How to change the PP units?

Question

Hello, 
 
 I was wondering where to change the PP units. I noticed that in one page it is in kg/cm2, however in the report page it is in TSF.

To change the units in the Input column header you can do it two ways: 1) In your input table which has the column, right click and go to Field properties. Change the units from the list available. This change will only be reflected on the header of the column in your input table. Also, this change will only be for this project. 2) In Data Design under Project Database tab, go to Open File Icon (red arrow on the file) Select either Open project or Current project or Open Data template. From the yellow dropdown menu select your table that has PP field. Change the units from the available. If you choose Data template option then this change will be reflected in your data template and the future projects that you will create from this template will reflect this change.

The units shown on the Table are just displayed for user reference. You can change them by going to DATA DESIGN, selecting your Data Template, going to the SAMPLE TABLE, and then selecting the Pocket Penetrometer field. At the bottom, you'll see the box for units.

On the report sheet, you need to go into the REPORT DESIGN and select the report you would like to change. Find the Text vs Depth entity for the PP readings and select it. If the Text to Display expression has something like

<<Sample.PocketPenetrometer>> tsf

then gINT is referencing the field in the sample table and no conversion is being performed. If you want to have both units, then change the expression to

<<Sample.PocketPenentrometer>> tsf (<<Calc(<<Sample.PocketPenetrometer>>/0.095760)>> MPa)

That expression is based on the assumption that your field is called PocketPenetrometer. You'll have to change it to the actual field name.

So as far as I understand, you are wanting to change the tsf units in the report. This will be in the Component description table in the data design. See this screenshot.

When using, the gINT Std US Lab dataset, it does show the Test column in the final output even if the PP reading in the sample table is not present. See the screenshot for depth of 5 and 20 
 
 In your other pdf files attached in the thread above, there are screenshots of User system data that shows PLOG entries which means you have your library file customized from a 3rd party vendor. You will have to reach out to them to see if there are any changes that could lead to you not seeing the test column like you mentioned.
