GGU-BORELOG: General processing options

This menu item allows new bore log input or existing bore logs to be edited. The following dialog box will open, for example:

One bore log B1 is already present in this example. The following actions are now possible:

• "To menu bar"
  You return to the original menu bar.

• "New"
  You will create a new bore log.

• "B 1"
  By clicking a box containing a borehole name (here: B 1 and B 2) the corresponding bore logs opens and can be edited.

After clicking on "New" or on the button of an existing bore log the following dialog box opens:

The descriptions of the two upper buttons "Base data" and "Horizons" can be found in Sections "Base data" button - "Horizons" button: Input using SEP abbreviations. The following additional actions can be started in the subsequent dialog boxes for the B1 bore log selected here:

• "Import SEP file"
  Clicking the button allows a file created using the SchichtenErfassungsProgramm (Strata Recording Program) SEP (Version 2) developed by LBEG (formerly NLfB) in Hannover, Germany to be imported. The abbreviations used in the SEP 2 program were developed for recording data from field investigations. The SEP 2 abbreviations are automatically interpreted and converted to the corresponding long text. The highest possible degree of compatibility between the GGU-STRATIG and GGU-BORELOG programs can be achieved by using the SEP 2 set of abbreviations. The SEP 2 abbreviations are described in more detail in Section “Horizons" button: Input using SEP abbreviations.

• "Export SEP file"
  The abbreviation record can be exported in the LBEG Hannover SEP 2 program format. The only requirement is that stratigraphic data was entered using the SEP 2 abbreviations. The GGU-BORELOG program includes the SEP 2 abbreviations defined for the engineering geology field. Therefore, when exporting your bore log to a SEP 2 file, select the type "Engineering geology (IG)". An input box opens for the header data required by the LBEG SEP 2 program for every bore log.

• "Delete"
  The currently displayed bore log will be deleted.

• "Duplicate"
  The currently displayed bore log will be duplicated. You will automatically find yourself in the "Base data" dialog box of the duplicated bore log.

• "Print"
  Only the current bore log (B 1 in the example) is printed. It is possible to print only a single sheet if the bore log consists of several sheets. If further adjustments of sheet size etc. are required, it is better to select the menu items for printing under the menu title "File".

• "Save (GGU-STRATIG)"
  The current bore log (B 1 in the example) can be saved as a single borehole as a ".bop" file for import into the GGU-STRATIG program.

• "Done"
  You will arrive back at the previous dialog box.
