Enhanced Support for Windows 7: Geosoft Target for ArcGIS will run on Windows XP (32 Bit), Windows Vista (32 and 64 Bit) and Windows 7 (32 and 64 Bit) operating systems. Requires ArcGIS v9.2 (SP6) or 9.3.1 (SP1).

See full system requirements here.

New Features and Enhancements

 

New Duplicate Sample Identification Method

Duplicate sample identification has been simplified and improved. The Duplicate indicator column now contains the original sample number of the parent sample. This enables you to have multiple duplicates that reference a single parent sample.

Coloured Histograms, multi-histograms and probability plots

Histograms, multi-histogram reports and probability plots now use the colour-based percentile breaks as defined in the Visualization tools.

By automatically displaying the colours breaks on the all the analysis tools it is easier to compare sub-populations in the data.

Leveling data options

Assay data can now be levelled using the following methods: mean, medium, mode, geometric mean, z-score and peak to noise. 

Levelling data based on a categorization field such as year, sample type or lithology can help geologists understand the relationships in their data.

New Box plot options

The Box plot can now display data using a logarithmic or linear distribution.  We have also included a number of options for whisker display providing more flexibility for the display of outliers. The X axis labels can now be plotted vertically on the Box plot graph, accommodating longer category names in the classification field.

3D Topography draping

Shapefiles, layer files and gridded geochemistry data can be draped over a topographic relief surface and explored in the Geosoft 3D viewer.   This presentation allows you to readily see relationships between topography and geochemical data.

Seeker

Seeker simplifies the data search and retrieval process from DAP Servers and other online data sources. Seeker replaces our two 'Find Data' options with a workflow-driven design.

Seeker's design combines capabilities and concepts from DAP Find Data and Dapple interfaces to create a straightforward 3-step workflow.

Search criteria, including Structured Metadata Queries, are used to refine the result set and provide access to relevant metadata. The search results are easy to review, and selected datasets are simple to retrieve and use in your local mapping environment. The Seeker data access tool is available in all Geosoft applications and plugins.

16586 Fixed - GfA  BUG - Set Assay Colours Bugs.
16675 Fixed - GfA BUG - Duplicates Report: if i enter two tolerance values in the Duplicates Report separted by a comma, strange things happen.
16771 Fixed - GFA - In box plot analysis tool plots and labels are overlapping for larger datasets.
16785 Fixed - 1.0 (GfA) BUGS - histogram analysis, axis is not refreshing if curve changed from "Probability" to "Cumulative"
