Define Search Volume - Available Search Volumes

To access this dialog:

Using the Advanced Estimation dialog, select the Define Search Volume menu item. The initial set of search volumes will be generated from the variogram models associated with the Estimations in the left area of the panel.

Additional search volumes can be created by right clicking in the blank area below the last search volume and selecting Add new search parameters from the dropdown menu.

In order to edit any of the search volume parameters select the required search volume in the centre area and then use the panel to the right as described in the Edit Search Parameters section below. When the editing is complete you should make sure that the correct search volume is highlighted in the left area of the panel and then select the Apply search volume to estimation … button at the bottom of the centre area.

Import: click this button to copy a set of search volume parameters from a DM file. The best way to create the required fields is to export a file first and then load it into the table editor and delete all the records. You can only import search volume parameter files that are suitable for Advanced Estimation (and specifically, the underlying COKRIG process).

Export: click this button to save the current search volume parameters to a DM file. File exported can be re-imported into the Advanced Estimation wizard. These files will be listed in the Project Files control bar using a dedicated category: Search Parameters (Adv. Est.).

Search volume parameter files exported from the Advanced Estimation wizard cannot be used as an input to the ESTIMA process, or ESTIMATE dialog.

Import: click this button to save the current search volume parameters to a DM file.
Clear list: click this button to delete the list of Available Search Volumes. A new list can be recreated from the available model variogram models as described in the Estimation Area section above.
