Setting QA/QC Options

The Target system provides the tools enabling you to perform Quality Control and Quality Assurance 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 type there are a different set of options you can enable/disable using the Options button. All are enabled by default except the hole curvature test. This parameter requires you to specify a value for the curvature -- if it is set it to 0 or left blank the test doesn't run. The system saves the settings to the Advanced Settings file (Project > Settings > Advanced).

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."

The following sections detail the QA/QC options available for each data type:

QA/QC - Collar data options
QA/QC - Dip-azimuth survey options
QA/QC - East-North survey options
QA/QC - From-To data options
QA/QC - Point data options
