Softrock Manuals Overview

Softrock has produced a range of manuals to assist the user of its systems and software to gain the
most from these products. Each manual has a unique numbering system, which allows for easy
cross-referencing.
Module Number Content

Module 2 AutoSlope Manual

Module 3 QuikCom Manual
Module 4 Softrock Automated site – At A Glance

Module 5 AutoSlope Installation Manual
Module 6 Leica Onboard Slope Monitoring Manual

Module 7 FieldSat Manual
Module 8 AutoSat Manual

Module 9 ATS Pocket PC Manual
Module 10 Analyzer Manual
Module 11 QuikSlope5 Manual

A quick example of cross-referencing
Module 2 Autoslope Manual

Index number 2.15.3.1 Instrument Settings
Refers to Module 2; Chapter 15; Section 3, Subsection 1.
This cross-referencing scheme can be easily be used across any Softrock manual. For example in
Module 1 QuikSlope v4 Manual, 1.2.1.4 Database creation.
We regularly make use of cross-referencing to other manuals within our software collection. This
avoids repetition, and makes for easy updating, and provides an efficient method to record
information. It is therefore important the user understands this unique numbering system, as all the
information for our programs cannot fit into one single manual.

Quikslope5 Manual
11.1.0 Overview
QuikSlope5 is a tool created for geo-technical personnel and surveyors. It provides a mean for
reporting of surveying data in the monitoring of target prisms. Coordinates are calculated with
AutoSlope automatic instrument control software. The data is stored in a Microsoft SQL 2005
database. All data is accessible either through the tools within QuikSlope5 using the export facilities in
QuikSlope5, or by using the SQL Manager (or SQL Express Manager) directly to manipulate/export
data.
Note: That the Analyzer program is the forerunner of QuikSlope5. Analyzer was freely
distributed and is no longer supported. Note also, that Leica have a product called Analyzer,
which is a very basic graphing tool.
11.1.0.1 QuikSlope5 and QuikSlope 4

QuikSlope5 is an upgrade from QuikSlope 4 as the analytical tool for graphical and plan data. It is
envisaged that both programs will operate side by side during the transition period. QuikSlope 4 is
based on a MS Access database while QuikSlope5 uses an SQL database.
• MS Access to MS SQL database;

• No data in SQL is deleted. QuikSlope5 keeps data integrity;
• Graph points (spikes) can be marked as invisible;
• Graph jumps can be marked as invisible;
• Full CAD capability with presentation features;
• Flexible data filtering for graphing and reporting;
• Areas are replaced by clusters which are much more flexible than QuikSlope 4 areas. A prism
can live in many clusters
• QuikSlope5 has an inactive prism function that can automatically reduce the clutter in prism
management.
Data sources for Quikslope5 can be one or more of the following:

• Leica GeoMoS automated monitoring data
• Manual data import
• Autoslope automated monitoring data

Quikslope5 Manual
11.1.0.5 QuikSlope5 Database Structure

The Quikslope5 SQL database structure is based on the Leica GeoMoS 5.3 database structure. It is
different in that it has extra tables. This SQL database is SQL 2005 and SQL 2008 compliant.
Typically, a Quikslope5 database is stored on a central SQL server, so that multiple users can access
it.
11.1.0.6 AutoSync Service

Automated field data collected by AutoSlope or GeoMoS is handled by this service application to
transfer data to the Quikslople5 database. It operates by setting a time period (like 10 minutes) to
transfer the data.
11.1.0.7 QuikSlope5 Data Source using Autoslope (Autosync continuous)

Automated field data collected by Softrock’s AutoSlope, is stored in MS Access databases. The
Autosync service can be configured to run a historic transfer of all data, and then run periodic
transfers to “top up” the data.
11.1.0.8 QuikSlope5 Data Source using GeoMoS (Autosync continuous)

Automated field data collected by Leica GeoMoS, is stored in a local SQL Express database. This
typically sits on the GeoMoS computer and is unavailable to outside users. The Autosync service can
be configured to run a historic transfer of all data, and then run periodic transfers to “top up” the data.
11.1.0.9 QuikSlope5 Data Source using GeoMoS directly

This method of transferring GeoMoS data to Quikslope5 data is not recommended for on-going
projects. It is best to use Autosync as the transfer vehicle.
However, if we start a Quikslope5 project using a Leica GeoMoS database as the data source,
Quikslope5 will recognise that it is a Leica GeoMoS, and copy the database in Quikslope5 format,
adding “_q5” as a suffix to the name. This is a very fast method and is ideal for GeoMoS users who
wish to experience Quikslope5 without going through Autosync installation.
We expect to have an “update from Geomos data” option available in Quikslope5.4.
11.1.0.10 QuikSlope5 License

See 11.10.1.0 Licensing Quikslope5
Demo License. The first installation of Quikslope5 on your computer will be a 60 day demo. You
have 60 days to try out the full software. You can decide to license the software or it will revert to a
Lite version after 60 days has expired.
Full License. When you decide to purchase Quikslope5, you can license the product on line. The full
version will revert to a lite version when the maintenance subscription comes due.
Lite License. The demo version will revert to a lite licence. This version will not allow any changes to
the database. So many options are unavailable. You can only view data.

11.1.2.1 Project Administration

QuikSlope5 requires that an SQL server is available to use. You can install MS SQL Express if there
is none available. GeoMoS will install SQL Express anyway. However, there is a huge advantage in
using a dedicated SQL server that is located in a central location for users on and off site.
Click on the appropriate icon for ‘New Project’, ‘Edit Project’ and ‘Load Project’.
The functionality of each of these is detailed below. It is noted that the order of
these appear as mentioned above, however for discussion purposes we will
start with ‘New Project’.
11.1.2.2 Project Admin - New Project

The administration window called “New Project” can be used to set up your new project
details.
Note: After creating a new project, you must also LOAD the project. See 11.1.2.4
Note: Prior to setting up a new project, you must have created a new SQL database using
Autosync or manual users can use the “Create New Database” facility.
Diagram 7: Project Admin – New Project
The following addresses each of the fields in the New Project window:
• Project name: Choose a unique name for your project. It is noted that the project name can be
different from the actual database name.
• Date format: Select a date format to be used. All dates will be displayed using this format.
• Angle format: Select the angle format to be utilised. Angles will be displayed in this format.
Choose ‘Decimal Degrees’ or ‘Deg, Min, Sec’.

Page 15 of 115
Quikslope5 Manual
• Active/Inactive time period: This is the period that will deactivate a prism if there are no
readings for ‘xx’ days. Note that prisms will be re-activated if there is a reading after de-
activation.
• Check inactive prisms: If the box is ticked, then prisms will be checked for active status every
time that you start QuikSlope5. If this box is un-ticked, then this status can still be checked
manually.
• Report inactivity period: (for Prism Movement Report). Will mark any prisms with no activity
for ‘xx’ days with ‘**’. This item has nothing to do with Active/Inactive prisms. See section
11.2.7.3 for an explanation.
• Maximum Velocity Cut-off: This facility will ensure that no calculated velocity will exceed this
value.
• Merge/Split threshold: This is the threshold used for this special tool used to maintain prism
integrity. It is possible for the same prism to be named as two different prisms over the life of a
project. See 11.7.1
• Number of Inverse Sample: When graphing the inverse graphs, you can use this default
value to use to calculate a Linear Regression to the zero axis point. This value can be changed
dynamically from the graph as well. See the Right Click Menu.
SQL Server Details:

• Server Name: User can use the pulldown to browse for the SQL server name.
• Authentication Type:
o SQL Server Authentication requires
User name: analyser
Password: an4lyz3r— where last 2 characters are minus “-“ character.
o Windows. Try this method first and if it fails then use SQL authentication.
• Refresh button: Use this to populate the pull-down list for the “Database Name”.
• Database Name: Name of the database. This will normally already exist because it has
been created by Autosync. If you choose a GeoMoS database directly, Quikslope5 will not
use this as a source database, but will give you the option to copy to another name with the
suffix of “_q5”.
• Create New Database: This facility will be used by users starting a fresh new project. Often
used with manually collected data. Enter SQL server name, database name.

Page 16 of 115
Quikslope5 Manual
• Advanced Settings: We recommend that these settings are untouched as the default. These
settings can help immensely where there are bad connections to the SQL server. See your IT
personnel.
Diagram 8: SQL Connection Settings
Cad Parameters:
• CAD project drawing: This is a ‘.vdml’ type file. See section 11.3.1 for an explanation of these
and their use.
• Prism shape: This is either a circle, square or triangle.
• Prism Colour: You can use the button to change the default value.
• Prism Name Colour: You can use the button to change the default value.
• CAD background colour: Select either black or white.
• Save: Click this to save this new project.

Note: Clicking the Activate Cluster button will graph all prisms in cluster
Note: Clicking the Activate Prism button will graph only this prism

Page 22 of 115
Quikslope5 Manual
11.1.4.3.1 2D Vector Movement

2d = Sqr(dN * dN + dE * dE)
The 2D vector movement refers to the calculated join distance from the current XY position compared
to the start XY position. Note that heights are NOT taken into consideration here. Also note that there
would be an expectation for these values to continuously grow if movement is in the expected
direction. Note also that the accuracy of 2D movement will depend on the angular accuracy of the
survey (unless GNSS is used).
Diagram 16A: 2D Vector Movement
11.1.4.3.2 3D Vector Movement

3D = Sqr(dN * dN + dE * dE + dRL * dRL)
This is similar to 2D but does take heights into account.
11.1.4.3.3 XYZ Movement

dN = Northing Now – Northing @ start. Called delta north or difference north.
dE = Easting Now – Easting @ start
dRL = Height Now – Height @ start
The XYZ movement graph has 3 series for each prism. dN, dE and dRL. XYZ graphs are handy
when trying to see what part of an XYZ movement is greater.
11.1.4.3.4 Field Data

Field data has 3 series for each prism. It shows horizontal angle, vertical angle and adjusted slope
distance. This graph can be handy when fault finding.
11.1.4.3.5 Unadjusted Distance

This distance is the distance produced by the measuring sensor before any adjustments are made.
The graph value is expressed as a delta movement from start position distance.

Page 23 of 115
Quikslope5 Manual
11.1.4.3.6 Adjusted Distance

This distance is the distance produced by the measuring sensor after adjustments are made. These
adjustments are usually required by applying corrections (PPM) for temperature and pressure. The
graph value is expressed as a delta movement from start position distance.
Note the diagrams below show that distance movements are only relevant when measuring in line
with expected movement.
Diagram 17B: Distance Movement. Good sensor position.
Diagram 18C: Distance Movement. Bad sensor position.

Quikslope5 Manual
11.1.4.3.7 Adjusted/Unadjusted Distance

This graph simply shows both unadjusted and adjusted distances together. This is handy when you
wish to see how much influence the atmospherics have on the sensor readings. You should see a
considerable smoothing of adjusted data when compared to unadjusted.
11.1.4.3.8 2D 24 Hour Velocity

Velocities are extremely handy to see rapid changes in movement. 2D velocity calculation will:
• Compare 2D movement now
• With 2D movement 24 hours ago. It will find a movement at least 24 hours previous, and
calculate difference in movement divided by time between readings
• Display as mm per day
11.1.4.3.9 SD 24 Hour Velocity (distance velocity)

Velocities are extremely handy to see rapid changes in movement. SD velocity calculation will:
• Compare adjusted distance movement now
• With adjusted distance movement 24 hours ago. It will find a movement at least 24 hours
previous, and calculate difference in movement divided by time between readings
• Display as mm per day
• SD velocity is the most accurate but must be
11.1.4.3.10 Inverse Velocity

Inverse velocities for 2D, 3D and SD refer to 2D movement, 3D movement and SD (distance)
movement. The inverse is applied to all Y values to produce an inverse graph. By applying a linear
regression line through a selected group at the end of the data, and extending to the zero Y axis, then
an expected failure date can be achieved.
Diagram 19D: Inverse Velocity Graph.

Changing the size of the data number will change the gradient of the
regression line.
To try various scenarios, use the right click menu on the graph, and
click on the “Configure Inverse Data” item.
You will be presented with an input window below, where you can
enter a new value.

11.1.4.4 Prism Clusters

Prism clusters are similar to the old QuikSlope areas. Clusters are basically a group of prisms that can
denote a geographical zone or a geological structure. Select a cluster will filter the available prisms in
the prism list. If you use the Activate button, then all prisms will be graphed.
Diagram 22: Prism Clusters
Note: Clicking the Activate button will graph all prisms in the cluster.
11.1.4.5 Prism Selection

The prism you wish to graph will be selected here. Use the refresh button (circled in red Diagram 12)
to activate. This action will graph the selected prism. Use the Cluster select to change prism list.

11.1.4.6 Graph Shaped & Raw Data

Quikslope5 users can edit the data without changing the
original raw data. Data steps and spikes can be removed and the
new dataset is called "SHAPED" while the original is called
"RAW". Both can be viewed. You must be aware of what you are
graphing. We would normally graph “shaped” data which means that
the following situation is normal:
Following icons should be showing

You are viewing SHAPED data.
Following icons should NOT be showing

You are viewing RAW data.
Diagram 24: Raw Shaped Data Indicator
11.1.4.7 Why view RAW and SHAPED?

This is for Quality Control. Raw data is NOT affected by any edit. It is only flagged so that the
alternative SHAPED can be viewed. The shaped data is changeable. Raw data is unchangeable and
is the basis of prudent data management.
Why not just view RAW data? Well, this is really the best approach, but in the real world, it can
become unpractical. For example, if there is a spike (outlier) in the graph, the graph can become
impossible to discern what is happening where it counts. The same applies to data jumps.
So why put up with data spikes and data jumps? Again, in the real world, there are things that happen
that can radically affect the data. Here are some of these instances:
• A real movement of the prism. Prisms can and do get knocked by falling rocks or whatever. Is
this prism a one-off jump or do all the prisms in the group have this jump. Action: check all
prisms in the group and if all prisms show this jump then it is probably related to a change in
the listed items below.
• Control xyz changes in the instrument station or REF pillar. Subtle changes probably won’t
have any significant affect, but a large jump will cause a correspondingly large jump in prism
results. Be careful when using newly surveyed control results. Action: compare survey results
with previous surveyed results. Remember that coordinates being used for monitoring may
have been adjusted from the previous survey results. Compare apples with apples.
• A different instrument is being used. In a perfect world all instruments will perform equally
well. The reality is that instruments do get jarred in transport, and this mostly affects the
vertical angles. The vertical circle has a mechanical plumbing device that can easily get out of
adjustment. Action: run on-board calibration software.
• The instrument station has suffered some influence that has caused it to go out of level. This
affects horizontal and vertical angles. Action: a visit to the instrument station to physically
check the pillar and the instrument for possible damage or pillar movement.
• A prism or prism holder change at the REF prism. A change in prism type or prism holder can
have a dramatic affect on all prisms. The worst scenario is a change in bearing to the REF will
affect all bearings to all prisms. Another bad affect is the instrument picking up a different
prism each time. This causes the vertical angle to “jump” from REF reading to REF reading
and so affecting the elevation of all prisms. Action: do not use a prism tree or cluster as a REF
prism. Use a single geodetic prism in a prism holder. Softrock has available small plastic signs
that can be attached to the REF. These simply warn people not to touch this equipment as
prism monitoring will be affected.

Page 28 of 115
Quikslope5 Manual
• A change in instrument pillar position. This is a normal event in mining where cutbacks are
happening. This will have a significant change in distances but XYZ coordinates should not
be changed too much.
• A change in REF prism pillar. When a new REF prism is used, there can often be a
discrepancy in bearings between the two REF prisms (old & new). Action: treat the new REF
as another new prism and measure it as a prism over a few hours to get a good position. This
position should be used as the monitoring xyz control value and the surveyed xyz position
should be recorded and compared with previous survey results.
11.1.5.1 Graph Multiple Prisms by Cluster

Note that original raw data is never changed. Individual spiked points can be flagged as invisible, and
steps in data can be flagged as invisible. We call this changed data as SHAPED. Shaped data is
much easier to work with. “Nonsense” graphs can take on a whole new life. Note the same prism
graphed below. Raw data graph first and shaped graph below it.

Quikslope5 Manual
11.2.1.1 Remove Spike Points (Right Click)

At some stage there will be a spike in the data. To remove a spike, the data record is not deleted, but
flagged as an invisible point. This way, the original data is kept intact. Graphs can be plotted with or
without spikes.
Diagram 30: Remove Spike Points - Spike in the Data
It is noted that these invisible points can be shown or excluded depending on your preference. The
following process details how to include or exclude these spikes.
1. Hover the cursor over the point to be

“excluded”. This is to ensure that you have
the correct point and to ensure that the
correct menu list will be displayed.

11.2.1.2 Remove Points (Toolbar)

As well as using the right click method, some may prefer to use the toolbar buttons. To remove a
spike
1. Left click on point to hide. It will change colour. This is termed the “current point”.
2. Click on “Include/Exclude” current point button. This will hide the point.
3. If it is not hidden, you may need to ensure you are viewing shaped data. See 11.1.4.6
Graph Shaped & Raw Data
11.2.1.3 Re-establish Points (Toolbar)

A hidden point can be re-established as a normal point by using the same technique as above. When
clicking on the “current point”, it must be already marked as a “marked point” with placeholder icon.
11.2.1.4 Remove Multiple Points (Toolbar)

We can tag multiple points as hidden points by using the following steps:

Quikslope5 Manual
11.2.2.1 Remove Steps (Right click)
Diagram 35: Remove Steps - Step in the Data
Often in your project there will be a step in the data. This is often caused by survey problems including
changes of instrument or control, or the prism may have been knocked by a loose rock, and this
movement is not really a stress movement. To remove a step, the data record is not deleted, but
flagged as a step. This way, the original data is kept intact for database integrity. These steps can be
shown or excluded depending on your preference.
nd nd
1. To remove the step we have to access the 2 point in the step. In the example, this 2 point is
a little difficult to see clearly, so we will need to zoom into the point first. Click on the zoom icon
nd
in the graph toolbar and zoom in on the 2 point of the step. Refer to Diagram 17.
Note: That graph zooming starts at the centre of the zoom window

Page 38 of 115

2. Now the zoomed window is available. Note the panning grips to the left and bottom of graphs.
This allows you to move to the desired point on the graph. Refer to Diagram below.
Diagram 36: Remove Steps - Scrolling Grips
nd
3. Hover the cursor over the 2 point to ensure that you “have” the point (it will display prism
name and data). Now right click and select “Remove step”.
4. A data input box will appear. You can enter the reason for the jump, or otherwise leave it blank.
This description can be shown on graphs as “Show events” item. See section 11.2.3.3 for
further details.

11.2.2.2 Remove Single Step (Toolbar)

Steps can be removed by using the toolbar as well. Simply highlight the current point to be removed,
ie the point after the step by left clicking on that point.
nd
1. Left click on step point (2 point) to highlight as the “current point”. You may have to use the
zoom icon on the graph toolbar.
Diagram 40: Remove Single Step
2. Once the “current point” is highlighted with a left click of the mouse, then use the
“Remove/Revert step current point” icon to remove step.
Note: That to remove a step, the current point needs to be the second point in the step.

11.2.2.3 Remove Steps Automatically (Toolbar)

Steps can be removed automatically by using the “Remove steps over” icon. This tool will
remove ALL steps on the graph.
1. Click on the “Remove steps over” icon.
Diagram 41: Remove Steps Automatically
2. You will be prompted by the “jump” distance. In the figure above we have entered an amount of
500mm. This means that when activated, all steps with a jump of 500mm or more will be
zeroed. This means the step at each jump point will be eliminated. Of course the raw data is
unaffected.
3. This process may take several minutes.
11.2.2.4 Revert All Steps Automatically (Toolbar)

Steps can be reverted back to raw data by using the “Revert all steps” icon’

11.2.3.2 Active / Inactive Prisms Filter

This filter provides a way to reducing the number of available prisms that can be accessed. Active
prism mode is designed to make navigation easier to use. If a prism has been inactive for XX days,
then it will be classed as inactive, and it will not be visible for selection in the “prism select” box. If all
prisms in a cluster become inactive, then the cluster itself will be inactive, and will not be visible in the
cluster select box. All prisms and clusters are available when “Show all prisms” is selected.
When icon left is displayed means Showing All Prisms. Press to select only Active prisms.
When icon left is displayed means Showing Active Prisms only. Press to select ALL prisms.

1.2.3.7 Recalculate Rain Data

Rain data can be gathered from the rain sensors
as an individual reading or an accumulated
reading, depending on the configuration of the
sensor. Sometimes there is a history of using
different sensor types and so the rain data needs
to be recalculated over a date range. This facility
is available from the Right Click Menu. The Daily

11.2.6.1 Cluster Maintenance

To get to the Cluster Maintenance Window you need to go to Prisms -> Cluster Maintenance ->
Cluster Details. Cluster is a term we use for a group of prisms. As a default, cluster names will be
created to reflect the name of the AutoSlope group for each new prism. There are no restrictions on
cluster names, number of prisms per cluster, or the number of times any prism can belong to any
cluster. Hence, there is a possibility that a prism does not belong to any cluster. We call these prisms
– rogue prisms. See section 11.2.6.5 for details.

11.2.7.3 Active / Inactive Prisms

The Active / Inactive Prisms filter is great for reducing the number of available prisms that can be
accessed. If a prism has been inactive for xx days, then it will be classed as inactive, and it will not be
visible for selection in the “prism select” box. If all prisms in a cluster become inactive, then the cluster
itself will be invisible. All prisms and clusters are available when “Show all prisms” is selected.
This process can be automated (with user acceptance) on the start-up of QuikSlope5 by setting an
active/Inactive time period. See section 11.1.2.2 Project Administration.
This process can also be done manually using this menu item under Prism Maintenance. Prisms can
be selected from the active list into the inactive list.
A better way to check for inactive prisms is to use menu item 11.1.2.3 Edit Project. Check that the
“time period” is appropriate, and tick the “Check inactive prisms” box and click on the “Save” button.
This will show the “Current Prism Data” window which will list all the “to be made inactive” prisms.
See below section 11.2.7.4 Auto Active / Inactive Prisms.

Select this icon to recalculate velocities. This process will recalculate all velocities for the
selected prisms or clusters. Note that if you change the user velocity time period (see section
11.1.2.3 Project Edit), then you will need to recalculate the velocities.
Diagram 62: Recalculating Velocities
Note: Velocity recalculation can be time consuming. Each calculation involves searching the
database for previous data in that time period.

Page 58 of 115
Quikslope5 Manual
11.2.8.1.3 Velocity Calculation Explanation

• All velocities are expressed as mm/day no matter what time period is used.
• Data “A” is the latest prism data.
• Data “B” is the data retrieved at a time 24 hours (at least) before the Data “A” data.
• SD velocity (slope distance) uses the adjusted field distance to calculate movement velocity. It
is the change of distance over a time frame from “A” data to “B” data, or “A” data to “C” data, or
“A” data to “D” data.
• 2D velocity uses the XY join distance between the current position and prior position. It is the
change of XY calculated distance over a time frame from “A” data to “B” data, or “A” data to “C”
data, or “A” data to “D” data.
• Velocity is the difference between adjusted distances of the current reading with the previous
reading, expressed in mm per day. So if we have readings:
1. 12-SEP-08 3:00AM adj dist=856.234;

2. 12-SEP-08 8:00PM adj dist=856.236 Data “C”;
3. 13-SEP-08 8:55AM adj dist=856.235 Data “B”;
4. 13-SEP-08 9:00PM adj dist=856.232. Data “A”;
• 24 hour velocity is calculated as:

o Find the previous record at least 24 hour prior;
o This is record #2;
o Calculate difference in distance:
856.232 – 856.236;
= -4 mm.
o Calculate time frame:
(13-09-08 21:00)- (12-09-08 20:00);
=25.0.
o Calculate velocity:
4mm over 25.0 hours;
= 4*24/25;
= -3.8mm/day.
• Using shorter time frames than 24 hours can be misleading because the instrumentation
tolerance is +/- 3mm plus, if a weather station is not used, then atmospherics can increase that
even more, although the REF prism adjustment should compensate. So, for very short time
frames, say like 1 hour between readings, and if there is a difference of 2mm in distances, this
will equate to 28mm per day velocity when indeed there may be a zero velocity.
24 hour velocity for normal prism speed; For a normal slow moving prism, we would expect a 24-hour
velocity to be quite appropriate.

The CAD engine is a tool supplied by Vector Draw. CAD data is NOT saved into the project database
but is saved to a separate file. See project edit. This CAD file is stored in a binary format called .vdml.
Data can be imported in most formats. Background colour can be set in the project settings.
Any CAD window can be saved as a CAD file for your own purposes, or save it as the project CAD

There are basically 2 CAD modes.
Prism mode is normally used for viewing prisms and presentations. It will lock out all layers
except “Prisms”. Prism mode is shown above.
CAD Edit mode is used for editing the actual linework and adding CAD elements. This
mode is shown below with system menu.
Diagram 64: CAD Modes
CAD Edit mode above is a special mode to use when you want to use the full power of CAD. Note
that there is an extra toolbar for common edits. There is also a system menu (bottom right) with a
multitude of commands available. There is also the large obvious properties window on the left hand
side of the actual CAD window.
Note: Remember to save your vdml file after edits. Normally, you do not have to save for
normal prism viewing.

In the CAD window, select pull-down menu “File”, “Open”.
Diagram 65: Open CAD Drawing
You can see that there are many different formats that can be used for importing your site graphics.
Probably the most common is the DXF file. If possible, select a DXF file for your site. Make sure the
file is 3D, that is, it has elevations (heights) for all points.
When loading a new file, you may find that the screen remains blank. You will need to zoom
the data to its extents. See icon left.
Note: Use the Zoom Extents option to see the project after loading.

11.3.2.6 CAD – Presentation Options

In the CAD presentation options, there are multiple ranges for showing movements by colour and size.
A circle around the prism shows movements, with a line used to show the direction of the movement.
You can experiment with the different threshold values, colours, prism size and scale movement to
achieve the desire presentation. By selecting a Date Range in the Date Filter, you can set the
parameters for observing movement over the last 24 hours for example. You can access the
Presentation Configuration by clicking this icon

11.3.2.6.3 Presentation Size

When the elements of the
presentation appear on the CAD
screen, they can be dynamically
sized or a fixed size.
D
Diagram 78C: Presentation Settings – Presentation Size
In dynamic mode, the size of the circles is determined by the movement amount. Below left is a
presentation with a dynamic sizing scale of 95%. When changing to 15% (the right hand side), we get
a much better balance between the size of the circles. You may have to play with this scaling to get it
just right.
Whereas fixed size is just that. Remember, the size is in actual ground units – metres.

11.3.4.0 CAD Edit Mode

This mode allows you to use CAD tools to enhance your drawing. You will notice that the
icon shows an unlock situation which refers to the difference between this and the Prism
Mode. The Prism Mode is the normal mode for viewing prisms and presentations. In this
mode, there is automatic locking of different layers, namely the “Presentation” and “Prisms” layers.
The Edit Mode allows you to lock or unlock whatever layers you wish to. For example, you may wish
to add text to the drawing, but you want to control this by creating a special layer called “Text”. You
can then choose default colours and line types. The CAD edit mode is obvious because it shows the
large properties window on the left of the main CAD window.
Diagram 84: CAD Edit Mode
The CAD Edit Mode unlocks certain valuable tools as seen above:
• Layer Control
• Drawing Toolbar
• Properties Window
• System Menu
• Command Line
There are two main functions that you would probably use.
• Edit (modify) existing drawing elements for colour, line type, elevation value, or whatever.
• Drawing Tools like
o LINE
o POLYLINE
o RECTANGLE
o ARC
o CIRCLE
o ELIPSE
o TEXT
o INSERT IMAGE

If you are familiar with using CAD, then you may be familiar with the AutoCad command set, and how
they work. The Quikslope5 CAD tool is very similar. Many of these tools require several steps to
achieve the final result, so it is important to know how each one works.
When working with these tools, you must be aware of the command line at the bottom left of the
window. See above. Many of the drawing tools above can be activated by typing in the command on
this line. But we will mostly be using the drawing tools on the toolbar. This command line shows the
prompts required to continue to the next step.
11.3.4.1 Draw a Line

For example, let us draw a line.
1. Click on the Line icon in the toolbar.
2. The command line is asking for “First Point”
3. Click on the CAD window for the first point
4. Note that you could type in the point values as X,Y,Z
5. Continue creating a multi sided polygon with “New Point” prompts
6. To close back to the first point enter a “C” and ENTER. See
right.
7. A prompt can be answered by typing in command line or clicking
(selecting) a point on the screen. We would normally select a
point.

11.4.1.0 Reports
You can access the Reports window by clicking on the icon picture here in the system menu.
This is where you can select which report you wish to run and define what data will be part of
the report.
11.4.1.1 Coordinates Report

The coordinates report can be filtered by cluster, prism, active/inactive prisms, and by date. Each
prism is listed with the date/time North, East, and Height.
Diagram 90: All Prism Coordinates Report

Page 82 of 115
Quikslope5 Manual
11.4.1.2 Prism Movement Report

The prism movement report can be filtered by Cluster, Prism, Active/Inactive prisms, Exclude/Include
marked steps, and Date span.
When creating these reports, it is important to note what type of data you will use. Normally you would
use shaped data. Shaped data will base its report on calculations based on the removal of steps and
spikes, while raw data will report on the actual survey data.
Diagram 91: Prism Movement Report
Note: Also the “Report inactivity period” at the foot of the report. If the last reading to a prism
exceeds this time (days), then an asterisk will be shown.

Quikslope5 Manual
11.5.1 Data Locking

In order to ensure the integrity of the data, there are times when the database is locked. With multiple
users and Autosync all saving and editing data, there is a system in place to ensure this security. Any
action that requires a data write to the database, will result in a data lock.
This data lock will not stop users from viewing the data. It will however, stop some processes that do
require a write. Most lockouts are of short duration, and you may never encounter one. Autosync can
cause longer lock durations when undergoing some movement calculations. If another user performs
a data calculation, you may also get a lockout.
There are times when a lockout seems to be permanent. This could happen because of a networking
problem that may have left an operation unfinished.
Thus we have the Database Cleanup Tool, which is available from the main pull-down menu Tools,
Database Cleanup. 11.7.2 Database Clean up Tool
This tool can be used at any time you think the data may be compromised. If you tick the
Recalculation boxes, then the process will unlock the database and recalculate movements and
velocities. This recalculation can take some time with a large database. Very often, all you need to
do is click on RUN to simply unlock the database.
Diagram 92: Database Clean up – Data Locking

Quikslope5 Manual
11.6.1 Manual Data Calculations

Quikslope5 has the ability to import manually collected data. This is typically data collected when
using the Leica on board software “Monitoring” and “Sets of Angles”, or Trimble monitoring software.
There are 3 steps involved and those familiar with the Quikslope v4 data import, will be at home here.
These steps are:
Survey Control Database

Import the GSI file
Calculate Coordinates
The survey control database is a time based control database that can show movement in the control
coordinates over time. This is important when there is a need to re-calculate data historically.
Before starting a new project, you will need to create a new database and a new project. See
11.6.1.1 Survey Control database

Quikslope5 can hold the control coordinates of the instrument station and the REFERENCE (REF)
station by date. Hence, during calculations, the latest coordinates and REF will be used that coincides
with the control data date. Calculation errors can occur if the date of the setup data precedes the date
of the earliest control listing. The first control data date has to precede the initial setup. Multiple
entries for any point can be stored, allowing Quikslope to record and compensate for any movement
of the control stations.
11.6.1.2 Import Survey Control from Quikslope v4

If you wish to transfer control data from Quikslope v4, there is an option (Quikslope Vers 4.0.714) in
the Survey Control Database window, to export a CSV file containing the control data ready for import
into Quikslope5. Simply use the button “Export a CSV file”. You will be prompted for a file name. This
file will save all control data in the format “Control ID, Date, Easting, Northing, Elevation, REF ID”.
Diagram 93: Export survey control from Quikslope v4

Page 85 of 115
Quikslope5 Manual
In Quikslope5, we can go to the “Survey Control Database” window and use the “Import a CSV file”
button.
Diagram 94: Import Quikslope v4 survey control file.
Diagram 95: Survey control database

Page 86 of 115
Quikslope5 Manual
11.6.1.3 Enter Survey Control

You can enter survey control manually by:
1. Select a Control Point in the list box or use Add Control Point link.
2. Use the Add New Date Line to add a new line of data.
3. A new data line will be added using today’s date. You can edit the data.
Diagram 96: Survey control database – add new control point
4. “Reference control prism” refers to the reference prism. When entering the data for the REF
prism, it is not necessary to enter data for the REF prism on the RHS column.
5. Either select an existing control point from the listing, and edit any data on the data grid.
6. Use the Delete link to delete control points. If you wish to delete a record, simply select any cell
on that row, and select the button on the left so that the complete row is highlighted, and then
use the delete key on the keyboard.
7. Remember to use the “Save Changes” button after adding or editing data.
The concept is to track the position of control points by date, and retain this historical data so that
future recalculations can be done at any time.

Page 87 of 115
Quikslope5 Manual
11.6.1.4 Import a Survey File

Quikslope5 can import a Leica GSI or Trimble JXL file. Please click on the “Import Data” menu item.
Diagram 97: Import a GSI file
To differentiate the various setups in the one GSI file, we need to know the rest time between setups.
so if the instrument is sitting on the same station for some time, Quikslope needs to be able to
separate the setups, otherwise all the measurements in the file will be averaged in to one single
reading. If unsure, then accept the default.
Diagram 98: Delay time used by Leica monitoring program

Page 88 of 115
Quikslope5 Manual
Browse to the GSI file required. The GSI data will be shown as:
Diagram 99: Processing Data for GSI file
The idea here is to quickly get a feel for the accuracy of the GSI data. We recommend that multiple
shots are taken to each prism in both faces. All this data is averaged out and the standard deviations
are calculated for each prism (in each setup). The maximum standard deviation for HA, VA and SD
are shown in the top line, thus giving a fast indication of data accuracy. The acceptable accuracy is
up to the individual, but we would expect the standard deviations to be under 10 for each unit.
If the maximum standard deviations are excessive, then the bad data needs to be found. Click on the
next tab titles “Edit Data” and find where the bad line of data exists, and delete the line. You will then
need to recalculate the standard deviations by using the button titled “Recalc Means after Edit”. Now
check the maximum standard deviations. If they are still excessive then repeat this process.
Remember that you will need at least 2 readings per prism to get a true standard deviation. We
recommend 4 readings – 2 on each face.
To help with editing you can view the previous data at the bottom of the window.
Use the “Setup Data” tab to check the calculated data. Pay attention to
Station ID
Date and time
Instrument height
The reference station may not necessarily be the REF prism used in the calculation process. It is only
used to set up the instrument and have it pointing correctly so that the ATR will pickup each prism
very accurately.
Accept the data and use the Merge with dbase button.

Page 89 of 115
Quikslope5 Manual
11.6.1.5 Calculate Coordinates

After importing a GSI file, you can now calculate the data. Be aware that:
Each GSI file can hold multiple setups which are treated as a separate calculation.
Each setup data should hold the prisms and a REF prism. We recommend that when setting up
the instruments to measure the prisms, that you include the REF prism like any other prism.
The calculation phase will then search for data on the REF prism as it is stored in the control
database.
REF adjustments need to be ticked ON or OFF depending on your project requirements. This
is important, because when data is calculated with this switch being sometimes ON and
sometimes OFF, you will end up with extremely jumpy data.
Diagram 100: Calculate Coordinates for file

Page 90 of 115
Quikslope5 Manual
Be aware of error messages during calculations. This error “Cannot find control point HAR7” refers to
missing measurement data to the REF prism HAR7.
Diagram 101: Error message cannot find control point
Normal window showing adjustment factors will be shown when calculating. If the adjustments
are ON, then be very wary of accepting bad adjustment factors. We would expect both distance
and vertical adjustments to be under 10. If factors are turned OFF (like this graphic), the
adjustment factors are still shown and give a good indication of control accuracies. By watching
these values over time, you can see if there is any control creep.
Diagram 102: Turning off distance and vertical adjustment.

11.7.0 Data Tools
This is a series of tools to help

• Manage incorrect data
• Database cleanup tool
• Creating database export files
• Importing database export files
11.7.1 Prism Merge / Split Analysis

This tool is located on main pulldown menu “Tools”, “Prism Merge/Split Analysis”.
The tool is used to check:
• Are there any prisms that are broken into two or more names?
• Are there any prisms that are sharing data with another prism?
These 2 scenarios are quite common when projects last for very long periods of time,
and when they are using manual data. Where you get huge jumps in XYZ data, this
usually means that data from 2 different prisms are mixed together.
When performing “Step Removals”, an XY check is performed to ensure that the
prism is indeed inside the threshold set in the project configuration.
Diagram 103: Prism Merge/Split Analysis
To use this tool, simply choose the cluster, or prisms, or just select ALL. A window
will appear and show the processing. If there is a problem prism(s) then it will
appear on the “Auto-Merged Data Segments” window shown below.

Page 92 of 115
Quikslope5 Manual
Diagram 104: Prism Merge/Split Analysis 2

11.7.2 Database Clean up Tool
This tool is located on main pulldown menu “Tools”, “Database Cleanup”. This facility
is used for:
• To clear a database lock
• To repair a possible database problem
The user can run a quick fix by simply clicking on the “Run” button. This is the
fastest way to clear a locked database.
If the “Recalculate” tick boxes are used, then the process can take considerably
longer, but will result in a cleaner database. The velocity recalculation can take a
considerable amount of time.

Page 93 of 115
Quikslope5 Manual
11.7.3 Database Export Q5DAT

The database export tool is an extremely powerful and useful function. You can
export a database by cluster and/or date filter. The finished export file is compact
and zipped. It can be emailed and reconstructed elsewhere. This process can
happen over time so that a remote database can be easily kept current.
• Choose the file folder for the export file.

• Choose file name. Note default name using date.
• Select cluster or All.
• Select prisms individually
• Select Date filter or All
• Select weather data if required.
This export process is very fast and you can create large databases export files.
Typically, a 264 Mb database will have an export of file of 7 Mb. Note that the file
type is a Q5DAT.
This Q5DAT file is a zipped up list of CSV files.

Page 94 of 115
Quikslope5 Manual
11.7.4 Database Q5DAT Import

The database import function will accept a file created by the Database Export Tool.
It has certain properties:
• Import the file in an existing project
• Create a new project (and database) and import
• Import into an existing project with overlapping chronological ordered data
This Export/Import feature is ideal for consultants that do not have access to the site
working database. They can simply create their own database, and keep it up to
date with regular import files.
Note that the process of importing a Q5DAT export file.

• Is this a new project? If so then we need to create the database and project.
• Before importing the file, we must be sure to have the correct project loaded.
Check in the bottom left hand corner for the project name and database name.
• If you are appending data using a Q5DAT file, then be sure the correct
Quikslope5 project is current before importing.
Note: The import action can take some time. There are many processes to go
through, and the movements and velocities are calculated, which can take
many minutes.

11.7.5 Rain Data Import

Rain data can be imported automatically when a Vaisala weather station is used with
Softrock’s Autoserver software.
Or, the data can be imported using a csv file. From the pulldown menu “Tools”,
“Rain Data Import”. A csv file must exist having the simple format Date, Daily rain
Gauge.
See 11.2.3.6 Show Rain Data and 1.2.3.7 Recalculate Rain Data
Below is an example of a rain.csv file file for importing. This file can be created in a spread sheet from
another data source. Remember to use the correct date format as shown in the project settings of
Quikslope. File format is date, rain gauge reading

11.7.6 XYZ Import

Often there is a need to import historic data that may only be in XYZ format. Or you may wish to
import some other type of data like GPS coordinates. The format for this CSV file is:
Prism name, Date, Time, Easting, Northing, Height, Distance.
These files can be built using Excel or similar spread sheet. Remember to format the date as per the
Quikslope project expected date format. The time can be copied and pasted as any time of the day if
there is only one reading per day, but again, ensure it is a time format – like “12:01 PM”
If there are no distances to include, then simply add a zero distance for all readings. Often the
distance is available and this will give you an extra graphing option.
Note the format of the XYZ Import file. Remember the date format must be as stipulated in the
Quikslope project settings. In this example, we have stated a zero distance.

11.7.8 Database Filter

When databases get very large, it often helps to trim the data size down. This feature will activate on
a block of data by epoch. The date entered is the pivot epoch. All data before this date will be
processed.
• Processing will calculate daily averages for all data points in the data block.
• Processing will remove all data points other than the daily averages.
Step 1..You will get a warning window.
Step 2.. You will then need to input a code. You will need to contact Softrock to get this code.
Softrock will need the activation code and from that we will give you the unlock key. This step is to
recognise the importance of what you are about to do. There is no way to go back from this step, so
we do recommend that an SQL backup is performed beforehand.
Step 3..Enter the date for the pivot point. A default date will be displayed that is 3 months prior to the
last data epoch in the database. The date cannot be less than 30 days prior to the last data epoch.

Quikslope5 Manual
Step 4.. Start the process by clicking RUN button. Another warning window will appear.
Step 5… Processing will begin.

11.9.1 Autosync
Autosync consists of a program module called Softrock Autosync Controller that is available from
Windows. This program can setup the process of copying data from Softrock Access databases, or
GeoMos SQL databases to the SQL QuikSlope5 database. This program controls a Windows Service
that performs the actual data flow in the background.
11.9.1.0 Autosync Installation
To install Autosync, run the installation file Autosync-setup.exe and follow the instructions to accept
Licence agreement and Installation options. Click “Next” at each screen once you are satisfied with
the options, and click “Install” to install Autosync according to the options you selected. Finally click
“Finish” to finalise the installation. You will now see an icon “Softrock Autosync” on your desktop.
Destination folder is usually:

C:\Softrock\Autosync

Page 100 of 115

11.9.1.1 Windows Services & Autosync

There are 2 Autosync services. When Autosync is installed, the services should start immediately. It
may be necessary to check the services status when trouble shooting.
Windows Control Panel > Administration Tools > Services
Diagram 106: Windows Services & Autosync
Note: Ensure that both services “Softrock Autosync” and “Softrock Controller” have the status
“Started”.
Note: It may be necessary to change the service log in as the generic log in details.

Page 102 of 115
Quikslope5 Manual
11.9.1.2 Autosync Settings
Diagram 107: Autosync Settings
• Note: that the Autosync service (see above & section 11.9.1.1) must be on to see and set the
settings below.
Start AutoSync from the programs menu.To connect to a server, go to the Settings tab, and type in the
name of the server (to connect to the local machine, use localhost). The default port is 8085. Click
Save to complete the connection.
Once connected, you can set the interval of the schedule and select whether or not to include debug
statements in the output log. The debug statements consist of selected SQL statements, which are
run against the two databases during the transfer. If the system stops transferring data without
reporting any errors, this will enable us to step through the process by running the appropriate SQL
statements manually to see what is happening.

11.9.1.3 Autosync Project Administration

Autosync can be configured for multiple projects.
Diagram 108: Autosync Project Administration
To create a project:
1. Go to the Project Admin tab, and click the New Project button;
2. Enter the project name;
3. Choose Continuous or Single. Single is used when starting a new project to populate the
database with historical data. Continuous is used to continually “top-up” the database.
4. Choose output folder where logfiles will be kept. This is typically “C:\softrock\Logs”
5. Go to Database tab

Page 104 of 115
Quikslope5 Manual

7. We will select a Geomos source database. Click on Details button.
Diagram 110: Autosync SQL Connection Details

Page 105 of 115
Quikslope5 Manual
8. If you are connecting to a local server, then ensure this is ticked. This is normally ticked
because Autosync is usually installed on the Geomos computer.
9. Select the SQL Server name. You can use the pulldown and select from the list.
10. Select the SQL authentication to be used.
11. Try windows first.
12. Click on “Refresh Database List”.
13. The database name should be available in the pulldown list in the database name text box
below. This is the Geomos database.
14. If the database list does not populate, then you may need to change the SQL authentication to
SQL.
a. Username: analyser
b. Password: an4lyz3r— where the last 2 characters are minus “-“ characters.
15. Save the details.
16. If you are using a weather database to store rain data, then enter the location of the
“Weather.mdb” file.
17. Click on the Destination tab.
Diagram 111: Autosync Destination Database
18. Again use the Details button as above to get details of the target destination SQL server,
database name etc. Note that normally the destination database is usually NOT on the local
computer, so you may have to untick the box “Connect to local server only”
19. If the database needs to be created, then use the tool provided.
a. Softrock installation directory. This will store the new database file in the
C:\Softrock\Autosync\data folder.
b. SQL server installation directory. This will store the database file in the MS SQL
program data folder.
c. Custom Path (please specify). Choose a location for the SQL database file.
20. Create the database
21. Ensure to save the project details.
22. You may return to this project and edit it at any time.
23. Go to the “Proxy Status” tab
24. Use the Start button to start the Autosync process. Details will appear on this page.
25. Progress bars will show the status of transfer.
It is noted that multiple projects can be configured.
The Proxy Status tab will display what is happening within the service (including selected SQL
statements if applicable). This is the data that is also written to the log files, and the text box on this
tab can be cleared by clicking the button at the bottom of the screen.

11.9.1.4 Autosync - Create New SQL Database

To create a new SQL database we need to do this under the “Target database
details”. Simply tick the box “Create New Database”. This would be run as a one-off,
and then once it is created, then you can create the scheduled feed from the proxy
databases.
Diagram 112: Autosync Target Database
Note: The database is created with no data on board. Data will be transferred during the
scheduling. You may want to use “single” schedule for this purpose.
Note: Softrock installation directory. This will store the new database file in the
C:\Softrock\Autosync\data folder.
Note: SQL server installation directory. This will store the database file in the MS SQL
program data folder.
Note: Custom Path (please specify). Choose a location for the SQL database file.

11.9.1.5 Autosync – Start & Stop the Service

To start the Autosync service, go to the Windows “Control Panel”, “Administrative Tools” and then
open the “Services” window. Find “Softrock Controller” and start the service. Both “Softrock Controller”
and “Softrock Autosync” should be running.
Diagram 113: Autosync Start & Stop Service
The Autosync service is the product that does the data moving. The Softrock
Controller (or monitor) is a program that can be started normally. It is usually labelled
“Autosync” in the Windows program menu system.
Note that the Softrock Proxy service sometimes needs to be logged on as the
generic login information for the local user. This is usually the GeoMoS machine.
Right Click on the Softrock Proxy service

Select Properties
Select “Log On” tab
Select “This account”
Enter your account details that you use to logon to this computer. You may need to
use the “Locations” button to help get the correct format.
