  1. Field Lab Setup Or dealing with “Don’t worry, he’ll figure it out.”, when you are the He.

  2. Field Lab Problems Old, limited computer (WYSIWYG) No Internet New XRF tool Rotating field lab technicians “SOP?, that’s in the SOP?”

  3. Tool Needs • Automatic custom EDD importing • Automatic dig decisions, based on: • Average of XRF readings • XRF readings • Average of XRF readings/lab results • XRF readings/lab results • Sample tracking • Limited sample info edits (if they can’t touch it they can’t break it)

  4. Export Needs • Instant XRF based dig decisions • Daily exports for large exceedances • Monthly exports of XRF readings and lab results (trump and maximum) • Property exports of XRF readings and lab results

  5. Great, so . . . How did we do it?

  6. DB Entry • Data Manager creates houses, DUs, locations, and samples (pretty boring stuff here, not going to bore you)

  7. Sample Tracking Lab tech puts in field data

  8. Sample Tracking

  9. XRFing & Processing We want to see if a given DU should be dug down Z or Z + a bit, so we start at the bottom After XRFing all of one depth we check

  10. XRFing & Processing

  11. Sample Analysis What’s up, doc?

  12. Sample Analysis

  13. Dig Decision • XRF is all well and good what is the decision? • The DDT only calculates a dig decision when all samples were available.

  14. Dig Decision

  15. Export - Daily

  16. Export - Monthly

  17. Export - Property
