Since it is possible to collect small diameter, disturbed soil samples with the same CPT pushing equipment immediately after the CPT, you may need to display this information inside the raw cone resistance plot. Select a CPTU data and open the Edit CPT data command and click on the Samples tab located at the top of the dialog.
Samples tab in the CPT data editor
To insert a soil sample enter a small description inside the Text edit box. In the From edit box enter the depth from where the sampling procedure began. In the To edit box enter the depth where the sampling procedure stopped. In the Start edit box you may enter a value which denotes the relative distance to the plot width from where the sample will appear. Click on the arrow to define a color for the sample. To add the sample in the list click on the Add sample button. A preview will appear on the sample plot.
Color selection dialog
If you wish to make a change to any sample, select the sample form the list. The properties of this sample will now appear on the edit boxes. Make the changes and click on the Update button to commit these changes.
To delete all samples from the current CPTU click on the Clear all button. To delete only the selected one click on the Delete selected button.
