Zones, holes and timing

Carve the recording into zones, place blast-plan holes at their firing times, and overlay the initiation sequence from your detonator system.

Press O to swap the Overview for the navigator: three rails under the trace for Holes, Zones and Timing. Each rail has its own list dialog and its own eye toggle on the chart.

Narrated, on a unit 78 m from the blast, where each hole arrives on its own: the navigator rails, the detonator timing drawn over the trace, and the figures for what is in view.
The Holes, Zones and Timing rails

Zones

Zones are the time windows you carve out for reporting: a deck, a delay group or a regulatory window. Each zone stores its own peak vector sum when you save it, so every window keeps a defensible number of its own.

  • Create one by dragging on the Zones rail, or by measuring a span on the detail chart and clicking Keep this span as a zone.
  • Edit one by double-clicking it on the rail. While editing, ← and → nudge it, Shift and Ctrl make the nudge ten and fifty samples, and Alt+←/Alt+→ and Alt+Shift+←/Alt+Shift+→ move the start and end edges.
  • Step between zones with { and }, and between holes with [ and ].
  • Press Z to show or hide zone shading on the chart and Shift+Z to open the zones list.
  • Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Shift+Z undo and redo the last annotation change.

Resizing a zone or re-running the analysis recomputes its peak. The zone peak is not the event-level PVS.

Holes

Holes come from a blast plan. Press Shift+I to import one, or open the Holes rail's empty state. Once imported, each hole plots at its designed firing time so you can line up what the ground felt with which hole fired. Press H to show or hide the markers and Shift+H to open the holes list.

Timing overlay

Press B to draw the detonator timing over the trace: one marker per hole firing.

The timing rail overlays the initiation sequence your detonator system recorded. Import its firing export with Import timing data, or Shift+B to replace or remove it later. Then:

  • choose the initiation system and slide the offset until the markers land on the arrivals in the trace (Shift+S opens timing settings);
  • press B to show or hide the blast-timing overlay on the chart;
  • press D to label the firing intervals between holes with timing deltas.

The Δ (ms) figure on each row is how far that hole fired from its design; positive means late. The offset shifts every actual time together and is saved with the event.
