- Data culling (remove spurious data points)
- Data smoothing
- Data decimating
------------ Data Culling
The user can specify maximum and minimum values for removing bad data from the raw input files. The user can also cull all data within nn cm of the top of each core to remove bad data values associated with core-top disturbance. The user can specify whether the entire file length is to be read for each hole, or a samller, definable subset of cores. For P-wave data in the MST95 format, the user can also culled values based on the signal strength channel value.
-------------- Data Smoothing
The user can smooth data after they have been culled using the smooth option. The smoothing fuction is gaussian, and it can be applied as a variable depth or pointwise smoothing filter. The entered smoothing width is the full-width, half-maximum dimension.
--------------- Data decimating
The user can reduce the number of datapoints using the data decimation option. The default setting is to use all datapoints, but the user can specify to read in every second (or every third, etc.) data point to reduce the data volume.
