<p>

|
|
<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.

</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="/scanupload/2021:01">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</h3>
|
|
<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="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 data for <a href="/survexfile/204">cave 204</a>: the wallet identifier is
|
|
in the right-most column titles "Scans". If you are doing an entirely new cave, then this won't exist yet but it
|
|
will be where your new discovery is eventually published.
|
|
<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).

<p style="margin-left:20px">[ Normal people should skip this,

but nerds need to look here

to understand 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 style="margin-left:20px">[ 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 !]
|
|
|
|
<h3>Uploading the scanned files to the server</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Use the <a href="/scanupload/2022:01">Upload Scans</a> form
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Upload the scanned files from any computer with internet access using the <a href="/scanupload/2022:01">Upload Scans</a> form.
|
|
You will need to login as user 'expo' with the usual {cavy:beery} password.
|
|
<p>The tickboxes on 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>). 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 and QMs. You should only tick the online form
|
|
'survex' box when all three have been done.
|
|
|
|
<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 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. Don't just leave them on the expo laptop.
|
|
<p><a href="/scanupload/2018:19">This is what that wallet looks like</a> using
|
|
the <a href="/scanupload/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="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.
|
|
Put them in exactly the same place as a scanned survey sketch would go, but also write a paper note and put it in the plastic wallet in the potato hut to prevent someone re-using that wallet number.
|
|
See the <a href="pdanotes">PDA specific instructions</a>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you are using the expo laptop just upload the .topo files using the <a href="/scanupload/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.)
|
|
|
|
<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.
