Drillhole Quality Control and Quality Assurance

The Drillhole system performs a small number of vital Quality Control and Quality Assurance (QA/QC) tests when importing your data. These tests include anything that will impact the whole project, for example duplicated Hole IDs. An Import.log file will be displayed after importing if such problems are found.

Drillhole also provides the tools to enable you to perform detailed QA/QC tests on each of the five different data types (Collar Data, Dip/Azimuth Survey, Easting-Northing Survey, From-To Data, and Point Data).

The Drill Hole - QAQC tools dialog asks you to select the type of data to perform the QA/QC tests on. For each data type there are different sets of options you can enable/disable using the Options button.

Each test produces its own log file; e.g. Collars (Collars.log), From-To (FromToData.Log), All data (QAQC.log). If no problems are found you receive a message such as: "No problems were detected with the Dip-Azimuth Survey data."

To Run the QA/QC test:

On the DH-Data menu click QA/QC.
The Drill Hole - QAQC tools dialog appears.
From the Data Type to QAQC drop-down list, select All Data to run the tests on all the data in your current project.

For more information on the QA/QC tests, click the Help button on the Drill Hole - QAQC tools dialog.

Using the Hole selection drop-down list, select to run the QA/QA tests on the Selected holes, All holes or to Select holes from list.
Click the OK button to run the test. If no errors are found the Drill hole QA/QC dialog will be displayed telling you that no problems were detected.
Otherwise a log will open listing the errors from each data type.

If you run this test on a data type that you do not have in your current project you will be prompted with the Drillhole QA/QC dialog telling you that no data of this type exists in the project.
