Import AGS Data

This program is used to import into a LogPlot datasheet a variety of geotechnical and geoenvironmental data from text files that use an AGS data structure. The process involves selecting the data file to be imported, mapping the import fields to the LogPlot datasheets, and importing the data.

(See the AGS website for general information; see AGS Data Format for formatting information.)

Introduction

Some important notes about this import tool:

• A new data file will be created for each borehole referenced within the AGS file.
• AGS format 3.1 and 4 are supported.
• If you import regularly from the same source or from a different source with a similar layout, you can save the import settings as a template for future use.
• Because of the variety of both AGS data types and LogPlot datasheets which are available, this can be a pretty free-form import process. We assume you are familiar with the AGS data you are importing, and we offer general suggestions for appropriate destination datasheets in this documentation.

The following are the steps to import from an AGL file.
