To set the acquisition date

The acquisition date must be defined to allow surface change to establish the relative age of the surfaces being analysed.

1. On the Labs ribbon tab navigate to the Obsoleted group and select Set Acquisition Date.

The acquisition date can be set by:

• Associating the object with the Scan data from which the object was created from (which has an associated acquisition date) or by,
• setting a date manually.

2. To associate with source scan data, drag and drop the scan into the Scan field.

   

3. Drag and drop the surface to have the age set into the Object field by holding down the middle mouse button.

4. Click OK or Apply.

5. To set the date manually, click on the Date radio button.

   

6. Set the date from the drop-down calendar.

   

7. Click OK or Apply.

   The report window will display a confirmation of the acquisition set date.
