When I enter SSR( Split spoon refusal) in the blow count column for calculating SPT N-value, a message appears and clears the data saying enter a numeric value. How do I edit the blow count column to include text values as well? If the SSR is reported either 1st, 2nd or 3rd blow count, how do I make changes in the report template to show "SSR" in the N value column.
There are many ways to do this. If you are using the gINT std US data structure and library, Split spoon refusal is automatically handled by inputting the blows and the appropriate sample length. If the sample length is less than the full 18 inches it will print the blows as 50/3" (or similar) which indicates refusal. There are other ways to handle this. For example, I allow text entries in my blows fields but then I have to write logical statements to interpret the text entries (such as WOH, 50/0.2. Etc) when it comes to output time or calculating SPT N, N60, or plotting the results. Others have separate entries for blows and penetration per blow. You need to tell me what your data structure and library look like in order for me to give you more specific advice.
