1. Introduction

The DATA page allows users to view and manage monitoring data from various instruments across selected revisions.

  • Select instrument type, name, and revision date range to access relevant data

  • Track displacement changes over time, including lateral, vertical, and parallel movement

  • Edit or update data values when adjustments are required


2. Page Navigation

  1. Sign in to GeoSens.

  2. Click on left-hand corner icon 'Setting', click to expand 'INIT | REV | CALI | DATA'→ click 'DATA' → click Instrument Data.

This page consists of three main sections:

  • Instrument Data Filter: Use the filter to load data for certain instrument type(s), instrument name(s), and certain time-period.

  • Instrument Data Table: Display all instrument data filtered by instrument type, instrument name, and time-period.

  • Function Bar: take actions like editing, deleting.


3. Instrument Data Filter

The Instrument Data Filter helps users quickly locate and analyze monitoring data by selecting specific instrument types, names, and date-time ranges.

How to Use the Instrument Data Filter Section

  1. Select a Project Instrument Type (Dropdown)
    Choose the type of instrument (e.g., XY-Z Survey Prism) from the dropdown list to begin filtering.

  2. Instrument Name (Textbox)
    Enter or select the specific instrument name to narrow down the data results.

  3. From Date-Time (Date Picker)
    Set the starting date and time for the data range using the calendar picker (format: DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM:SS).

  4. To Date-Time (Date Picker)
    Set the ending date and time for the data range using the calendar picker (format: DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM:SS).

  5. Apply Filters (Action)
    Once all fields are set, apply the filters to view and analyze instrument data within the selected range.


4. Instrument Data Table Introduction

This section introduces the instrument data table, which displays filtered monitoring data after applying the instrument data filter.

4.1 Field Introduction

General data columns are introduced below:

Field Name

Description

Instrument Name

Identifier of the instrument used for measurement.

Revision

Revision number or version of the data entry.

Date-Time

Timestamp of when the measurement was taken.

Easting (m)

Eastward coordinate in meters.

Northing (m)

Northward coordinate in meters.

Level (mRL)

Elevation in meters relative to a reference level (e.g., mean sea level).

Change in Easting (mm)

Shift in easting position in millimeters.

Change in Northing (mm)

Shift in northing position in millimeters.

On-Hold

Indicates if the data entry is temporarily paused or inactive.

In Quarantine

Marks data entries flagged for review or isolation.

Notes

Additional comments or observations related to the data entry.

Fields below are configured for XYZ Prisms. Different Instrument types will have different readings columns displayed in the data grid.

Field Name

Introduction

Lateral Displacement (mm)

Lateral movement in millimeters.

Vertical Displacement (mm)

Vertical movement in millimeters.

Parallel Displacement (mm)

Movement parallel to a reference direction in millimeters.

Horizontal Displacement (mm)

Additional horizontal movement metric.

XYZ (3D)

Combined 3D displacement data.

NOTE: Fields like lateral and vertical displacement are auto calculated by Geosens based on easting, northing, level values, and cannot be manually edited. To adjust these readings, if necessary, modify inputs such as instrument name, revision, date-time, easting, northing, or level with cautious.

NOTE: Calculated fields like lateral, vertical, and parallel displacement will be highlighted if they exceed alarm limits. The background color indicates which specific alarm limit was triggered.

In the image below: Vertical displacement triggered the AMBER alarm.

4.2 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.

Feature

Description

Edit Grid

Enables inline editing of fields such as Carry Type and Carry Value.

Delete

Tick to select an existing row of instrument CarryOver. Click on 'Delete' to delete entries (only enabled with selection).


6. Usage Workflow Example

A. Viewing Instrument Data

  1. Use the Instrument Data Filter at the top of the page:
    Select the Project Instrument Type, Instrument Name, and Date-Time Range to load relevant data.

  2. Use column filters to narrow down results:
    Click the filter icon in column headers (e.g., Instrument Name, Revision) to refine the data view.

  3. Use ascending/descending sorting:
    Click on column headers to sort values and identify trends or outliers more easily.

  4. Check data displayed in the data grid.

B. Editing Instrument Data

  1. Click Edit Grid to enable editing mode.

  2. Update editable fields such as Instrument Name, Revision, Date-Time, Easting, Northing, or Level as needed.
    (Note: Calculated fields like displacement values are non-editable.)

  3. Click Save to save changes.

NOTE: If any changes are made, go to the Instrument Page to evaluate the instrument. This ensures that calculated values (e.g., displacements) are reprocessed and updated in the data grid.
