NAME

btor - BSU program to transfer geophone azimuths to bsegy headers

SYNOPSIS

btor [ -h | lstfil | prfx | isw1 | maxtr ]

DESCRIPTION

Basic Seismic Utilities (BSU) to transfer horizontal geophone azimuths from a file to the bsegy headers of a VSP data set. The data files to be processed should follow the bsegy naming convention (1 alpha numeric prefix character, followed by a sequence number, followed by .seg). The sequence number in the file name also appears as the file number (first column of triplets). The usual application is to first determine the down-hole geophone orientations by PCA analysis (bhod) and then use the file produced from that process, bhod.lst, in the btor run (bhod.lst is specified by lstfil). The file produced from the hodogram analysis will consist of [file number, R-azimuth, and T-azimuth] triplets. Code is in Fortran 77.

Options

-h

Online help giving details on command line arguments

lstfil

Input file name with triplets (sequence number, R-azimuth, T-azimuth).

prfx

Character prefix for file names to be processed.

isw1

Switch to control application for different source patterns.

0=Apply to headers of sequence number file (typical
vertical hammer source).
-1=Apply to headers of sequence number file and one less
than sequence number.

(Typical for horizontal hammer source).

+1=Apply to headers of sequence number file and one more
than sequence number.

(Typical for horizontal hammer source).

maxtr

Maximum number of traces in a shot record (must be either 6 or 7)

6=3 down-hole, 3 up-hole reference phone

7=3 down-hole, 3 up-hole reference, 1 Load Cell on hammer

NOTE:
If invoked with no options, will prompt user for input parameters.

EXAMPLE:
btor bhod.lst w -1 6

There are 6 traces per record, triplets in file bhod.lst, file names constructed from sequence number (first column in bhod.lst file). The sequence numbers would be 2, 4, 6,... and files processed would be numbered w002.seg, w001.seg, w004.seg, w003.seg, etc.

FILES

btorxxxx.seg

Output data sets. Named according to convention (first 4char btor, the next 4char are the first 4char of the input file name, suffix .seg)

standard output

produces a progress bar

btorbhod.lst

Echo check of input parameters in listing file.
