1. Introduction

The Revision Property page allows users to create new baseline values for assigned instruments. New revisions will not overwrite previous or initial baseline values.

For example, in the event of re-locating sensors/replaced sensors, a re-baseline would be used for that instrument.

2. Page Navigation

  1. Sign in to GeoSens.

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

3. Project Instrument Type Filter Introduction

Select a Project Instrument Type Dropdown

  • Purpose: Filter the revision records based on instrument type or project.

  • How to Use: Click the dropdown list to see all available instrument types. Select one to automatically update the data table with the corresponding records.

  • Benefits: Quickly narrow down your view to the relevant set of instruments, enhancing focus and efficiency.
