| << | >> |


This form provides a guide to the ERTLab Solver working environment. If the program has not yet been installed please follow the procedures for installation.  At any time you may review the glossary of terminology and the command reference.

The ERTLab Solver is organized in a series of menus. A toolbar is available for easy navigation through basic tasks. The Explorer Window provides a more detailed graphical navigation method. The ERTLab Solver is subdivided into a series of workspaces designed for the tasks typically encounted in ERT. These are:

1. Electrodes Workspace
    The electrodes workspace provides a listing of electrode locations. Editing of locations, and type (borehole, surface and remote) are available. The electrodes can be viewed in 3D.

2. Data Quality Control Workspace
    The Quality control workspace provides reciprocal checks, thresholds and simple selections to ensure that only high quality data are used for inversion.

3. Mesh and Resistivity/IP model workspaces
    The mesh and resistivity / IP model workspaces provide user-friendly menus to help with creation of the mesh, forward models and inverse starting models.

4. Inversion Workspace
    The inversion workspace presents a parameter list, data entry and start and stop buttons for inversion.

5. Forward Modeling Workspace (Survey Design)
    The forward modeling workspace presents a parameter list, data entry and start and stop buttons for forward modeling (hypothesis testing and survey design).

6. Sensitivity Workspace
    The sensitivity workspace provides the user the tools to perform the sensitivity analysis for each quadrupole.
