How to change the PP units?

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.

  • 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.

  • Hello Allan and Aparna,

    I have been trying to follow your directions on this (how to change the PP units), please refer to the file attached, I see the PP drop down menu BUT don't see where to enter the units.

    Please let me know.PDF

  • 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.
