1. Introduction
This page allows you to manage and view parameter settings related to instrument revisions. It displays detailed configuration information like chart parameters, axis ranges, and data output settings.
2. Page Navigation
Sign in to GeoSens.
Click on left-hand corner icon 'Setting', click to expand 'INIT | REV | CALI | DATA'→ click REV.Parameters.
Parameter Bulk-Import Bar: select instrument type and add missing parameters.
Parameter Data Table: view and manage parameter details.
Function Bar: edit, export, delete, or copy parameters.
3. Instrument Revision Parameter Bulk Importing Bar
This section lets users add missing parameters, overwrite existing ones, or clean and re-import default revision parameters—by instrument type, specific instrument name, or revision number.
NOTE: Instrument revision parameters—used for analysis, calculations, and graphing in Geosens—are pre-configured at the global level. This section allows bulk-importing these defaults into a project for a specific instrument type or name, ensuring consistency and saving setup time.
How to use the function for parameter bulk-editing
Select a Project Instrument Type (Dropdown): Choose the type of instrument (e.g., Electric Anchor Load Cell).
Instrument Name (Textbox): Enter the name of the instrument if necessary to narrow down the results.
Revision (Textbox): Input the revision number to filter parameter records by version if necessary.
Action Button:
Add Missing: adds parameters that are expected but not yet present for the selected instrument and revision.
Overwrite: replaces existing parameter values with updated ones for the selected instrument and revision.
Clean & Re-import: removes current parameters and reloads the default revision parameters based on the instrument type, name, and revision number.
Update (Button): Applies changes made in the editable fields.
NOTE: Please use Overwrite and Clean & Re-import with caution—these actions are irreversible. Add Missing is the safest and most commonly used option.
4. Parameter Data Table Introduction
4.1 Field Introduction
Field Name | Description |
Instrument Type | Displays the type of the instrument (e.g., Electric Anchor Load Cell (LS-ALC)). |
Instrument Name | Unique identifier for the instrument (e.g., FAHTBN001-1). |
Revision | The revision number (e.g., 0) of the configuration. |
Param Type | Categorizes the parameter as BASE, CHART, or REPORT_CHART.
|
Param Code | Internal unique code used to identify the parameter programmatically. |
Param Name | Displaying name of the parameter (e.g., Y-Axis (Max)(kN, Linear)). |
Param Value | Default numeric value for the parameter if applicable. |
Param Text Value | Descriptive or textual representation of the value (often same as Param Name). |
Notes | Any additional information or comments related to the parameter (this column appears to be empty here). |
NOTE: High-level fields like Instrument Type, Instrument Name, and Revision No. are non-editable. Only parameter-level fields—Param Type, Param Code, Param Name, Param Value, and Param Text Value—can be edited.
4.2 Additional Information Column
Additional columns can be dragged and dropped from the column chooser '
' into the data table to customize the view and add more information.
Prop Code: Unique code representing a specific parameter of the instrument for internal System use.
4.3 Filtering and Sorting
Filtering Function
Click on the filtering icon ‘
’, type in the key words to narrow down records, tick on one or multiple items in the list to apply the filter.
Sorting Function
Click on column headers to sort your data.
Toggle between ascending and descending order to enhance data management efficiency.
5. Function Bar (Top Right)
This section provides introduction to each function.
Function | Description |
Edit Grid | Enables inline editing of parameter values directly in the grid. |
Export 
| Download the displayed data into an Excel file.
|
Delete | Tick to select an existing row of instrument parameter. Click on 'Delete' to delete entries (only enabled with selection). |
Copy | Tick to select an existing row of instrument parameter. Click on 'Copy' to duplicate the setting for quick editing. It will be renamed ending with '(Copy)', click 'Edit' to make further changes. |
6. Usage Workflow Example
A. Bulk-importing revision parameters by default
Select Instrument Type → Choose e.g., “Electric Anchor Load Cell (LS-ALC)”.
Enter Instrument Name → e.g., "FAHTBN001-1".
Enter Revision → e.g., 0.
Click ‘Add Missing’ → Populate default parameter settings if any are missing.
Click ‘Update’ to save changes.
B. Make necessary changes to parameters values after importing
Filter out Parameters → Click on the filter next to header 'Instrument type' and select the specific instrument type to narrow down the list, or filter by 'instrument name'.
Review/Edit Parameters → Click ‘Edit Grid’ and update fields as needed.
NOTE: High-level fields like Instrument Type, Instrument Name, and Revision No. are non-editable. Only parameter-level fields—Param Type, Param Code, Param Name, Param Value, and Param Text Value—can be edited.
