Leapfrog Live Link

IMDEX and SEEQUENT have combined to produce the ioGASâ„¢-Leapfrog live link for rapid 3D visualisation of geochemical data in real-time. Geoscientific data can be analysed in ioGAS and then visualised and modelled in the 3D environment using Leapfrog Geo. Geochemistry parameters can be added as new attributes and transformed into 3D interpolants for enhancing geological models.

The ioGASâ„¢ Link is sold and licensed as a separate add-on to the Leapfrog Geo software. The link will only run with an active licence of Leapfrog Geo, enabled for the ioGASâ„¢ Link. You will also need Leapfrog Geo v1.3 or later and ioGASâ„¢ v5.0 or later. For further information including how to obtain a trial version of the Leapfrog Geo software or to purchase the ioGASâ„¢ Link please contact your local Leapfrog sales team.

QGIS Plugin

This plugin is developed by IMDEX and includes a live link to view and refresh data in ioGAS and QGIS in real time. Alternatively, .gas files can be imported into QGIS as temporary scratch layers or GeoPackage files. The plugin is compatible with Windows or Mac OS operating systems and requires a long term release installation of QGIS 3.22  or later and ioGAS 7.3.

ArcGIS Pro Add-In

This add-in is developed by IMDEX to import ioGASâ„¢ attribute map symbology and supporting data into ArcGIS Pro as a point layer. Data is imported as an attribute point feature class in the project default geodatabase. Requires installed versions of ArcGIS Pro 3.0 and ioGAS 8.0 or later .

Geoscience ANALYST Live Link

Geoscience ANALYST is a free 3D visualisation and communication software for integrated, multi-disciplinary earth models and data developed by Mira Geoscience. The ioGASâ„¢ for Geoscience ANALYST link is available in Geoscience ANALYST Pro, an add-on module which offers object and data editing and creation functionality, data analysis, interpretation tools and utilities.

The link is purchased separately through Mira Geoscience and activated via the Geoscience ANALYST Pro licence. Contact [email protected] for more information.

GOCAD® Mining Suite Live Link

GOCAD® Mining Suite is a customised extension of the SKUA-GOCAD™ – Paradigm® software product developed by Mira Geoscience and used for the interpretation and modelling of geological data. The ioGAS™ for GOCAD® Mining Suite link enables data to be worked with in real-time and for the changes to be viewed in both programs.

The link is purchased separately through Mira Geoscience and activated via the GOCAD® Mining Suite licence. Contact [email protected] for more information.

acQuire GIM Suite Integration

Import data directly from an acQuire GIM Suite database using the acQuireDirect API into ioGASâ„¢. The API enabled users to import data using a pre-existing section file or by manually choosing drillhole or point samples based on selection criteria. Requires installed versions of ioGASâ„¢ 7.0 or later, the acQuireDirect link component and access to acQuire GM Suite database.

Micromine 2020 Integration

The Micromine team has teamed up with IMDEX’s ioGAS™ to implement the ability to import ioGAS™’ native .gas files, directly into Micromine for our next major release, Micromine 2020.

Datamine MapInfo Discover Integration

Datamine Discover is an add-on module for MapInfo Professional®. Within the Disocver import menu is a special utility to import ioGAS™ data directly into MapInfo and plot the sample locations in geographical space displayed with the last saved attribute symbology. Separate legend tables are also created during import.

Subsequent changes in ioGASâ„¢ can be made and then saved with the updates displayed using the Discover ioGASâ„¢ import utility refresh option. ioGASâ„¢ can also export data as Tab files which can be opened directly in MapInfo.

Minalyzer CS Integration

Export high-resolution geochemistry data captured from the continuous XRF scanner Minalyzer CS via Minalogger, the Minalyze web-based drill core visualization software, as native .gas files that can be read directly in ioGASâ„¢.
