Creating a DCP test
Test setup, linking to a ground log and the governing standard.
A DCP test starts with New DCP test in the DCP register.
Test setup
This panel connects the field evidence to the rest of your records.
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Test title | What the test is, for example DCP field test |
| Project | The project |
| Job | The job, filtered to the chosen project |
| Linked Ground Log | Optional — see below |
| Field technician | Who performed the test |
| Test date and time | When |
| Location ID | Your reference, for example DCP-01 or CH 120 |
| Equipment | The apparatus used |
| Initial scale reading (mm) | Starting reading, normally 0 |
Linking to a ground log
Linked Ground Log ties this test to an investigation location — useful when the DCP verifies conditions at a borehole. The constraint is that the ground log must belong to the same project and job. If the log you want isn't in the list, check the project and job selections first.
Linked tests show the log reference in the register's Ground log column; unlinked tests show Not linked.
Coordinates and apparatus
Coordinates and apparatus details expands to record the test position and the specifics of the cone and hammer used.
The standard
The header records the basis of the test: AS 1289.6.3.2, with the DCP-to-CBR engine v2.0 performing the interpretation.
