After 3 years of technical support
on the GEO-LOG 2 software, LIM decided to completely re-write the
GEO-LOG application in order to propose a real 32 bits software
for Windows 95, 98, Millenium and Windows NT 4 . The new software is
more powerful and user-friendly.
|

|
New interface : |
|
- GEO-LOG
3 is based on a MicrosoftTM Access® 97 powerful database that enables through an interactive way, to enter,
import, store and classify all types of borehole information.
- GEO-LOG
3 uses an unified
interface in
order to access permanently to all tools: Database consultation
and input, borehole logs and multi-logs profiles creation and
printing, LIM data reading with MTC, etc...
- Generalizing of contextual
menus to simplify
the browsing in the software.
- Network
functionnalities:
access to shared folders and printer drivers.
|

|
New geotechnical database : |
|
|
- New
types of data
enlarge the fields of application of the software (borehole
completion, cummulated histograms, etc..).
- Management
of the measurement units in both, metric and US systems, with possibility of easy convertions
in case of modification of the system.
- New
management of Attached
documents enabling
to assign all type of OLE document (Word document, EXCEL sheet,
digital pictures, etc..) to a project, site, borehole or even
a depth and to incorporate them to back-up files.
|

|
- Possibility
to include user
formulas with
the advanced Basic interpreter (mathematic functions, character
chains, formulas imbrication).
- Data back-up improved (borehole, site, complete project).
- Extended multi-criteria
seach based on
powerful SQL requests.
|

|
New opennings : |
|
- Importation
of external files (LAS,
text, Access, Excel, Fox-Pro, D-base, Paradox, HTML tables,
etc...).
- Download
optimization of LIM devices data : transmission speed up to 38400 baud, data of one
complete LIM memocard are transferred to the computer with the
possibility to read them directly from the hard disk, possibility
to read and print automatically boreholes with a choosen template.
- Importation
of Bitmap and Metafile pictures for logos and geological symbols (the METAMIG application
enables the creation of geological symbols under the EMF file
format).
- Exportation of data
associated to boreholes (text, Excel, HTML, RTF).
- Exportation
of graphs to picture files (EMF, BMP). These files can then be imported in any
type of Windows graphic application (Autocad, Excel, Word, etc...).
|

|
New graphs : |
|
- Simple management
of templates.
- Interactive and complete
page setting of documents on screen and printer.
- Title
boxes are separatly designed and can be assigned to different templates.
- New
presentation options
: filling of curves with geological symbols, cumulated histograms,
borehole completion, insertion of pictures, etc...
|
- New
concept of paint brush
keeping presentation styles of all the database graphs (style,
line thickness, design, colour, etc...).
- Creation
of simple multi-boreholes sections (more simple templates, absolute positionning of boreholes
(X,Y,Z), project lines and geological contacts, etc...).
|

|
Minimum : |
- PC with a Pentium® microprocessor.
- Windows® 95 and Windows NT®
3.51 Service Pack 5 and successors (does not work with previous
versions).
- With
Windows® 95, 32 Mb of RAM are required
to run the program alone. 64 Mb are required for Windows NT® Workstation. A higher memory
can be necessary to run simultaneously several GEO-LOG 3 applications.
- 40 Mb space disk available.
- CD-ROM.
- SVGA or higher resolution
(800x600 display minimum).
- Microsoft mouse or equivalent
(with 2 buttons).

Windows® 95, 98, Me, Windows NT® 4 Workstation and successors, 128 Mb of RAM .
- 1024x768 display, 65536
colours (High color).
- Printers used to test
the software with Windows 95/98 standard drivers:
* Black
& White: HP LaserJet III, HP LaserJet 4P, HP Deskjet 500.
* Colour : HP PaintJet XL 300 (A3, A4), HP Deskjet 500 C, Epson
