Mine Block

This option allows you to select blocks to be added to the mining schedule until the limiting material target for the current period has been met. Simply point at the blocks and the Graphical Sequencer identifies each block and extracts from the Graphical Sequencer database data regarding the material it encloses, updates the histograms with the accumulated Quantities and Qualities and waits for you to Accept or Reject each block from the schedule.

Function Name:

  • MINE BLOCK

If you choose Apply the block is added to the schedule otherwise, Cancel will cause the changes to the histograms to be undone and the block left unsequenced as before.

When you have achieved your period targets and you continue sequencing blocks, the Graphical Sequencer displays a form with buttons that provide three ways to proceed: Ignore, Partial, or Reselect.

Choosing Ignore will override the target limit and mine the whole block.

Partial will mine the selected block up to the target limit and the Graphical Sequencer will indicate to you what percentage of the block has been sequenced.

To select another block you must choose Reselect.

As blocks are sequenced they are colour filled and the period and sequence number is drawn inside the block in the form 'p.s' where p is the period number and s is the sequence within this period.
