Preferences

By default, feedback is generated and displayed onscreen via the FixDHD tab of the Report Window, as well as outputted to a log file for auditing purposes. We highly recommend that you examine the output as it will highlight data errors as well as provide you with recommended actions.

Feedback

List feedback to log file

Select this check box to output the feedback to a nominated log file (.log). You will be required to specify the name of the log file, as well as its storage location.

Flush log file buffers after each message

Select this check box to flush the log file buffers after each message. Flushing the log file buffers will slow down the fixing process, however, it will ensure that all messages are written to the nominated log file and not lost in the event of a system failure.

List drillhole selection to log file

Select this check box to output the drillhole selection list(s) to the nominated log file.

Silent running - no feedback to Vulcan console

Select this check box if you don't want to output the feedback to the Vulcan console. Enabling this check box will improve the speed at which the fixing process is performed, however, we recommend that you only enable this preference when you are familiar with your data set.

Miscellaneous Control Functions

Number used to indicate unassigned numerical values

Enter the number that will be used to represent unassigned numerical data values in the database. The default value is -999.

Enforce precision of floating point numbers

Select this check box to enforce numerical precision on floating numbers extracted from the database. You will need to specify the number of decimal places to set the precision to.

Survey system uses inverted levels

Some survey systems have levels (RL) decreasing upwards instead of increasing upwards. Enabling this check box will allow you to use inverted levels, that is, decreasing as you ascend. If this check box is not ticked, then standard levels will be used, that is, increasing as you ascend.
