This is a two part process. The first part is entering settlement data for a particular inclinometer. The second part is applying settlement corrections to a particular inclinometer surveys.
Entering settlement data
1. Right click the Inclinometer. Select “Add Survey”. The survey dialog appears.
2. Set Survey Type to “Settlement”. Enter the initial settlement survey depths. Click “OK” to save the initial settlement survey (these are depths with units in meters or feet, as appropriate).
3. When you have new settlement data, repeat the steps above. You need a least two settlement surveys before you can apply a correction.
Applying a settlement correction
Now that you have settlement data in the system, DigiPro can make corrections.
1. Click on the Inclinometer Survey to be corrected. Click “Tools”, then “Apply Settlement Correction”.
2. The Settlement correction dialog appears. By default, the earliest and latest settlement surveys will be selected as initial and current. Click OK.
The change (settlement or heave) between the initial and current settlement surveys will be calculated and applied to the selected Inclinometer Survey. The original survey will be left unchanged, and a new corrected Inclinometer survey will be created with the same date but with minutes and seconds set to 59:59.
