NAME

genwaw - BSU program sets geometry during conversion from SEG-2 to bsegy format (C-Language Version)

SYNOPSIS

genwaw [ no parameters ]

DESCRIPTION

Basic Seismic Utilities (BSU) interactive program for setting geometry. Code optimal for a walk-a-way type of data collection. Code is for SEG-2 format (*.DAT) files. This code prompts the user for shot and geophone locations. It should be run in the directory where the SEG-2 *.DAT files are located. The code scans the directory contents and builds a list of the files needing to have headers corrected for geometry. One use that makes geometry setting less of a burden is to set geometry for temporary local coordinates (ex. line along x-axis), then employ BSU program "bcrd" to rotate and translate coordinates to a final system. This program is run if the SEG-2 headers were not correctly set during acquisition (a common occurance). C-Language Version.

Options

None

This is an interactive program. It scans the directory for *.DAT (SEG-2) files and prompts the user for source and geophone coordinates from this list of files.

EXAMPLE:
BE SURE TO BE IN THE DIRECTORY WITH SEG-2 files.

genwaw (then answer questions, assumes all record have same number of channels) Following is an example for a directory with only one file.

genwaw

Enter Number of Channels 1

GEOPHONE ORIENTATIONS

Geophone Az 90=East Ver 180=Down

Channel=0 Enter Geophone Orientation Az Ver

0 180

... repeats for each channel

SOURCE LOCATION-------------------------------------

0001.DAT: Enter Source X Y Z

0 0 0

Trace:00 Enter Receiver X Y Z

10.5 0 0

Example: one file, 0001.DAT in directory. Vertical component recording, 1 channel in each shot. Source at (0,0,0), receiver at (10.5,0,0): (x,y,z).

FILES

xxxx.DAT

where xxxx are file base names scanned in SEG-2 format.

standard output

Prompts user for source and receiver information.

genwaw.lst

Echo check of input parameters in listing file. NOTE: genwaw will create a child directory, LST , and all the xxxx.lst files are saved there (converted by egg2seg which is called from inside genwaw.
