GGU-STRATIG: Samples: interpretation using SEP 2 abbreviations
Input of samples follows at the end of the abbreviation line. After the final supplement input enter a slash and begin with the depth from which the sample was taken.
It is important that the sample depth information is entered using a decimal point, not a comma.
You can then enter the sample designation (name) in brackets. For the description of the sample type, the SEP abbreviations are available once again, which you can view or supplement in "Preferences/ Abbreviations (SEP)", button "Samples". It is not absolutely necessary to enter a description of the sample type. It is also possible to simply enter the depth and sample designation. The sample type (e.g. special sample) must also be placed in brackets and be separated from the sample designation by a comma.
If a further sample has been taken from the same horizon, separate the entries with a semicolon " ; " and enter the depth, number and type in the same sequence.
For example the entry
....... / 1.2(S 1), (bp1) ; 2.4(S 2), (so)
means:
Sample S 1 is a very poor quality bore sample (= bp1) at a depth of 1.2 m
(Visualisation at stratigraphic log with activated depth display: bp1 S 1 1.20).
.Sample S 2 was taken as a special sample (= so) at a depth of 2.4 m
(Visualisation at stratigraphic log with activated depth display: so S 2 2.40).
Using the format shown in the example before, the sample base level is entered. If the top and bottom of the sample need to be displayed, the appropriate check box must first be activated under "Preferences/Abbreviations (SEP), dialog box button "Samples/short texts". Depth input then follows the example below:
......./ 1.0-1.2(S 1), (kp)
This means that both depths are shown in brackets after the sample designation
(Visualisation at stratigraphic log with deactivated depth display: kp S 1 (1.00-1.20)).
Samples are interpreted as Left texts and drawn beside the stratigraphic log. Because the depths of samples are given in text format following the sample designation if sample visualisation with both depths is activated, the Left texts depth display should be deactivated.
The DIN 4023 symbols for disturbed samples (unfilled box), special samples (filled box) and core samples (box with cross) can also be interpreted at the same time using the corresponding SEP 2 abbreviation, as for special sample (= so) in the example. The allocations can be found by pressing the "Assign (samples)" button in the "Preferences/Abbreviations (SEP)" dialog box. If the sample type is not additionally required in text format in the symbol visualisation, delete the corresponding long text in the "Preferences/Abbreviations (SEP)" dialog box, "Samples" button.
