The MST application provides a method to transfer ODPís Lab View data into Janus. You can also enter and edit sensor data and upload Lab View data into files that can be used in spreadsheets.

To open the ODP - MST Application window, select the MST option from the Application menu of the Ocean Drilling Program - Janus window.

The File option for MST is:

Use the Exit MST option in the File menu is to leave MST and return to the Ocean Drilling Program - Janus window.

The Transfer menu contains functions connected with the upload of files from Lab View.

The MST Data Transfer window is used to extract data from files generated by Lab View and load the files into the Janus system. To open the window, select the MST Files option from the Transfer menu.

The MST data files are expected to reside under the path GROSBECK.DATA1:JANUS_Q in the subdirectories GRAPE, NGR, PWL, WC-MS, and STANDARDS. If the GROSBECK.DATA1 volume is not mounted on the client, or if either of the GROSBECK.DATA1:JANUS_Q or GROSBECK.DATA1:TRNFRD directories are not present, then the application asks you to specify alternate locations for the missing directories. If you cancel out of selecting the alternates, then the window comes up with an empty list box and only the Refresh File List and Close buttons are enabled. If the required directories are present, or if alternates were selected, then the window opens and is populated with the name, type, and upload status of all available MST files.

.

When the window opens, the list box contains all available MST LabView files. They are displayed by MST File name, File Type, and Transfer Status. NOTE: This view of the window was taken on a PC, therefore no file names are listed.

To begin transferring data, click on the Transfer button. During a transfer, the system highlights each file in the list box as it transfers. The Transfer Status column gives you the status of each file during the transfer process. File status are: Awaiting Transfer; Reading...; Loading...; Transferring...; No Action; Transferred; or Error. If an error occurs as a file transfers, that file stays in the queue (and still be displayed in the list box) until the problem is resolved and it can be transferred successfully. To find out what caused the error in transferring data, locate the janus.errlog file on your system (which is in the same directory as the Janus executable). This aids in tracking down the problem with the file.

After a completed transfer, the Refresh File List button becomes active and the Transfer button becomes inactive. If you wish to do another transfer, click on the Refresh File List button. The system rescans the Lab View directories for new MST Lab View files. After the directories are scanned for new files, the Transfer button becomes active again and you may do another transfer of files. Any files left from the last transfer is still displayed in the list box.

Buttons

• Clicking on this button initiates the upload of data and the transfer of the Lab View MST data to the Janus directory called "Transferred". After the system transfers all the files, the button becomes inactive until you refresh the file list.
• This button exits the window.
• After a file transfer, use this button to rescan the "JANUS_Q" directory for new MST Lab View files. Files that did not transfer previously because of an error are still displayed. The button is inactive when the window opens and becomes active after a transfer.

The MST Transfer Analysis window displays sections that were entered in the Core Application (Corelog) but not processed through MST. To open the window, select the MST Transfer Analysis option from the Transfer menu.

When the window opens, the current Leg, Site, and Hole appear at the top. The selection in the Display Cores/Section Where MST Files Have panel defaults to Been Transferred. The selection in the MST Data Types to Be Analyzed panel defaults to Mag Susc. The Transfer Analysis status area is blank.

• This button initiates the analysis and then loads the status area with cores/section that meet the selected criteria.
• This button exits the window.
• Clicking on this button sends the data in the list box to the printer. The standard print dialog box for your platform appears when you click on the button.

The Input/Edit contains two options:

The MST Table Import window allows you to import the contents of comma delimited MST files into the Janus database. Open the window by selecting the Data Table Import option in the Input/Edit menu.

When the window opens, the two data entry fields and the MST Import Status field are blank. If you know the name of the file you wish to import, you can enter that in the File Name field. Or you can use the Query button to bring up the standard file selection dialog box for your platform. Once here, you can locate the file and select it. That file name returns to the File Name field in the "MST Table Import" window.

• Use this button to bring up a file selection dialog box in which to select the file to be imported.
• This button initiates the import of the file in the File Name field.
• This button exits the window.

The Change/Delete Data window is used to edit or delete MST data. Open the window by selecting the Edit/Delete Section option in the Input/Edit menu.

When the window opens it is blank. The current leg is displayed and all of the buttons except the Cancel button are unavailable.

In the Select Change/Delete panel, enter the site and hole of the data you wish to edit and select the type of data in the the Data Type choice box. Click on the Query button. The system retrieves the data and loads it into the list box. After the system retrieves the data, the window name in the title bar changes to reflect the Data Type selected.

There are three different editing functions that you can do, depending on the type of data. You can change the site, hole, core, core type, and section for all data types. Some data types allow editing of the interval, and others allow editing of the other data. A row of data can be deleted for any data type. Each data type has different data that can be edited. The data that can be edited was determined by the ODP Steering Committee.

To edit data, select the row that contains the data. The buttons that correspond to the editing functions that you are allowed to perform for this data become active. Click on the appropriate button. When you do this, a popup appears in which to make the allowed changes.

To delete a row of data, select it and click on the Delete Now button. The data is immediately deleted from the list box and the database.

To edit the site, hole, core, coretype, or section, click on the Change S/H/C/CT/S button. The popup displays the current site, hole, core, core type, and section in the Change From panel. In the Change To panel, enter the new values for site, hole, core, core type, and/or section. Then click on the OK button to save the changes to the database. The Change/Delete Data window returns and displays the changes.

To edit an interval, click on the Edit Interval button. This brings up the Edit Interval popup which displays the current interval for the selected row of data. Select the intervals and enter the new values. Click on the OK button to save the changes to the database. The Change/Delete Data window returns.

To edit data (depending on the data type), click on the Edit Data button. This opens a different popup, depending on the data type being edited. The current values are displayed and blank fields for the new values appear beneath them.

 This button closes the window.

To do a dump of MST data to a file, first select dump criteria. In the Dump MST Data For panel, you have the option to dump MST data for an entire hole, for a single core, or for a range of cores. When you select the Entire Hole option, you must enter Site and Hole, but the Core, Type, Start, and End fields are inactive. When you select the Single Core option, you must enter Site, Hole, Core, and Type, but the Start and End fields are inactive. When you select the Core Range option, you must enter data in all fields. In the Dump MST Data Types panel, you may choose to have the data sorted by one or more of the data types.

• Clicking on this button initiates the dump of the data related to the selected criteria. The system dumps that data into a file. The progress of the data dump is shown in the Dump Log list box.
