Log Material Window

Logged Material

This dialog box displays tables of information about material logged during the course of surface excavation. The name of each log may be edited directly in the table. Clicking on the name of a log makes that log current. Editing actions then apply to that log.

Logs record each excavation or fill event. Excavation adds material to a log, while fill or dump removes material from a log. A log’s contents are the amount of material currently in the log. In addition each log keeps separate track of cut and fill, of prime and Rehandled material and of cumulative (total) material passing through it. Each logged excavation or dump event is recorded in the log’s History.

Log Type

Use this pull down list to choose the type of log to view and edit. All logs of this type will be shown.

Close Button

This closes the Log Material dialog box.

Edit Log Fields

The buttons in this group alter the values in a current log.

Add Button

This button adds material to the current log. The material is added through a dialog box. This box allows users to give a name to the "Add" event, to specify the amount of material added and to divide it into cut and fill components.

Material Button

This button allows users to alter the properties (bank and swelled specific gravity, swell factor) of the material in the next excavation. The properties of material in Layer Logs cannot be altered in this way. These properties are set by the material properties of the layer to which each Layer Log is attached. This is altered through the Terrain/Layers menu item. Consequently this button is inaccessible when the Layer Log Type is selected.

Zero Button

This button sets the contents of a log to zero. Users are given the option of zeroing cumulative cut and/or fill, or leaving it unchanged.

Clear Button

This button zero’s a logs contents, cumulative and clears all History records.

Edit Log

The buttons in this group treat a current log as a single thing. Their actions thus apply to the log as a whole.

New Button

This button creates another log of the current type and positions it after the current log.

Move Button

This button moves the current log. Log positions are numbered. Users nominate the new position of the current log.

Active Button

This button applies to General Logs only. It sets the current log to be active. This means that all subsequent excavation and dump events will report to that log.

Delete Button

This button deletes the current log, together with all of its records.

Information

The buttons in this group provide additional information about the current log.

Layer Logs Button.

Show how material in this General Log is distributed in Layer Logs.

History Button

This button calls up an additional table showing the history of events for the current log.

Attached Button

This button does not apply to General Logs.

For Layer Logs this button gives the names of the layers from which excavated material reports to the current Layer Log i.e. the names of the layers to which the log is attached. It also specifies whether material logging is enabled for each layer.

For Machine Logs this button gives the names of machines from which excavated material reports to the current Machine Log i.e. the names of machines to which the log is attached. It also specifies whether material logging is enabled for each machine.

Print Button

This button prints the table contents on the system printer.
