The following information can be specified on this tab:

 

Station Info

 

Industry: This is used to select the whether the station is for environmental tests, geotechnical tests, or both.

 

Station Name: This is used to specify the unique station name.

 

Map Coordinates

 

If it is a local project the following are not displayed.

 

Coordinate System: This is the coordinate system specified when the project is created. It can be either a geographic or projected coordinate system. The default is the WGS 1984 geographic coordinate system used internally by the program to store location data.

 

Degrees Minutes Seconds or Decimal Degrees: If the coordinate system is geographic, this can be used to display the coordinates in either degrees, minutes, and seconds or decimal degrees.

 

Longitude: For a geographic coordinate system this is the longitude in either degrees, minutes, and seconds or decimal degrees.

 

Latitude: For a geographic coordinate system this is the latitude in either degrees, minutes, and seconds or decimal degrees.

 

Easting: For a projected coordinate system this is the x coordinate in map units.

 

Northing: For a projected coordinate system this is the y coordinate in map units.

 

Local Coordinates

 

Local X-Coordinate: This is the x coordinate in local units. If the project is georeferenced the local coordinates are calculated automatically.

 

Local Y-Coordinate: This is the y coordinate in local units.  If the project is georeferenced the local coordinates are calculated automatically

 

Associated Boring/Well

 

Boring/Well Name: If the station is associated with a boring or well, it can be linked to the station. If a boring or well has been linked to the station it can be opened in the WinLoG module by clicking on the Open button.

 

Station Uploaded

 

Station Uploaded: If the station has been uploaded from EDMS Field this will be checked. This can not be edited.

 

Date Uploaded: If the station was uploaded, this displays the date it was uploaded from EDMS Field.
