The Explorer Window is placed on the right side of the screen
and provides easy access to the workspace environments of the program. The
workspaces and their dependent menus are arranged in an intuitive tree with
roots on the left and branches on the right. To move from one environment to
the other select the appropriate item from the menu. When the Explorer Window
is closed or hidden, it may be brought forward by selecting Explorer Window
from the View menu or by clicking the
button on the toolbar.

Items available in the Explorer Window are different depending
on whether a Forward (Survey Design) or
Inversion project is in session. Since the forward menu is less
complicated, the inversion menu will be described. From the top to the bottom,
we find the following items:
Schedule
For a Data Inversion Project:
-
Import Syscal file provides access to a
component for importing IRIS BIN files.
-
Data set (file name): appears after a
Schedule has been input. This branch provides direct access to the Data Quality
Control Workspace for visualization of electrodes,
quadrapoles and measurements, quality
control operations, and generation of pseudo-plots of
apparent resistivity and IP.
In Survey Design mode the Import Syscal file
item is substituted by a Schedule Maker link to the Sequencer module.
Data Quality Control
Visualization of electrodes,
quadrapoles and measurements, quality
control operations, and generation of pseudo-plots of
apparent resistivity and IP.
Mesh and Resistivity/IP Model
-
Make Mesh: open the mesh workspace to
generate or manipulate mesh settings using a menu (rather than directly
entering the settings in the Configuration Settings).
-
Make Resistivity/IP Model: open the Model
Workspace to build a resistivity or IP model (assign
background + insert anomalies).
Anomalies are not usually inserted for an inversion,
however an appropriate background should be assigned. Anomalies are
typically used for forward modeling.
-
Export Mesh and Resistivity Model: export the
generated mesh and resistivity model including
the background region.
-
-
Import Mesh and Model: import a
mesh and a resistivity model that has
been saved using the export functions above.
-
-
Data Inversion (or Forward
Modeling for Survey Design)
-
DI workspace (or FM workspace
for Survey Design): open the Data Inversion workspace (or the Forward modeling
workspace). This is the master window that provides controsl for data
input, saving output and running the models.
-
Forward solver set up: set up of the main
forward parameters (pcg solver tolerance, iterations, boundary conditions,
...).
-
Inverse solver set up (for Data Inversion
only): set up of the main inversion parameters (number of iterations,
roughness, weights, ...).
Sensitivity Analysis
SA workspace: open the Sensitivity analysis
workspace.
