Calibration slope mismatch warning #491

Closed cwmagee closed 4 years ago

cwmagee commented 4 years ago

Is it possible for SQUID 3 to give us a warning if: 1: for a non-floating calibration slope, if the fitted calibration slope for the reference zircon is NOT withing undertainty of the value used in the calibration equation. 2: For any unknowns grouped int oa single age, if the calibration slope of that group is not withing incertainty of either: 2a. The slope value in the calibration equation 2b. The slope of the reference zircon, OR

  1. The slope of any other unknow groupings of the session ?

Basically there is no facility for warnings that accompany expressions. And to maintain ultimate flexibility, I don't think we want to "bake" them in as inevitably you will want to do the "?" in your list above. It might be possible to write an expression for point #1 (although getting a "warning" is a different matter) Making comparisons with individual unknowns can't be done automatically because each squid project has different unknowns. You can certainly check all that stuff individually on a case by case basis and even build custom expressions for that purpose but ultimately you would have to check the output of those "manually".

Maybe one could build a separate "warning" utility that allows you to select any two expressions to compare but that is a brand new can of worms.
