Google Earth Sample Parameters (3D Cylinders) Report

Report Name: Google Earth Sample Parameters (3D Cylinders)

File Name: EarthSoft.Interfaces.Google.dll

Dependencies: Saved Sample Parameters user report

Software: EQuIS Professional

Source: EQuIS Professional install

Language: English

Output Type: Keyhole Markup Language (*.kmz)1, 2, 3

Description: This report uses the results of a saved Sample Parameters and exports the content as a *.kmz file. When viewed in Google Earth, the concentrations of each parameter will be displayed as a 3D cylinder for a location. Prior to using this report, review the Submission of Content Warning for Google Earth reports as well as the commercial license requirements.

Installation Instructions: This report assembly is part of the EQuIS Professional installation. No additional installation steps are necessary.

Overview:

This report prompts users to select a saved Sample Parameters User Report. The output of the report shows values of each parameter represented as a vertical cylinder at each sampling location. The height of the cylinder represents the parameter value (taller cylinders show greater values). Each parameter is displayed in a different color. Users can select which parameter to view by clicking in the circle next to the desired parameter name.

For locations to appear in this report:

•DT_COORDINATE.COORD_TYPE_CODE must be like "*LAT*LONG*".

•DT_COORDINATE.IDENTIFIER MUST be "Primary".

•DT_LOCATION.LOC_TYPE must be populated.

•DT_LOCATION.SYS_LOC_CODE must be populated.

•DT_LOCATION.LOC_DESC must be populated before locations are clickable.

This report includes data over the selected date range. Drag the time slider or press the Play button to watch the values change over time.

Report Parameters

Saved Sample Parameters Report	Select a saved Sample Parameters user report.
Cylinder Scale
Linear
Multiplier	Multiplier value for linearly adjusting the height of the vertical Cylinders (y = mx + b).
Constant	Constant value for linearly adjusting the height of the vertical Cylinders (y = mx + b).
Proportional
Maximum	Enter a non-zero maximum elevation to proportionally adjust the height of the vertical cylinders (y=(x-xMin) / (xMax-xMin) * (pMax - pMin) +pMin). Enter zero to skip proportional adjustment.
Minimum	Enter a non-zero maximum elevation to proportionally adjust the height of the vertical cylinders (y=(x-xMin) / (xMax-xMin) * (pMax - pMin) +pMin). Enter zero to skip proportional adjustment.

Report Output
The report output is a *.kmz file that is viewed in Google Earth.
