<h2>Process</h2>
|
|
<p>If you don't know what a wallet is, <a href="walletintro.html">read the introduction to wallets</a>.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<h3 id="newcavepaperform">If it is a new cave</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Fill out a paper "New Data Sheet"
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Click on the image on the right for a page of further instructions.
|
|
<h3 id="newwallet">Starting a new wallet</h3>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Put all your written notes into the next empty "wallet":
|
|
(a transparent folder/envelope, also sometimes known as a "pocket") in this year's lever-arch file (the "wallet binder") 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>

|
|
</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.
|
|
<li>Now upload the scanned notes using the <a href="/walletedit/2022:01">Upload Scans</a> form.
|
|
Click on the wallet name to the right of the central name on the form
|
|
until you are centred on the wallet id of the plastic wallet you have put the notes into.
|
|
You can use either your own phone or a laptop connected to the potato hut scanner (instructions below). All you need is the 'expo' password.
|
|
<li>Now you will go on to do the data entry to make a survex file, but you will come back to these instructions when you
|
|
need to upload the hand-drawn sketches which you will do on top of the survex printed graphical centrelines.
|
|
</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.

<h3>The original notes and data</h3>
|
|
<p>The original paper 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>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h4>Electronic survey data</h4>
|
|
The same logic applies. Read the rest of these instructions from this point on as they do still apply to you.
|
|
More detailed electronic data archive instructions are <a href="#topo">lower down on this page</a>.
|
|
|
|
<h4>Paper notes</h4>
|
|
<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="existing">Check existing online wallets (surveyscans folders)</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>As well as looking through the other plastic wallets in this year's lever-arch binder, have a look online at
|
|
the <a href="/survey_scans/">list of all online wallets</a> and have a look at all the folders referred to
|
|
in your cave in, e.g. here is the survex data for <a href="/survexfile/290">cave 290</a>: the wallet identifier is
|
|
in the right-most column titles "Scans". (But this is not all the wallets, only those from which a survex file has been created).
|
|
If you are doing an entirely new cave, then this page won't exist yet but it
|
|
will be where your new discovery is eventually published. A more complete list of the wallets for
|
|
a cave is at <a href="/cave/scans/1623-290">cave 1623-290</a> and this shows the online tick-list data
|
|
as coloured boxes.
|
|
|
|
<p>There are also lists of the wallets per year, per cave and per person (surveyor),
|
|
e.g. see <a href="/wallets/year/2018">all the wallets for 2018</a>.
|
|
|
|
<p>As well as following through the links on those pages, have a look at the
|
|
<a href="/dwgfiles">drawings files page</a> which lists all the Tunnel and Therion files, and associated with each, the wallets and
|
|
their the scanned notes, plan and elevation scans ("Scan files" column).

<h3>Uploading the scanned files to the server</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Use the <a href="/walletedit/2022:01">Upload Scans</a> form
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Upload the scanned files from any computer with internet access using the <a href="/walletedit/2022:01">Upload Scans</a> form.
|
|
You will need to login as user 'expo' with the usual {cavy:beery} password.
|
|
<p>The form shows the files already uploaded in the online wallet, and you click on the very large "Choose files" button to open a file
|
|
chooser dialog where you can select several files at once to upload.
|
|
|
|
<p>Some of the tickboxes on the lower half of the form correspond to the tickboxes on <a
|
|
href="../l/walletindex.html">the paper index sheet</a> (shown in more detail <a
|
|
href="/expofiles/documents/surveying/surveyIndex2022.pdf">here</a>). Other tickboxes record whether it is a tiny cave
|
|
not worth surveying (no survex, plan or elevation required), a simple pit (no plan required) or a flat grovel (no
|
|
elevation required).
|
|
|
|

<em>Checkboxes on an online wallet<br>(click to enlarge)</em>
|

</figcaption>
|

</figure>
|
|
|
|
You can tick the "Cave description" checkbox when you have written the description in the survex file (see <a
|
|
href="cavedescription.html">Cave Description"</a>).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The QMs are written into the survex file as described in the <a href="qmentry.html">Adding QMs</a> handbook page.
|
|
|
|
<p>The "Website updated" checkbox is for later when you copy the description text from the survex
|
|
file into the Cave Description page of the online cave registration form. This is described in the <a
|
|
href="cavedescription.html">Cave Description"</a> page and on Step 6 of this survey process
|
|
<a href="caveentry.html">Creating a new cave in the online system</a>.
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin:4%">
|
|
[ Note that the paper form has 3 boxes for the survex
|
|
file: the numbers for the survey legs (data), the numbers for the LRUDs, and the description / QMs. The online form only has the QMs and a filename for the survex file. ]
|
|
|
|
<p>Scanned survey notes are voluminous and so are not kept in the version control system. So for safety, if you upload a file with the same name as one already there,
|
|
the upload process will add a random suffix to the filename. You will need to contact a nerd to confirm which one you want to keep.
|
|
|
|
<p>You will be using the expo laptop (or some other laptop in the potato hut connected to the scanner) to do the scanning
|
|
and you will need to put the scanned files somewhere before you upload them. So to avoid confusion, put them in the folder corresponding
|
|
to your wallet name, e.g. for
|
|
<a href="/survey_scans/2018%252319/">2018#19</a> put them in:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
/home/expo/expofiles/surveyscans/2018/2018#19/
|
|
</pre>
|
|
But then please upload them to the wallet on the server using the upload form. Don't just leave them on the expo laptop.
|
|
<p><a href="/walletedit/2018:19">This is what that wallet looks like</a> using
|
|
the <a href="/walletedit/2018:19">Upload Scans</a> form.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
If someone made a mistake and you are the nerd who needs to rename a file then be aware that this is much, much easier using
|
|
the <em>expo laptop</em>, but first, you should read the <a href="onlinewallet.html">online wallet maintainers' notes</a>
|
|
<br><br>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 you will need to learn how to use Filezilla <a href="../computing/uploading.html#init">(expo-relevant instructions here)</a>
|
|
to move and rearrange things on the server to match.
|
|
Please <em>only copy files to the server that you created yourself and which live in your own wallet folder</em>
|
|
<br><br>If you want to use your own laptop for complex rearrangements of files in the server's online wallets you need a
|
|
<a href="../computing/basiclaptop.html">minimal laptop setup</a>
|
|
- as <a href="../computing/uploading.html">documented for complex uploading your expo photographs</a>.
|
|
</code>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="rename">Renaming your uploaded files</h3>
|
|
<p>Just to the left of each filename in the list on the wallet upload form is a <b>"»"</b> symbol. Click on this and you get a webpage form which renames the file after it is uploaded to the server. The filename as uploaded is sanitized, so it may not be exactly as you uploaded it. But it is sanitized for a good reason: don't try to rename it back. All funny characters cause weird behaviour somewhere - so don't use them.
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="topo">Storing your electronic survey .topo files</h3>
|
|
<p>If you used a survey device, phone or PDA instead of making notes on paper, you need to store your .topo files, or whatever other format you have.
|
|
Put them in exactly the same place as a scanned survey sketch would go, but <em>also</em> write a paper note and put it in the plastic wallet in the
|
|
potato hut to prevent someone re-using that wallet number.
|
|
<p>As well as the native format <var>.swc</var> files produced by your Supa-Wunda Caving device,
|
|
<em>also</em> export the data into as many different 'standard' formats as possible,
|
|
zip them up into a file, and upload that too using the Upload Scans online form.
|
|
In 10 years (or less) when all that is left of Supa-Wunda Inc. is a dusty footnote to the pages of history
|
|
(or more likely a muddy brown smear on the pages of history)
|
|
we want to be able to read the data using whatever software we have available then.
|
|
|
|
<p>Note: some devices can export a survex file. This direct-export should be treated as raw data and should go into the wallet system (Upload Scans).
|
|
But you will also need to make an edited version of that survex data - complete with correct *ref, *team, ;QM and cave description text and upload that
|
|
to the survex file system.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
See the <a href="pdanotes.html">Survey Device specific instructions</a> for the different
|
|
sorts of devices we use and how to store the data of each format.
|
|
|
|
<p>If you are using the expo laptop, upload the .topo files using the <a href="/walletedit/2022:01">Upload Scans</a> form and also copy them to an ordinary <em>online</em> wallet
|
|
wallet, as there is no physical wallet,
|
|
e.g. for 2018#16 it would be:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
/home/expo/expofiles/surveyscans/2018/2018#16/
|
|
</pre>
|
|
in the same way as you do scanned notes or scanned survey sketches. (We used to use a different naming scheme for non-physical wallets, but that turned out to be both confusing and not necessary.)
|
|
|
|
<h4>Sub-folders and other problems</h4>
|
|
<p>Troggle scan upload does not allow you to create subfolders for scans or topo files. Either put all your files into one folder, and upload them from there, or find a nerd with a <var>basic laptop</var> who can interact directly with the version control system. Or email them to a nerd as below.
|
|
|
|
<p>If you are not in the potato hut and your screen is too small to use the upload form then email all the .topo files
|
|
to a friendly nerd (not necessarily on expo) who will upload them in the right place.
