Select the "Samples and Remarks" tab and click on the desired row to
display the sample data entry screen.
The only required information for a sample is the top depth.
You can either use the pulldown menu to select the sampler type, or type the sampler type directly into the box. BorinGS comes with many standard sampler types, but additional types may be defined as discussed in the Editing Samplers section.
Normally the sampler's graphic symbol is displayed across the full width of the Sampler Type column. Occasionally, however, two samples overlap - such as when a bulk sample is taken around a driven sample. In this case, we usually want one sampler symbol to be printed on the left half of the column and the other to be printed on the right.
Whichever sample should be on the left should have the "left" radiobutton selected, and the sample on the right should have the "right" radiobutton selected.
If you want the text associated with a sample (such as the
label and laboratory data) shifted up or down to prevent overwriting
the data from another sample, you may enter that offset amount (in log
units - feet, not inches) in the
"Vert Lbl Offset" field. A value of "-2" would shift the text up
2 feet on the log.
Text entered in this field will be printed in the Remarks
column. The font and text style may be modified with the tags
described in the Markup Tags section.
The laboratory fields are defined in the template and will be
printed in the corresponding columns, if selected for printing in the
template. Enter any
appropriate data for the sample in these fields.
