Once the file is selected, click on Open and the data file will loaded and data statistics will
be calculated. When the data is loaded from a selected file, different drop windows are shown
to select different types of data. Colored area of the display is used for graphic data
presentation.
There is an option to view file header (ASCII part of the source file) with menu item File
Header that is under menu File.
3.2. CHANNEL DATA SELECTION3.2.1. Numerical channel
Select channel drop
window (Channel selector)
allows the user to select
any recorded numerical
channel. Selected datachannel is presented in
graphic form in the upper
part of the colored part of
the display. If the data is a
multiple reading per
second type graph displays
the first reading for each
second. If the data is a
spectrum type then sum of
all readings in the second
is displayed, since thegraph is designed to
display 300 seconds of
continuous data.
To see individual samples within one second, place the mouse on any point of the graph
and internal samples will be shown in the lower part of the colored area. To observe the data
over the entire file use
the scroll bar on the
bottom part of the
colored area.
Statistics of the
data file (start, end, and
current record number)
are displayed on the left
hand side of the display.
Selected channel
information is also
displayed (min, max
and current value). Data
graph scale can be
adjusted for proper
viewing.

All files in a group suppose to have the same data channels. In case if some channels
are not found in an input file the warning will appear.
If any files in a group have invalid structure they will not be processed. All valid data files will
be exported.
NOTE: If a spectral channel that is recorded twice per second is exported to Geosoft or ASCII
format two columns will be generated for this channel: readings for the first half of a secondand readings for the second half of a second.
3.3.2. Export into ASCII formatASCII format export is similar to Geosoft format export but simpler. After all necessary
channels are selected dialog for output record range will appear. Record range can be selected
by record number. If Record channel data is not accurate selection is made by scan number
(scan number starts from 1). If export is successful .txt file will be created.
3.3.3. Spectrum ExportThere is provision for spectrum ASCII export with some options. Click on Spectrum
Output item in the Data Export menu:
Spectrum ASCII output dialog will appear:

After menu Magnetic Compensation is clicked, list with available channels will appear. User
should select raw magnetometer data channels for compensation. Note that the number of
selected channels has to match with the number of sensors in coefficients file.
If OK button is clicked dialog will come out:
User has to select coefficients file and all required channels. X coordinate and Y coordinate are
used to calculate heading for each data point to pick up then appropriate set of coefficients.
Three fluxgate channels and altitude channel have to be selected. Altitude channel is not used in
calculation but it is reserved for possible future use. The user can pick up any channel in Altitude
combo box (ex. RECS channel). If all channels selected properly press OK button and, after
compensation is finished, message will appear:

PEIView Program Rev.: 5.2
Compensated file has the same name as source data file plus prefix C_. It contains additional
channels that are compensated magnetometer data channels. First letter in channel name is
changed to P. For example, if two raw data channels were compensated: RMg1, RMg2 then
compensated file will contain two additional channels: PMg1, PMg2. If open created file it is
possible to compare corresponding channels:
Red graph RMg1: raw
magnetometer data channel;
Blue graph PMg1:
compensated data channel.
If there is several source data files that have the same channel structure and can be compensated
using the same coefficients file it is possible to apply group magnetic compensation. This menu
item is enabled if no file is opened.
After Group Magnetic Compensation menu item is clicked Open Dialog box will appear where
user can select group of files (with Shift or Ctrl key):

Rev.: 5.2 PEIView Program
After files are chosen user have to select channels to compensate from the same list as it
was in case of magnetic compensation for one file. And then select coefficients file and all
necessary channels. If all settings are correct, after compensation was completed message will
come out:
Note that all files selected for group magnetic compensation must have the same channel
structure, otherwise compensated data will be incorrect or error message will appear:
3.5. DATA CORRECTIONIt is possible to have simple data correction when one second data wasnt accurate or it was
lost. For example GPS data might be lost or spectrometer data might be received 0.4 second late
and the next second 0.4 second earlier. Sometimes it may happen and simple data correction may
help.
3.5.1. Record channel correctionTo make correction open file in which wrong data was found. Go to menu Correction and
choose item Check Record numbers. This is first step that must be made for data correction.

If Record channel data is not accurate message will come up:
If OK is pressed Record channel data will be
corrected and whole file with corrected Record channel
will be saved into new file that has name similar to
source file name but is extended with _C00:
In case if Record channel is correct the
following message will appear:
3.5.2. Selecting channels and records for correctionAfter Record channel is checked and corrected if necessary next step is to select channels.
Click menu item Select channels that is under menu Correction. Dual list with available
channels on the left side will appear. Choose
channels that have wrong data at the same second
and press OK. For example, on the following
picture all GPS channels have wrong data in 3173
record.

When channels for correction are selected it is necessary to select records where selected data
have to be corrected. Record selection is made by double clicking on the graph image on the main
form in an appropriate spot. When graph image is clicked dialog box will appear. Chosen record
number is shown in a spin window; related value of a selected on the main form channel is also
displayed. It is possible to increase or decrease record
number by pressing corresponding arrow in a spinwindow, current value will be displayed according to
record number.
This dialog box is also used to select values that
will be applied for correction of selected channels.
Values from the next record or from the previous
record might be taken for correction; average value
between next and previous record can be also
calculated. Press OK when all selections in dialog box
are correct.
If other records for currently selected channels need to be corrected double click on the graphimage again. Values for correction (next, previous or average) must be the same for all chosen
record numbers.
Note: There is no possibility to correct the first record and the very last record of the file. Use
Save Data File Copy instead.
3.5.3. Saving corrected fileIf channels and record numbers are chosen click on menu item Save copy with
correction. Corrected copy will be saved into file that has name similar to source file name but
extended with _C0A; final message will appear:
If this newly saved file needs further correction it has to be opened and procedures 3.5.2 and
3.5.3 have to be repeated. Names for consecutive corrected files will be created as following:
OldName_C0A,
OldName_C0B,
OldName_C0C
File
extension remains the same.
3.6. EASTING AND NORTHING RECALCULATIONIf UTM projection was used for the survey and survey area crosses zone boundary it might
be useful to recalculate X and Y coordinates using another CM or using False CM. Recalculate
X, Y coordinates option creates two new channels: Xcalc, Ycalc and saves them into a new
file. Original file is not corrupted. When Recalculate X, Y coordinates is clicked:

Dose rate channel and concentration for Thorium, Potassium, and Uranium will be
calculated as new channels DoseR (nGyph), ctTh (pct), ctU (ppm), ctK (ppm). They will be
saved into a new file along with all existing channels. New file name will be created by adding
_ct suffix to the original file name:
If Dose Rate and Concentration are calculated for an accumulated file which was recorded
by PGIS system, accumulation time will be retrieved from the file header and from the
Accumulation time channel Atm (if exists). Dose rate and Th, U, K concentrations will be
calculated and saved into a file. The format is average value per second.
3.7.1. Batch Concentration and DoseThe Batch Concentration and Dose option requires PEIView to have no open files. Click
on Batch concentration and Dose in the Tools menu.
Select files by holding down the Ctrl or Shift key in appeared Dose and Concentration

Scrolling is synchronized on both forms: main form and extra view.
If ASCII channel is selected on the main form its value is shown also in Extra View windowon the title bar (Line50 value for Line channel on the picture above).
There is an option that allows choosing which value to display for each graph. Click the right
button on required graph setup area and context menu will appear. The menu consists of two
groups of items. The first group determines the value that is going to be represented by the trace
point:
The first readingwithin a second;
Average value for asecond;
Maximum valuewithin a second;
Minimum valuewithin a second;
Sum of all thevalues in a second;
Extremal - linebetween min and
max values within
a second;
Distinction - value1 if sum of readings
for a second equal
sum of readings for the previous second ; value 0 otherwise;

The second group allows choosing between three options:
Normal presenting data as is; First DD presenting the first digital derivative of data; Fourth DD presenting the fourth digital derivative of data.First DD and Fourth DD functions are disabled for Distinction and Extremal modes.
By default Normal and First reading items are chosen for all graphs but spectra. Normaland Sum are default values for spectra.
Two more functions were added for representing data: Gradient and Vector.
Gradient is a difference between two channels data. These channels must have thesame sampling per second and units.
Vector is calculated for fluxgate channels.
When Gradient
menu item is clicked
dialog box will
appear to choose
channel to calculate
gradient. Only
appropriate channelswill be shown:
When channel is selected and OK button is pressed
gradient calculation will appear on the graph.
For vector calculation the first fluxgate channel have to
be chosen for the graph and then menu item Vector isclicked. This channel and the next two channels will be taken for vector calculation. If
inappropriate channel was chosen error message will appear:
If the Separate graphs checkbox is checked, positioning of the mouse pointer on the graph
sample produces display of all the data within this second. It is shown in the lower part of the

To close Extra View window use the Close button on upper right corner of this window or
uncheck Extra View checkbox on the main form. All the information about graphs is saved. If
Extra View is reopened within working with the same data file, all the saved graphs will be
displayed. They will also be displayed if another data file from the same folder is opened. This
file is supposed to have the same data structure.
After application is closed all setups for main form and for Extra View window is saved. Ifdata file from the same folder is opened in the next session all graphs will be displayed.
3.10. DATA FILE COPYUsing menu item Save Data File Copy user can save copy of the source file. When this
option is chosen first step is to select channels for file copy. All channels or part of them may
be selected. Selection is made
from dual list that comes out:
Next is to choose target directory and record
range for output file. The following dialog is used
for this purpose:
In case if Record channel data is not
accurate this dialog will display scan number
instead of record number.
Output file extention will be .cpy, file
name will be generated as: OldFileName + _ + OldFileExtention. When copy is savedmessage will appear:

3.11. JOINING BINARY FILESBinary files that have the same channel structure can be joined into one file. If during a
survey several consecutive files were recorded joining might be useful to view for example full
survey path. To join files use menu item Join Binary Files:
Select files to join in Open File dialog box. To select multiple files use Shift or Ctrl key.
By default selected files will be arranged by file names (PEI binary file names include timewhen file was created). The user can choose the other order: by record numbers. To change the
sorting order use menu item Options under menu Tools before joining files:
After files are joined message similar to following will come out:
Extension for the joined file is .P99;
name is the same as name for the first file in a
sequence.
The maximum number of files to join is 45.
3.12. ASCII IMPORTUser can import data file that has an ASCII format and create PEI binary data file using
ASCII Import menu option:
ASCII file to be
imported should have
colomn structure where
the first row consist of
column headers:

The first six coefficients are the stripping ratios.
Alpha, Beta, Gamma are ratios of counts in a lower energy window to those in a higher
energy window:
Alpha : Th into U Beta : Th into K Gamma : U into K
A, B, G are ratios of counts detected in a high energy window to those detected in a low
energy window (the reverse stripping ratios): A : U into Th B : K into Th G : K into U
Ksens, Usens, Tsens are the window sensitivities for infinite sources.
Volume is the volume of the detector.
