GGU-DENSITY: "Tests" menu item
This is the program's central menu item. After selecting a density determination method in the menu item "File/New", all the base data for determining the soil density is entered here. After clicking this menu item or double-clicking in the table area the following dialog box opens (example):

Only one test is present in this example. The tests are automatically numbered and the test numbers ("1, 2, 3, etc.") shown on the respective buttons. The following actions are possible:
"To menu bar"
You return to the original menu bar."New"
You can now enter data for a new test."1", "2", etc.
By clicking the buttons labelled with the test numbers you can open and edit the data for the corresponding test.
After clicking on "New" or on the button of an existing test a dialog box opens for entering or editing test data. The dialog that appears when the "Cylinder (proctor)" method is selected is shown below:

Enter the unit weights and volumes for density determination using cylinder tests. It is also possible to enter the weight of the test container manually. However, if you use containers with standard weights for your tests it is recommended to store the weights of the respective containers in a database. This saves repeated input by hand. The database can be stored using the menu item "Edit/Container database".
In the place of the input box "Container [g]" an extended group box is shown in the dialog box. After activating the "Database" option button the containers used can be selected from the drop-down combo box.

The container database can also be accessed when using other GGU laboratory programs.
The following actions are also possible from the above dialog box:
"Done"
You will arrive back at the previous dialog box. All values entered will be accepted."Delete"
The currently displayed test will be deleted."Duplicate"
The currently displayed test will be duplicated. You will automatically find yourself in the next test.
