Toolbar

 

The buttons on the toolbar at the top of the tab can be used to enter, copy, and paste the data.

 

Add: This is used to add a new set of measurements at the selected row.

 

Delete: This is used to delete the measurements on the selected row.

 

Cut: This will cut (remove) all of the measurements and store them in the clipboard.

 

Copy: This will copy all of the measurements and store them in the clipboard.

 

Paste: This will paste the information in the clipboard into the measurement grid. It can be used to copy measurement data from Excel, by selecting and copying the axial force and axial displacement columns in Excel and pasting them into the grid.

 

Clear: This will remove all of the measurements.

 

Measurement Data

 

The data for each set consist of the information below:

 

Set: This is the set number and is automatically added by the program.

 

Temperature: This is the temperature for the measurement.

 

Mass of Flask: This is the mass of the flask for the measurement.

 

Mass of Flask and Dry Soil: This is the mass of the flask and dry soil for the measurement.

 

Mass of Flask, Water and Soil: This is the mass of the flask, water, and soil for the measurement.

 

Mass of Flask and Water: This is the mass of the flask and water for the measurement.

 

Specific Gravity: This is the calculated specific gravity for the measurement.

 

Corrected Specific Gravity: This is the temperature corrected specific gravity for the measurement.

 

Units

 

Mass Units: This is used to select the units for mass.

 

Temperature Units: This is used to select the units for temperature.

 

Results

 

Specific Gravity: This is the average calculated specific gravity.

 

Corrected Specific Gravity: This is the temperature corrected specific gravity.

 

Corrected Temperature: This is the temperature used for the correction. The temperature to use is specified in preferences.
