VSP Version 5.9 Release Notes
(Changes since version 5.4.2)
Sampling Designs
- Added designs to support transect sampling for radiological applications. This work built upon the methodologies developed for the UXO designs.
- Transect spacing needed to locate a hot spot. This design computes the transect spacing needed to traverse a hot spot of a specified size and shape. Includes on-line help and report generator.
- Locate and mark hot spots. This design locates hot areas from survey data. It contains tools for automatically or manually delineating hot areas and providing statistics for those areas. Includes graphs, on-line help and report generator.
- Geostatistical analysis. This design uses kriging to locate hot areas from survey data. It contains tools for automatically or manually delineating hot areas and providing statistics for those areas. Includes on-line help.
- Post-survey probability of sampling in a hot spot. This design uses a Monte-Carlo simulation to determine the probability that a particular survey pattern would traverse a hot spot of a specified size, shape and orientation. Includes on-line help and report generator.
- Combined all the Presence / Absence designs into a single dialog
- Added Non-Parametric Confidence Interval design
- Added Group Comparison / ANOVA tool
- Added Non-Detect support to Trend designs
- Added Outlier Test to Trend designs
- Made improvements to Combined Judgment Random design
- Added Probability and Uncertainty Maps to geostatistical analysis module
User Interface
- Redesigned Data Entry page and data import process. The new design enables users to specify mappings on the fly to provide maximum flexibility to import tabular data.
- Added Layer Control for managing Map Layers, Sample Area Selection and View Settings.
Maps
- Added support for Z-Offset when loading SHP or DXF files.
- Improvements to Zoom-In and Zoom-Out tools.
Miscellaneous
- Added Properties Window for viewing project properties (currently for Sample Areas only).
- Improved 3D View support for multiple layers / multiple floors.
- Improved 3D View support for displaying sample point shapes / symbols.
- Improved loading of background picture to scale correctly for system settings.
- New data import/export plug-in support to facilitate data transfer between other applications. Added a BROOM and SCRIBE plug-ins.
