Well, we have just finished coding the next update for CPeT-IT and we are now in the final stage of testing the software. A major addition to this version is the ability to display penetration depth or elevation data on the Y axes of the plots.

Over the past few months we got several requests for this feature so we are very excited to include it in our next release.

In order to correctly display elevation data, users first need to define Ground Elevation in the Calculation Properties dialog for every CPT file in their project. The Project Properties dialog now displays an option where you can select the penetration depth or elevation for the vertical axes. All plots in the software will display the elevation data but tabular results will present penetration depth for easy understanding of the calculations. So, for example if you are designing a typical section, qt plot will display elevation but depth data should be entered based on penetration depth (holding SHIFT and left clicking on the qt plot the software will put the correct penetration depth on the From depth field). Several explanations regarding depth value are also included on the reports as footnotes.

If you have previously fixed Y axes then changing the display type of the vertical axes may result to empty plots so always set Y axes to automatic before making this change.

We really hope that you will enjoy this new feature!
