OR DEALING WITH “DON’T WORRY, HE’LL
FIGURE IT OUT.” , WHEN YOU ARE THE HE.
Field Lab Setup
Field Lab Problems
Old, limited computer (WYSIWYG)No InternetNew XRF toolRotating field lab technicians“SOP?, that’s in the SOP?”
Tool Needs
Automatic custom EDD importingAutomatic dig decisions, based on:
Average of XRF readings XRF readings Average of XRF readings/lab results XRF readings/lab results
Sample trackingLimited sample info edits
(if they can’t touch it they can’t break it)
Export Needs
Instant XRF based dig decisionsDaily exports for large exceedancesMonthly exports of XRF readings and lab
results(trump and maximum)
Property exports of XRF readings and lab results
Great, so . . .
How did we do it?
DB Entry
Data Manager creates houses, DUs, locations, and samples
(pretty boring stuff here, not going to bore you)
Sample Tracking
Lab tech puts in field data
Sample Tracking
XRFing & Processing
We want to see if a given DU should be dug down Z or Z + a bit, so we start at the bottom
After XRFing all of one depth we check

Sample Analysis
What’s up, doc?
Sample Analysis
Dig Decision
XRF is all well and good what is the decision?The DDT only calculates a dig decision when
all samples were available.
Dig Decision
Export - Daily
Export - Monthly
Export - Property
