conference (September). Although we are getting better, it is in fact a
|
||||
struggle to get these before next expedition. Life is made particularly
|
||||
difficult when bits of data and description arrive in dribs and drabs,
|
||||
meaning a lot of piecemeal updating. By the time the majority of expo members
|
||||
are back in Cambridge, it is at least two months since the return home, all
|
||||
urgency has been lost and memories have faded. To avoid this, <b>think</b>:</p>

memory will have faded. Some entirely nonsensical surveys <!-- the top of Kiwi

|
||||
<p>Survex has some very flexible data entry options, so there
|
||||
are a few extra guidelines to try to get some consistency in the way
|
||||
everyone uses it within this project.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>It will be easiest if you start from one of the existing template files,
|
||||
<p>Survex (including the graphical software 'aven') is already installed
|
||||
on the expo laptop. These instructions assume that you are using the expo laptop.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Where to put your data</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Where to put your data: <b>If in doubt, ask!</b>. These instructions assume
|
||||
that you are typing it in on the <em>expo laptop</em>. (You can do it fom your own
|
||||
laptop if you have been initiated into the deep magic of the "loser" repository
|
||||
of the distributed version control system - see the
|
||||
<a href="../update.htm#repositories">list of repos</a>.
|
||||
|
||||
<ul><li>If it is a surface
|
||||
survey, it goes in the "surface" directory;
|
||||
<li>if it is a file of fixed points
|
||||
(like GPS fixes, or map coordinates), it goes in the "fixedpts" directory;
|
||||
<li>if
|
||||
it is a new cave on the near-plateau, put it in a new directory under "caves-1623".
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<li>Underground data for Steinbrückenhöhle goes in one of the
|
||||
subdirectories under caves-1623/204; it may well be clear which one from what it
|
||||
links to, but if not, ask.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Use a template</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It will be easiest if you start from one of the existing template files,
|
||||
as these have lines to remind you to add various details - make sure you
|
||||
don't leave any blanks! Copy this to where you want to put your data
|
||||
<em>before</em> editing it (with any luck, the template should be on CD-ROM, so
|
||||
you can't trash it :-).</li>

<ul>
|

<li>Use Unix line endings (i.e. \n not \r\n).
|

||||
<li>Use UTF-8 character encoding.
|

|
||||
<li>Cave numbers are written without any leading zeros at all (in filenames,
|

survey names, or anything else!).
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Entrances have station names such as p204b. In the event of the tag
|
||||
location being different from the entrance location, the tag point
|
||||
should be named with a "t" instead, e.g. t204b.
|
||||
|
||||
<li>No full stop (.) characters in station names.

<li>All filenames to be in lower case. Capital letters in filenames can still (in 2018)

cause hassle when moving between Linux and Windows.
