Exclude Survey Records in a Stationary Survey

When a stationary survey includes one or more survey records with problems, the survey records are identified with an error or warning icon. A survey record with one or more errors must be resolved prior to running telluric compensation. A survey record with a warning does not require resolution, however problems may occur during telluric compensation.

Information in this section explains how to exclude survey records in the compensation calculation. A stationary survey with any of the following characteristics that include an error or warning are eligible for exclusion:

  • Missing ON and/or OFF voltage measurement.

  • Missing survey date and time.

  • Same voltage measurement for both the ON and OFF reading.

  1. Click Data Entry > Stationary Survey Maintenance to open the Stationary Survey Maintenance window.

  2. Select an option from the Date range drop-down list to filter the data view in the Stationary Surveys grid.
