Drill Machine Interfaces
Important: For drilling data to be imported from external databases or files, the site must configure appropriate security permissions and login details for those databases or files. The permissions must enable access for the logon user of the DataBlast Service and for the user who installs the DataBlast Service on the DataBlast server machine. If a drill system database connects via Windows integrated security, the DataBlast Service must be configured to use a domain account with the relevant security permissions. The user who installs and configures the DataBlast Service on the DataBlast server machine must also have a domain account with the relevant security permissions.
When data is imported from drill machines, the values for some data (for example, hole length, rotation speed and feed force) may need to be converted to a different unit of measure. You can edit conversion factors if required. See Configure Segment Data Conversion Settings.
