Software

The GeoCube comes with a complete and user-friendly data analysis software package.

The GeoCube outputs TC test data into a .csv file that readily is imported into the included PC-based software. With a laptop, data analysis can be performed on-site.

The software provides for maximum data flexibility in the data analysis process. It not only calculates soil property results but also analyzes the data for consistency and quality.

The software can recognize significant data aberrations (such as a fluctuating power supply, the presence of groundwater contamination, etc.) and provide this information to the user.

In addition, it is a straightforward process to analyze the data over different time frames (10-40 hours, 20-40 hours, etc), which is quite useful when a test specification requires that such analysis be performed.

The software outputs a full professional report that includes multiple color graphs.

RESULTS

The Results Panel both displays the empirically-derived thermal conductivity test results as well as analyzes the overall data quality based off of user-defined threshold values. Users can easily adjust the calculation interval and determine the optimal time period for a particular test.

GRAPHS

The program automatically graphs the data necessary to determine the conductivity. The program graphs both the raw data and the calculated curves, enabling designers to determine which analysis time period is optimal for each test.

BORE DATA

In the Bore Panel, users enter info related to the borehole and drilling method.

FLOW DATA

In this panel, users can view the GeoCube's flow-pressure coefficients.

DIFFUSIVITY

In the Diffusivity Panel, users can estimate and calculate the thermal diffusivity.

GENERAL INFORMATION

In the Information Panel, users enter project-specific information that is included in the professional reports.
