Application Notes

When the user selects a data point to be added to the background, the GX will average over N points on either side of the selected point (i.e., N before and N after), before adding that to the background database.

"N" can be found in "uxa.config", which can be located in the C:\Program Files\Geosoft\Desktop Applications \etc\ folder:

  • <dynamicBkgDatabase>
  • <averaging oneSidePoints="3" />
  • </dynamicBkgDatabase>

*The GX tool will search in the "gx" folder. The GX.Net tools, however, are embedded in the Geosoft.uxo.gxnet.dll located in the bin folder. If running this GX interactively, bypassing the menu, first change the folder to point to the bin folder, then supply the GX.Net tool in the specified format.
