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

  • Does anyone has any input or comments about this issue?, Will it work if i send all the files to a specific person so he can check?

    Thanks

  • Hi Pelelo, it depends where on the log you are still showing TSF as the units. If it is in the column header, you need to open the report entity, select the "Column" tab, and edit what is in the "Column Header Label" field. If it is associated with each PP reading displayed, it may be included in the "Text Expression" under the main tab (something like <<sample.pp>> TSF" , where you just need to edit the TSF to your units. If the Text Expression is a "User System Data" function (something like <<UserSystemData.PP>>), you will need to edit that expression under Data Design>User System Data, and use the yellow drop down box at top to select "PP" or whatever you actually see in the expression on the report log. If you are not familiar with user system data functions, they are simply an expression that is defined there and given a short name, so it can easily be referenced in multiple reports.

  • Hi William,

    Thanks for your input.

    I checked both the column header label in the Column tab and the text expression in the main tab but did not see anything related to PP units. See file attached.

    I also check the "User System Data" and did not see anything related to PP in the yellow tab. Please refer to the file attached as well.

    Please let me know your thoughts. ThanPDFks.

  • 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.

  • I do not have gint available to me at the moment so I xant give you detailed instructions and will have to do this from memory.  I can do better thus weekend. 

    Based on the pdf file above you are on the right track and very close. The pot us printed from the component description function that you showed on the last page. It references a component description table called TESTS. You will have to edit that table to change how the units display in the body of the report. Can't quite remember where to edit that table but it us probably under the data structure tab under library tables then select the table. Also may be a separate tab for component description tables....cant remember. Once in the TESTS table you need to find the line that prints PP. The units are probably in the suffix column or print after column. Again cant remember what it is called. I can provide better details Saturday or Sunday when I get back to my computer.
