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. 

Refer to the file attached

  • 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

  • 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.   

  • Thanks Aparna, I worked!.

    Another question related to the same subject (or let me know if you prefer to create a new topic):

    Whenever I have no PP values (blank cell), but I do have MC values, in the logs, GINT DOES NOT show the test column. See file attached. I called it case 1.

    If I enter a dash (-) in the PP cell, GINT shows the MC values and the PP value as a dash line ( PP = - kg/cm2). I called case 2.

    Is there way to make gint work indepedent2- PP.pdfly between MC and PP values?.

    For example, if  there is no PP value I will leave the cell blank BUT I do want the MC value shown in the logs.

  • 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.

  • Thanks Aparna,

    I was not aware that my library could be from a 3rd party vendor. Unfortunately I don;t know who he is. I have worked for several companies in the past and they all have used Gint at some point.

    Maybe the other Gint representatives could provide any input on how to solve this.

    Please advise.
