Create Data Map

Use the Create Data Map option (Geosoft.uxo.gxnet.dll(Geosoft.GX.UXO.UxaDataMap;Run)*) to create a map that shows the gridded survey data from the measurement.

Create Data Map dialog options

Databases

Prefix

Specify the databases prefix.

Script Parameter: UXANALYZE.DATA_MAP_DB_PREFIX

Target group

Select the target group from the target database.

Script Parameter: UXANALYZE.TARGETGROUP

Source group

Select the source group from the source database, which has been inverted or modelled using Invert for Sources(Static).

Script Parameter: UXANALYZE.SOURCEGROUP

ID channel

Select the ID channel from the source database.

  • If the source database doesn't exist, the channel will be picked from the target database.

    • Script Parameter: UXANALYZE.TARGETID

    Database for masking

    Select which database to use for masking.

    Script Parameter: UXANALYZE.DATABASE_MASK_OPTION

    Mask channel

    Select the mask channel from the source database for which sources maps will be created.

  • If the source database doesn't exist, the channel will be picked from the target database.

    • Script Parameter: UXANALYZE.TARGETMASK

    Symbol mask channel

    Select the symbol mask channel from the source database, for which sources in addition to the current/selected source will be included on the maps.

  • If the source database doesn't exist, the channel will be picked from the target database.

    • Script Parameter: UXANALYZE.TARGETSYMBMASK

    Output

    Output type

    Select the output file type, which can be an image or a Geosoft map.

    The Image option will only create PNG files for each of the maps; however, it is the faster option to quickly review the results.

    When the Geosoft map option is selected, the output map will also be exported to a PNG file. While the Geosoft maps take longer to create, they can be used with data-linking cursors.

    The PNG image is saved to your project folder in the UXANALYZE_wrk\data_maps\*Map prefix*_image sub-folder.

    Script Parameter: UXANALYZE.OUTPUT_TYPE

    Map prefix

    Specify the Map prefix, which is combined with the target IDs to create the data map name: Prefix_target ID.map or Prefix_target ID.png if output type is Image.

    Script Parameter: UXANALYZE.DATA_MAP_PREFIX

    Map name

    This read-only field shows the complete map path name.
    The folder to save the data maps is: UXANALYZE_wrk\data_maps. As the GX creates a Geosoft map and/or an image for every target, each will be saved into a separate sub-folder to keep the output folder more organized; the map is saved to your project folder in the UXANALYZE_wrk\data_maps\*Map prefix*_map or UXANALYZE_wrk\data_maps\*Map prefix*_image sub-folder.

    Target window size

    Specify the size of the window to show. This window will be centred on the selected measurement.

    Script Parameters: UXANALYZE.ANOMALYWINDOW

    Data to Display

    Source

    Select Database or Grid using the radio buttons.

    Depending on your selection, some of the following parameters will be enabled or disabled, based on file format requirements.

    Script Parameter: UXANALYZE.SUBSETGDB_IS_GRID

    Grid name

    If Grid is selected, specify the grid file name.

  • This entry is visible only when source is Grid.

    • Script Parameter: UXANALYZE.DATA_MAP_GRID

    Data channel prefix

    If Database is selected, specify the sensor data channel from the list.

  • This entry is visible only when source is Database.

    • Script Parameter: UXANALYZE.DATA_MAP_SENCHAN_PREFIX

    Gate

    Select the gate number to display on the map.

    The list is from 0 to the number of gates for the selected sensor, minus one.

    Default value is the first non-dummy gate in the batch modeling. If no batch modeling is done, the default value is 0.

  • This entry is enabled only when source is Database.

    • Script Parameter: UXANALYZE.LOGATE

    Data to plot

    Select the transmitter-receiver coil pairs to plot. The available options depend on the configuration of your sensor.

    • If your sensor has more than one transmitter in the Z orientation (i.e. TEM2x2 and MetalMapper 2x2), you can plot:
      • Monostatic Z (this is the only option)
    • If your sensor has only one transmitter in the Z orientation (i.e. MetalMapper and MPV), you can plot:
      • Coaxial X
      • Coaxial Y
      • Coaxial Z
      • Coaxial All (i.e. X, Y and Z)

    Script Parameter: UXANALYZE.DATA_MAP_PREFIX

    Measured, Modeled, Residual

    Select the data to be displayed in the data map.

    Script Parameters:

    UXANALYZE.DISPLAY_FINAL_DATA

    UXANALYZE.DISPLAY_MODELED_DATA

    UXANALYZE.DISPLAY_RESIDUAL_DATA

    Actions

    [Set Colour]

    When selected, the Adjust Colour Scale dialog is displayed that enables the user to adjust the colours for Measured and Modeled or Residual data.

    [Set Gridding Parameters]

    When selected, the Grid Parameters dialog is displayed that enables the user to set the gridding parameters for this GX.

    Application Notes

    Once you fill in the various entries and click the OK button, the data maps, and possibly its PNG images, are created and saved in the output project folder UXANALYZE_wrk\data_maps\.

    The following symbols are plotted on the output map:

    X

    - the flag location

    +

    - the sensor location

    - the fit location

    Sample Script

    As this tool calls various tools in the background, the recorded script may contain several additional lines. Below, is a simplified sample script with the key lines that can be modified and used to run the tool:

    SETINI UXANALYZE.SURVEYMODE="Static"
    SETINI UXANALYZE.WINDOWSIZE="25"
    SETINI UXANALYZE.ANOMALYWINDOW="2"
    SETINI UXANALYZE.DATA_MAP_DB_PREFIX="test_Survey"
    SETINI UXANALYZE.TARGETGROUP="targets"
    SETINI UXANALYZE.SOURCEGROUP="test"
    SETINI UXANALYZE.DATABASE_MASK_OPTION="0"
    SETINI UXANALYZE.TARGETID="id"
    SETINI UXANALYZE.TARGETMASK="mask"
    SETINI UXANALYZE.TARGETSYMBMASK=""

    SETINI UXANALYZE.OUTPUT_TYPE="1"
    GX Geosoft.uxo.gxnet.dll(Geosoft.GX.UXO.UxaDataMap;Run)

    *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.
