GagLook Manager
In today’s Spatial Engineer 11 tutorial, we delve into the GAG Lookup Manager tool, where GAG stands for Gauge. Here’s a summary of the tool and its utilization based on the video content:
- Accessing the GAG Lookup Manager:
- To access the GAG Lookup Manager in Spatial Engineer 11, navigate to the Copper Configuration under the Copper pull-down menu.
- Click on GAG Lookup Manager to open the dialogue box.
- Purpose and Functionality:
- The GAG Lookup Manager is used for managing and defining gauge parameters, especially for unusual or custom gauges that may not be standard.
- It is typically utilized when denoting a new gauge in loop makeup processes, where parameters like decimal loss, resistance, and load flags are crucial for accurate calculations.
- Adding Custom Gauges:
- In the GAG Lookup Manager dialogue, you will find a list of pre-filled standard gauges on the left.
- If you need to add a custom gauge (e.g., gauge 26), you can do so by inputting parameters such as mount type, frequency, decimal loss, resistance, and load flag.
- Usage and Application:
- Fill in the required properties for the new gauge, ensuring accuracy in mount types, frequency, decimal loss, resistance, and load flag.
- Once all parameters are entered, click “Apply” to save the new custom gauge in the system.
- Additional Notes:
- While additions to the GAG Lookup Manager are infrequent, the tool proves beneficial for companies with unique gauge requirements.
- For scenarios involving multiple mount types (e.g., aerial, buried, underground), you can adjust the mount type and reapply without re-entering all parameters.
- Conclusion:
- Using the GAG Lookup Manager is straightforward and involves entering necessary gauge details, applying the changes, and finalizing the addition of a custom gauge to the system.
The GAG Lookup Manager in Spatial Engineer 11 serves as a useful tool for managing and incorporating custom gauge parameters when necessary, ensuring precision in network design and configuration.
