The Information tab is used to specify the general information for the sample.

 

 

The following information can be specified on this tab:

 

Sample Info

 

Industry: This is used to select the whether the sample is for environmental tests, geotechnical tests, or both.

 

Media Type: This is used to select the media type for the sample. The Media Data tab will be different for each media type selected

 

Station: If the sample is associated with a station, the station will be shown. This can not be edited.

 

Task: If the sample is associated with a task, the task will be shown. This can not be edited.

 

Map Coordinates

 

If it is a local project the following are not displayed.

 

Coordinate System: This is the coordinate system specified when the project is created. It can be either a geographic or projected coordinate system. The default is the WGS 1984 geographic coordinate system used internally by the program to store location data.

 

Degrees Minutes Seconds or Decimal Degrees: If the coordinate system is geographic, this can be used to display the coordinates in either degrees, minutes, and seconds or decimal degrees.

 

Longitude: For a geographic coordinate system this is the longitude in either degrees, minutes, and seconds or decimal degrees.

 

Latitude: For a geographic coordinate system this is the latitude in either degrees, minutes, and seconds or decimal degrees.

 

Easting: For a projected coordinate system this is the x coordinate in map units.

 

Northing: For a projected coordinate system this is the y coordinate in map units.

 

Local Coordinates

 

Local X-Coordinate: This is the x coordinate in local units. If the project is georeferenced the local coordinates are calculated automatically.

 

Local Y-Coordinate: This is the y coordinate in local units.  If the project is georeferenced the local coordinates are calculated automatically

 

Associated Boring/Well

 

Boring/Well Name: If the station is associated with a boring or well, it can be linked to the station. If a boring or well has been linked to the station it can be opened in the WinLoG module by clicking on the Open button.

 

Collected

 

Collected: This should be checked if the sample has been collected.

 

Sample Date: If the sample is not continuous and has been collected, this is used to select the collection date.

 

Start Date: If the sample is continuous and has been collected, this is used to select the start date.

 

End Date: If the sample is continuous and has been collected, this is used to select the end date.

 

Specify Time: If the sample has been collected, this is used to indicate whether the time of collection should be specified.

 

Sample Time: If the time of collection is being specified and the sample is not continuous this is used to select the time.

 

End Time: If the time of collection is being specified and the sample is continuous this is used to select the time.

 

Sample Time: If the time of collection is being specified and the sample is continuous this is used to select the time.

 

Uploaded

 

Sample Uploaded: If the sample was uploaded from EDMS Field this will be checked. This can not be edited.

 

Date Uploaded: If the sample was uploaded, this displays the date it was uploaded from EDMS Field.
