GGU-BORELOG: Data exchange with GGU

If you not only work with the GGU-BORELOG program, but also need to use the data entered in the GGU-STRATIG program for graphical visualisation of the stratigraphic logs, please note the following points:

  • Always use the SEP 2 abbreviations, because they allow you to transfer considerably more information in an abbreviated format.

  • In the supplements field, always enter the soil group, consistency and groundwater as abbreviations.

  • Always enter the samples using the abbreviation line. Use the description of the sample type, e.g. so = special sample. The symbol for special sample (filled box) is then automatically displayed in GGU-STRATIG.

  • When interpreting the abbreviations, a short text is created automatically and can be used to achieve a narrow stratigraphic log when the data are transferred to GGU-STRATIG.

  • Each abbreviation in the petrography field is allocated a code number. These code numbers control the soil type fill symbols used in the stratigraphic log visualisation to DIN 4023. A maximum of four code numbers can be allocated for horizon input. The four data boxes (code boxes) are filled in from left to right when interpreting a SEP 2 abbreviation line. The first two code boxes facilitate a complete fill of the allocated soil signatures for visualisation in GGU-STRATIG; they are therefore reserved for main soil types and soil types with large proportions of other constituents. The last two code boxes only fill half of the log with the allocated soil signatures; they should be reserved for medium to small proportions of soil types.

To prevent the code number for the following accessory soil type being written in the second code box when there is only one main soil type, a place holder (#) is entered in the abbreviation line, e.g.:
2.35// mS; #, fs2, u4// bn/ SaU2.

The place holder ‘#’ does not influence visualisation of the bore log GGU-BORELOG.

Data transfer to GGU-STRATIG can also be carried out if abbreviations are not used, i.e. the horizons are entered by hand in the text rows. A correct file is also created in this case, but it then requires post-processing in GGU-STRATIG.

The individual bore log can be saved as a GGU-STRATIG file using the button "Save (GGU-STRATIG)" in the general dialog box of the "Edit/Bore log" menu item. If all bore logs need to be transferred to GGU-STRATIG use the menu item "File/Save GGU-STRATIG file".
