<h2>Great, I have discovered a new cave...</h2>
|

<p>If you have not come to this page from <a href="newcave.html">Starting a New Cave"</a> then go and read that first.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>This page outlines the next step of the process. Each part of it is documented separately.

<h3 id="newwallet">Starting a new wallet</h3>
|
||
|
|
<ol>
|
||
|
|
<li>Put all your written notes into the next empty "wallet":
|
||
|
|
(a transparent folder/envelope) in this year's lever-arch file labelled
|
||
|
|
e.g. "Expo Survey 2018" in the potato hut*.
|
||
|
|
<li>The wallet has a paper sticky label on it with the wallet-identifier,
|
||
|
|
e.g. <b>2018#22</b>, already printed on the label.
|
||
|
|
<li>Write the date and the names of the people on the trip on the label.
|
||
|
|
<li>Tick whether your trip was a surface or a cave trip.
|
||
|
|
<li>Write the name of the cave (with number if you know it), e.g. "264 Balkon"
|
||
|
|
<li>Write the area in the cave you did your surveying, e.g. "mongol rally"<br>
|
||
|
|
<li>Now turn to the index sheets at the front of the folder,
|
||
|
|
and fill in the line (e.g. 2018#22) for your wallet
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>"264 mongol rally"
|
||
|
|
<li>date of trip
|
||
|
|
<li>people who were on it
|
||
|
|
<li>then there are a lot of tick boxes. The explanations for these will come later.
|
||
|
|
</ul>

<em>Image of wallet index sheet - click for larger image</em>
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<li>Now, if you have not done it immediately after you left the cave,
|
||
|
|
photograph all the pages of survey notes with your phone.
|
||
|
|
Get one or more of the people also on the trip to do this too.
|
||
|
|
</ol>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>* As people spend longer and longer at top camp, we may establish
|
||
|
|
a wallet file at top camp
|
||
|
|
too, with pre-allocated numbers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The original notes and sketches should be filed in the clearly marked
|
||
|
|
wallet. Rip them out of the notebook, don't take them caving again and <em>don't leave them lying around to
|
||
|
|
be "Gössered"!</em></p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The notes (all of them, including dates, personnel, calibration, LRUD,
|
||
|
|
station details, etc.) should be filed away in the wallet in the current year's
|
||
|
|
surveys file. You should include a transcription on a sheet of paper if they are illegible
|
||
|
|
(to other people; if you can't read them yourself, go back and do the survey
|
||
|
|
again!). Even if you do this, never throw away the original notes.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<!-- Original text: ...copied onto a fresh page of the Survey Book
|
||
|
|
while everyone's memory is still fresh (this helps if something is only
|
||
|
|
marginally legible). This should be proof checked by someone else. Current
|
||
|
|
survey books are divided into "Kaninchenhöhle" (usually referred to as
|
||
|
|
"KH Survey book") and "surface stuff and other caves" (usually referred to as
|
||
|
|
"notKH survey book"). There should be an index page at the front, which you
|
||
|
|
should also fill in so that people can find your survey again.</p>-->

||

|

|
|
<h3 id="onlinew">Scan the notes into the online wallet</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Each wallet has a corresponding folder in the online system where a record is kept
|
||
|
|
of what information is in the wallet and where the corresponding survey data is filed:
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
/expofiles/surveyscans/2018/2018#22/
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This is where the scanned (or photographed) copies of the survey notes are kept.
|
||
|
|
<p id="scan">To use the scanner attached to the <em>expo laptop</em>, select the "Simple Scan"
|
||
|
|
icon from the vertical menu of icons which you get by clicking on
|
||
|
|
"Activities" in the top lefthand corner of the screen.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p style="margin-left:20px">[ Normal people should skip this, <br>
|
||
|
|
but nerds need to look here
|
||
|
|
for the <a href="onlinewallet.html">online wallet maintenance process</a> ].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If your initial backup photos of your notes were poor quality, use the
|
||
|
|
scanner in the potato hut to make better copies. Scan to JPEG format as .jpg files.
|
||
|
|
<p>Name the scanned pages "<em>notes-1.jpg</em>, or <em>notes-cavepassagename.jpg</em>" etc. This is important as a script detects whether these files exist
|
||
|
|
(with names beginning "notes..", "plan.." and "elev..") and if you name them something else it will hassle you unnecessarily.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>[ Note to maintainers: do not rename these files even if they have been created with the wrong names.
|
||
|
|
They are permanently referred to by the tunnel/therion/troggle system !]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Scanned survey notes are voluminous and so are not kept in the version control system. Instead it is all kept
|
||
|
|
in the file bucket "expofiles" on the expo server in Cambridge.
|
||
|
|
<p>You will be using the expo laptop to do the scanning
|
||
|
|
and you will put all the scan files in the folder for your wallet, e.g. for 2018#19 it is:
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
/home/expo/expofiles/surveyscans/2018/2018#19/
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
and tell someone nerdy when you have finished and they will
|
||
|
|
ensure that it is copied to the expo server.
|
||
|
|
<code>
|
||
|
|
If you want to do this yourself on your own laptop then be aware that
|
||
|
|
since 2018 this is all more involved because of the enforced security on our new server. First you need a <a href="../computing/basiclaptop.html">minimal laptop setup</a> and then you will need to
|
||
|
|
learn how to use Filezilla
|
||
|
|
- as <a href="../uploading.html">documented for uploading your expo photographs</a>. The correct folder
|
||
|
|
on the expo server is the same as that on the expo laptop- because we set up the expo laptop to be like that.
|
||
|
|
But <em>only copy files to the server that you created yourself and which live in your own wallet folder</em>
|
||
|
|
</code>
|
||
|
|
<h3 id="runsurvex">Storing your electronic survey .topo files</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you used a PDA instead of making notes on paper, you need to store your .topo files in the right place.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If you using the expo laptop you can put the .topo files in a special "X" folder for your virtual
|
||
|
|
wallet, as there is no physical wallet,
|
||
|
|
e.g. for 2018#X16 it would be:
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
/home/expo/expofiles/surveyscans/2018/2018#X16/
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
and tell someone nerdy when you have finished and they will
|
||
|
|
ensure that it is copied from the <em>expo laptop</em> to the expo server.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If you are not in the potato hut then email all the .topo files
|
||
|
|
to a friendly nerd (not necessarily on expo) who will upload them in the right place.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
