The Xray application consists of functions that allow the Xray Techs to store XRD data to the database, input XRF and XRD data into the database from existing files, and add new data to the references tables in the database.

Open Xray by selecting the Xray option from the Applications menu of the Ocean Drilling Program - Janus window.

The File option for Xray is:

Use the Exit Xray option in the File menu to leave Xray. The Ocean Drilling Program - Janus window returns.

The XRD menu options are:

The Input XRD Data File window is used to read data from a single UDF or UDI file and load it into the Janus system. To open the window, select the Input Files - Single File option from the XRD menu.

When the window opens, the current leg, site, and hole appear in the sample identifier section. The remaining sample identifier fields, file name, and sample prep field are all blank. The XRD File Type choice box defaults to UDF, and the XRD Run Type choice box defaults to Sample. The Load File

button is initially disabled.

To load a file, you can either enter a file name in the XRD File Name field or use the Query button to select a file from the dialog box that appears. Select XRD File Type. (When you select File Type UDI, the Enter XRD Run Parameters panel disappears and you do not need to enter run parameters.) Enter Sample Identifiers and XRD Run Parameters. (When you select Run Type "Check", the Enter Sample Identifier panel disappears and sample identifiers do not need to be entered.) Once you have entered a valid file name and filled in the required data in the Enter Sample Identifiers and Enter XRD Run Parameters panels, the Load File button becomes active.

• Clicking on this button brings up a file picker dialog. Selecting a file causes the path name of that file to appear in the XRD Input File Name field.

• Clicking on this button causes the contents of the named file to be read and stored in the database. After the file has been successfully loaded, the button becomes inactive until you select a new file.

• This button allows you to exit the window.

The XRD Batch Upload window is used to read data from multiple UDF or UDI files and load them into the Janus system. To open the window, select the Input Files - Batch option from the XRD menu.

NOTE: This window provides a "new" batch upload process. The "old", single file upload process is still available and operation has not changed. (See Section 1.2.1 - Input Data-Single File in this Chapter.) The "old" process allows barcodes to be entered into the comments field and uploads the files properly. However, the contents of the comment field and the uploaded filename do not correspond unless the filename is also the barcode.

In order to successfully accomplish a batch upload of XRD files, you must follow the guidelines outlined below:

1. Set up the XRD queues using the Set Up XRD Queues window which is accessed through the Preferences menu of the Ocean Drilling Program - Janus window. (See Section 2.3.3.3 of the Chapter called Introduction to Janus.)
1. Print a barcode list of the samples that you wish to upload. Use the Sample Barcode List window accessed through the Barcode List option of the Tech Support menu in Xray. (See Section 1.4.4 of this chapter for instructions.) You can also access the Sample Barcode List window from the Ocean Drilling Program - Janus window, under Output/Reports.
1. For samples, you must enter the barcode of the sample in the comments field of the Phillips software. You can do this by manually entering the barcode or by scanning the barcode using a barcode reader. NOTE: The Sample Barcode List window is designed to assist in the scanning of barcodes (step 2 above). You can specify a set of barcodes to print. This printed list contains scannable barcodes, the human readable form of the barcode, and the corresponding ODP identifiers.
1. For check samples, enter CK, CHK, or CHECK instead of a barcode into the comments field of the Phillips software.

• If you attempt to upload the same file, the load fails. To upload a file that has already been loaded, select the Edit/Delete XRD Data option from the Tech Support menu and delete that file. Then upload it again.
• To upload replicate sample analyses, each sample analysis must be in a different file.
• To upload replicate check file analyses, each analysis must be in a different file.

1. UDF files must be loaded before UDI files. That is the reason for separate UDF/UDI "waiting" queues. The loads the list box in the window with properly ordered files.

Following the guidelines outline above, proceed with the upload of files. Open the XRD Batch Upload window. The XRD queues that were last set in the Set Up XRD Queues window are displayed at the top in the XRD Queue Pathnames panel. The files currently residing in the first queue (UDF Wait) are displayed in the list box. NOTE: If any of the queue names appear in red, this means that these are invalid queue names. Either the directories they name donít exist or there is a syntax error in the directory names themselves. Return to the Set Up XRD Queues window to find the errors or change the queues. The Detailed Upload Status panel is blank.

To load all of the files in the queue at once into Janus, click on the Load All Files button. To load only some of the files, highlight each file in the list box and click on the Load Selected Files list box. During the upload, the list box shows the status of the file in the File Status column.

The system displays a detailed status report in the Detailed Upload Status panel at the bottom of the window. It shows what type of run the file is (analysis or check run), if the file was read successfully, if the file was uploaded successfully, if the file is being moved to the proper directory, and other details that pertain to the upload of the file.

Detailed Upload Status Panel Showing Status of Each File

After a completed and successful upload, the Refresh File List button becomes active and the Load All Files and Load Selected Files buttons become inactive. If you wish to upload more files, click on the Refresh File List button. The system rescans the XRD queues for new UDF and UDI files and loads them into the list box. After the directories are scanned for new files, the load buttons become active again and you may do another upload of files. Any files left from the last upload is still displayed in the list box.

To clear the Detailed Upload Status panel before doing another batch upload, click on the Clear Status button.

• Clicking on this button loads all the files in the list box into Janus.
