GGU-BORELOG: "Horizons" button: General data input information

After selecting a bore log in the "Edit/Bore log" menu item's dialog box, the ground structure of the corresponding bore log can be entered or edited using the "Horizons" button. The following dialog box shows an example:

A stratum input is always possible via manual input of the description in the corresponding input boxes. It is much quicker to use the abbreviations in the uppermost line, the abbreviation line. By clicking the "Interpret" button after entering the abbreviations, the program automatically enters the long texts associated with the abbreviations in the corresponding lines.

The SEP 2 abbreviations according to the 'Schichten-Erfassungs-Programm SEP' (Version 2) published by the LBEG Landesamt für Bergbau, Energie und Geologie (formerly: Geological Survey of Lower Saxony NLfB) are used. If you have switched to GGU abbreviations, please switch back to the SEP abbreviations.

Due to the greater flexibility, the SEP abbreviations are recommended.

At the bottom right you will see four boxes with code numbers. The code numbers control the fill of the horizon presentation with soil type symbols according to German Standard DIN 4023. The code numbers are only relevant if the bore logs entered in GGU-BORELOG are required for subsequent graphical visualisation as soil columns in the GGU-STRATIG program.

There are a further nine buttons in the lower area of the "Horizons" dialog box, used for the following actions:

• "Previous"
  You will return to the previous horizon. Alterations to the current horizon will be saved.

• "Next"
  You will advance to the next horizon. Alterations to the current horizon will be saved.

• "Delete"
  The horizon displayed in the dialog window will be deleted.

• "Paste"
  An additional horizon can be pasted prior to the displayed horizon.

• "Remarks"
  Clicking this box generates a dialog box for entering remarks or similar on the borehole. They appear on the DIN 4022 form in column 3 or in column 7 of the ISO 14688-1 form. Some long texts interpreted from abbreviations, e.g. groundwater level information, are automatically entered in the corresponding columns for the selected standard during interpretation.

• "Sh. text"
  The short text relevant for using the record for graphical visualisation in GGU-STRATIG can be entered in this dialog box.

• "Samples"
  Enter the type, number and depth of samples in this dialog box. These data can be found in the DIN 4022 form in columns 4, 5 and 6 or on the ISO 14688-1 form in column 6. The samples can also be entered and interpreted using the SEP 2 abbreviations (see explanation in Section "SEP abbreviations").

• "Cancel"
  Horizon input will be stopped. Alterations to the displayed horizon will be rejected.

• "Done"
  Horizon input is complete. Alterations to the displayed horizon will be accepted.
