Add Random Values to a P-Data Track

Use this program to add a random value to the existing data values in a P-Data column, storing the results in a separate column.

Feature Level: RockWorks Standard and higher

Input/Output
- Input (P-Data) Track: Click here to select the existing P-Data column that contains the measurements to which random values are to be added.
- Output (P-Data) Track: Click here to select the P-Data track where the output measurements are to be recorded.
  ! Any existing data listed there will be overwritten.
  ! If you need to add a new track to the P-Data table, click the rectangular button to access the P-Data Types Table.
Range
- Minimum Value: This setting defines the minimum possible value for the random numbers.
- Maximum Value: This setting defines the maximum possible value for the random numbers.
- Save Values < Zero as Zero: Check this box to assure that negative values will not be posted to the output track. If the original value + random value is less than zero, the value that will be posted to the column will be 0.
Apply to
- All Boreholes (Enabled and Disabled): Choose this if the selected track for all boreholes is to be manipulated.
- Only Enabled Holes: Choose this option if the selected track is to be manipulated only in boreholes which are currently enabled.
- Currently Highlighted Borehole (Single Borehole): Choose this if the program is to perform the computations for a single borehole. The currently-selected borehole is displayed here, click another from the list to change the active hole.

Access the RockWorks Borehole Manager program tab.
Enter/import your data into the Borehole Manager, if you have not already done so.
Be sure the boreholes whose data is to be processed are enabled.
Create, if necessary, a column in the P-Data tab where the new data will be listed. See Defining the P-Data Columns for more information.
Select the Borehole Operations | P-Data | Add Random Numbers menu option.
Enter the requested program settings, described above.
Click the Continue button to proceed.
RockWorks will read the contents of the input P-Data Track and add to each value a random number that ranges between the defined minimum and maximum. The resulting values will be listed in the selected output column in the database.
