September 29 - 30, 2010

This seminar is designed to teach the use of SuperACE and the log grades and defect rules as applied in this region. The instructors demonstrate how to use the PC and Handheld programs to input data, edit, download, and write reports. Defaults, tables, and other aspects of the program are reviewed. SuperACE allows the user to input log lengths as they are bucked, apply sorts, grades, and defects as they are done by log scalers. Log scaling measurements, grading, and defect rules are reviewed. A field session demonstrates the use of this knowledge to measure the trees and apply the scaling rules in SuperACE to create the same volumes as determined by the log scalers.
