software uses the rules outlined in Table 3.
