microLYNX 98

Lynx Mining Systems Cairns, Australia

Behind the scenes ..

Written for Windows 95/98 & NT4 in VB5, which produces fast native machine language programs using the C++ compiler. At the core is the fast and up to date Access database engine, compatible with latest MS Office products. Extensive use of our own ActiveX components gives sound modularity to the system.

Familiar Windows user interface

Standard Windows menus, buttons, dialogs and context sensitive help provide a short learning curve.

Familiar Windows user interface

Clear dialogs with easy selection of data objects, display colours, line types, string types, even tool-tip help

microLYNX system features

Online reference manual in standard PDF format, clearly illustrated, with hyperlinks to relevant sections

microLYNX system features

A host of transfer functions to and from many other systems including DXF, Surpac, Datamine, Micromine, ascii text files.

microLYNX system features

Visualization subsystem embedded in main programs for instant access and easy scene construction

microLYNX system features

Full OpenGL rendering of all native system data objects combines the power of Access with the power of OpenGL

Sample Manager with powerful MS Access engine

Geologically oriented database setup with aliasing of table/field names so that databases can co-exist with external systems

Sample Manager with powerful MS Access engine

Easy data selection and manipulation of data objects
User friendly query builder

Sample Manager with powerful MS Access engine

Many types of display/plot format with overlays and high quality final output to virtually any device that can plot

Sample Manager with powerful MS Access engine

Data is presented as geologically oriented, ie as holes, costeans, samples, views, but can also be accessed as low level database entities - tables, queries, fields

Geology Manager models spatial objects

Generates polygonal model directly from sample data with depth from sample flitch width or sample length

Geology Manager models spatial objects

Easy wireframe construction with 2/3D linking between sections and assistance from the visualizer subsystem

Resource Manager combines spatial and grade data

Sub-divisible model cells and variation of cell sizes provide for good spatial resolution

Resource Manager combines spatial and grade data

Grade estimation techniques include Kriging and ISD with optional unfolding to a surface.

Survey Manager integrates all in 3D space

Visual string definition and editing functions include curve generation, bench generation, offsets, moving to files ..

Survey Manager integrates all in 3D space

Surface modelling functions (triangulation, gridding and contouring) handle virtually unlimited number of points

Survey Manager integrates all in 3D space

Volumes between surfaces computed by end area or directly from triangulated surfaces

Blast Designer assists open cut drill & blasting

Has the ability to interact with both current and design surfaces for better blast hole placement

Blast Designer assists open cut drill & blasting

With pre-split and/or trim blast generation and clear drilling pattern plots

Grade Control provides a handle on mined areas

Merges sampled blast hole data with digitized perimeters providing grade control plots and as mined information
