Edit Internal Metadata

Use the Edit Internal Metadata option (Geosoft.uxo.gxnet.dll(Geosoft.GX.UXO.UxaEditMetadata;Run)*) to edit metadata saved into UX-Analyze databases. This is primarily for legacy systems; see the Application Notes for more details.

Expand to see the locations (menus) where this option is available.

Edit Internal Metadata dialog options

Database prefix	Select the prefix for the databases that need to be updated. All databases with this prefix will be updated. If a Database prefix is selected, Database name should be left blank. Script Parameter: UXA_MDE.PREFIX
Database name	Enter the database that needs to be updated. If a Database name is entered, Database prefix should be left blank. Script Parameter: UXA_MDE.GDB
Metadata Parameters
Survey mode	Select the survey mode from the list. Available options are Static and Dynamic. Script Parameter: UXA_MDE.SURVEYMODE
Sensor / Configuration	Select the advanced sensor name from the list of available sensors. The list is populated from the SensorTableAdvanced.xml file located in the C:\Program Files\Geosoft\Desktop Applications \etc folder. Script Parameter: UXA_MDE.SENSOR_CONFIGURATION

Application Notes

The internal metadata is set when importing data for the legacy systems and provides the link to the sensor table.

With the legacy systems, the raw (CSV) data file contains only positioning and transient data. The additional information required to describe sensor configuration is read from the sensor table. For the newer systems that use the HDF format for the raw data file, this is disabled and will display "Defined from data".

If you want to customize the SensorTableAdvanced.xml file, you should manually copy the file to your "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Geosoft\Desktop Applications \etc" folder (in order to not lose your changes during an update).

*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.
