Setup Parameters

Use the Setup Parameters menu option (UCESETUP GX) to set up basic information regarding the project.

Setup Parameters dialog options

Project	The file name to import. Script Parameter: UCESETUP.PROJECT
Distance units	Measurement unit for this project. If no projection is defined, the default unit is "Metre". Script Parameter: UCESETUP.UNITS
Longitude (-180 to 180)	Select a point within the survey area. This point is used to calculate the magnetic north. The longitude of this point should be supplied in decimal degrees Script Parameter: UCESETUP.LONGITUDE
Latitude (-90 to 90)	Select a point within the survey area. This point is used to calculate the magnetic north. The latitude of this point should be supplied in decimal degrees. Script Parameter: UCESETUP.LATITUDE
Survey Height	The designated height of observation for the project. All GXs requiring height information, failing to have a local entry, default to this value. Script Parameter: UCESETUP.HEIGHT
Client	Client of the project. Script Parameter: UCESETUP.CLIENT
Contractor	Contractor of the project. Script Parameter: UCESETUP.CONTRACT
Interpreter	Interpreter of the project. Script Parameter: UCESETUP. INTERP
User comments	These comments will appear on all exported XYZ files. Script Parameter: UCESETUP. COMMENTS
Date	Date of the project has been initiated. By default the current date is supplied in this entry Script Parameter: UCESETUP.DATE
Local coordinate system	Select "Yes" from the dropdown menu if your project includes a local coordinate system. The default is "No" Script Parameter: UCESETUP.LOCALCOORD
Client Logo	Select the Client Logo. Script Parameter: UCESETUP.DODLOGO
Corporate Logo	Select the Corporate Logo. Script Parameter: UCESETUP.CORPLOGO
QC Report	Select "Yes" from the dropdown menu if your project includes a QC Report. The default is "No" Script Parameter: UCESETUP.QCREPORT
DID Access database	Select the location and name of the Access database. Default value is DGM_DB.accdb. You can create a new DID Access database or select an existing one. The Access database extension is *.accdb. You can enter the name of the database directly into the textbox or using the Browse button, navigate to the database. Script Parameter: UCESETUP.DIDDB
[Projection]	Click the Projection button to set the projection for the project. If you bypasses specifying the projection then the projection is assumed to be UTM, and the datum WGS 84. The particular zone is calculated from the latitude and longitude of the survey area.

Application Notes

When starting a new survey, this dialog is run to setup the project with parameters that are required by several other UXO tools. The Setup parametersdialog enables you to specify parameters specific to your survey such as the Project name, Distance units, Projection coordinates of data, Longitude and Latitude (required to determine magnetic declination and projection),Client name, Contractor name, Interpreter name and Project date.

Other parameters include the Client Logo and Corporate Logo. The dialog, by default, will initially look for these Logos in the %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Geosoft\Desktop Applications \etc folder. The Logos will then be copied to your current Project folder.

Projection

Select the [Projection] button to set the desired projection for the project. Or, you can accept the default projection, which is a UTM projection, in metres, with the zone based the latitude and longitude specified, and the datum set to WGS 84. For details on setting the projection and coordinate system see the Coordinate System tools under the main toolbar menu Coordinates.

USACE DID Database

The United States Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) Data Item Description (DID) database is typically part of the data deliverables required for a United States Department of Defense contractor. A DID specifically defines the data content, format, and intended use of the data. For further details, and commonly used DID's see U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville (http://www.hnc.usace.army.mil/Missions/Engineering.aspx).

When [OK] is clicked, the project data will be exported into a Microsoft Access database (*.accdb).

If the USACE DID Access database entry is blank, the DID database will not be created and no data will be logged. To create or use an existing DID database, Microsoft Access (2010 or higher) or the Microsoft Access database engine needs to be installed. For details on where to find and install the Microsoft Access database engine, see related Knowledge Base articles, including "How to install 32-bit Microsoft Database engine alongside 64-bit Microsoft Database engine" on MySeequent Support.

Depending on whether a DID Access database exists or not:

• Existing DID database: when an existing DID database is chosen, the tool will verify that the Project_Table, in the database, contains a UXO project. If the table is empty, the database is considered as a new database. If the table is not empty, a warning message is displayed enabling you to decide to keep or overwrite the existing entry.

• New DID database: when a new DID database is defined, the GX will create a blank Microsoft Access database, based on the template, DGM_DB_Template.accdb, installed in the %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Geosoft\Desktop Applications \etc folder. The tool will then save the setup parameters of the UXO project into the relevant columns of the Project_Table table. The table below shows the mapping of the setup parameters and columns to the Project_Table. The GX reports an error if the required table or the table column(s) listed in the table below does not exist.

Setup Parameter	Table Column	Comment
Project	Project_ID	Required
Contractor	Prime_Contractor	Required
Projection method	Project_Coordinate_System	Required
Datum	Project_Datum	Required
Unit	Project_Coordinate_Units	Required
Longitude, Latitude, Survey height, Client, Interpreter, User comments, Date	Comments	The longitude and latitude data are saved in the decimal degree format.

An issue creating the Access database has been discovered for users who have installed 64 bit - Oasis montaj 9.0 and who also have 32 bit - Microsoft Office 2013 installed. The work around is to install a Microsoft patch that can be found on this Microsoft page: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255. For more information, see related Knowledge Base articles, including "How to install 64-bit Microsoft Database engine alongside 32-bit Microsoft Office" on MySeequent Support.

Note that the Microsoft patch does not work for users who have 32 bit - Office 2010 installed.
