GPSeismic Version 2011.4 Release Notes

General

1) In the Edit menu of the display viewer, the menu item allowing you to display
a Google Map will now be disabled if no active row is selected or the active
row contains no WGS84 coordinates.

2) In the display viewer, added a toolbutton to allow user to remove all filter
values.

Requested by Cliff Wittig.

3)QuikLoad, QuikView, and QuikMap were modified so that the rendering of XZO holes 
were more transparent.

4) Modified Alaska, Puerto Rico and Hawaii datums in the geodetic database to
reference the respective Nadcon shift files.

5) You can now specify a Map ID number for each IMG file you create. This is 
on the main IMG parameters dialog.

Requested by Andras Berta of NovaSeis.

QuikView

1) Added a TNF CSV import option in the Specific ASCII utility.

Requested by Mark Swim of CGGVeritas.

2) Added support for the Leica XRTK survey mode.

QuikMap

1) When making an IMG file from a shape file, increased the supported number of 
vertices in any one polygon from approximately thirty two thousand to several 
million.

2) When sending data to the data viewer, a new data viewer File menu option will 
allow you to create a secondary layer of points which are the averages of all points 
on the initial layer that are duplicates (by use of the station).

3) When the Google Maps dialog is displayed, you can now redefine the extents
that are used for downloading image tiles. You can enter specific values or use
one of several buttons that will resize or move the extents relative to the
original extents. A representation of original and new extents is shown.

Requested by Michael Schlautmann of DMT GmbH & Co. KG.

4) In the Google Maps utility, you can now display each tile as it is retrieved.
This can be useful in determining whether to cancel a download.

5) When making an XZO file from a shape file, if there are too many vertices in
any polygon, it is skipped, the remaining polygons are written, and the user is
warned that there was at least one skipped polygon.

GPSQL

1) Changed the Source Information Table (SIT) vibe import table structure to
accommodate changes made by BP in that format. In addition to card column changes,
added a DemRaster field as an additional double field and changed the IDENT field
to a double to accommodate any value that might be used.

Requested by Shi Guanjun of BGP.

2) In the Duplicate Manager, added a button to save display viewer edits. Also 
fixed a problem that would occur if you clicked on a duplicate where the coordinate 
and height differences between points were exactly zero. It also does the following: 
a) When a row is activated, if the fields in the record include an easting and 
northing, a crosshairs is drawn over that point. b) A link query location that falls 
a considerable distance away will now be visible. c) Added a TIF image extension 
to the file filter. d) Vibe IDs have been added to the information box. e) When 
turning on range circle, sweeps or template, the zoom level is now kept the same.

Requested by Brian Marsh.

3) On the Recalculate Offsets dialog, you can now enter any format for a user
specified azimuth.

Requested by Michael Schlautmann of DMT GmbH & Co. KG.

4) When the option on the field selection dialog allowing QuikMap to make changes 
to the database is checked, there is now a button enabled allowing you to make a 
backup of the database.

Requested by Brian Marsh.

5) Fixed a problem in which selected points would not be written if nothing was
chosen for the descriptor field. The two utilities this could affect were shape
point files and single query QuikMap messaging.

Spotted by Dave Cook.

6) Added an option to the shape line outputs so it's possible to create one line
per defining gap, but not have one segment drawn between each adjacent pair of
points. All vertices are recognized however.

Requested by Alan Stanton of WesternGeco.

7) On the field selection dialog, you can now double click the panel that alerts you
to the fact that placeholders are permissible. This action fills all empty output
list fields with a placeholder.

Requested by Alan Stanton of WesternGeco.

8) When you collapse the table list , then expand it back, the grid will be
instantly scrolled to the table that was selected last.

Requested by Michael Schlautmann of DMT GmbH & Co. KG.

Project Manager

1) On the Backup Preferences dialog, you can now save any application or utility's
settings to a file (with a '.settings' extension). On the same dialog, you can 
retrieve the settings from these files and update the registry. This provides the
user with the means to distribute specific settings to other users on different
systems. For example, if you configured the ASCII Import dialog with several
user defined format, you could save an ASCII_Export .settings file and send it
to another GPSeismic user. The file would be used to instantly update his or
her registry with these settings. Also added a menu item to this dialog that allows
the Update dialog 'make equivalent' expressions to be saved to a 'settings file'.
The Update expressions are used in both GPSQL and the display viewer.

Suggested by Henry Jackson of Northeast Surveys and Michael Schlautmann of DMT
GmbH & Co. KG.

QuikCon

1) The user 1 and 2 text boxes are now enabled when the checkboxes underneath are 
not checked.

Requested by Cliff Wittig.

GPLocator

1) There is a tab page behind the map. This contains a 2D graph that is capable 
of displaying speeds for any vehicle. Drag the vehicle ID from the spreadsheet 
to the 'browse' label. You will be prompted for a log file. The log file appears 
in the label on the right. Any other vehicle you drag to this label will display 
the vehicle's speed immediately. Check the checkbox on this tab page to graph by 
time.

2) You can now save the User interface (menu and panels) by selecting the 'Save 
Current UI' menu item in the status bar. When GPLocator is started, it always 
will default to the standard user interface. However, the second menu item, 
'Retrieve UI' will restore user interface instantly.

3)You can now analyze a log file, make reports from it and graph vehicle from it
when tracking (or tacking and logging). The graph vehicle utility has been modified
to allow you to select individual vehicles.

4) The Raveon serial data import now makes several tests for valid data.

All items above requested by Jan Quaak of CGGVeritas.

GPMonitor

You can now use $GPGST standard deviation messages and $PTNLDG Trimble beacon
messages. The lat/long/hgt standard deviations are displayed in the spreadsheet.
The error ellipse values are depicted graphically on a 2D position difference
scatter graph. The latest beacon information from the $PTNLDG message is displayed 
in the status bar. Because beacon data is not time tagged, if there is no beacon 
message for 30+ seconds, it is reported as missing. All standard deviations and 
Trimble $PTNLDG information is added to the log file if the user selects the new
options on the Settings tab page. There are also options that will scale the 
standard deviations to two sigma and one to include the latitude, longitude and 
height standard deviation in the graph that displays the delta values. There are
now options to set the color of the graph values for number of satellites, DOPs,
deltas and standard deviations. The base ID from the GPGGA message is now included
in the log file.

Requested by Glyn Barnes of WesternGeco.
