Splice Input Formats:

1) Input of core data and Affine tables 2) Input of Stratigraphy Data

------INPUT OF CORE DATA ---------

Splicer can read a variety of ODP core data formats. The program was initially designed to read/display MST data (GRAPE density, magnetic susceptibility, etc.) in various ODP-specified formats.

ODP data in simple tab-delimited formats can be accomodated as well using the "ODP_Other" format.

Splicer input DATA FORMATs:

  1. MST95_Report
  2. TK_Report
  3. ODP_Other

The "MST_Report" format is verbose and and requires longer data input times.

The "TK_Report" format prefered since it is a shorter format and is easier/faster for Splicer to manage.

The "ODP Other" reads tab-delimited data (e.g. Excel text output) which follow one of several basic ODP identifier data labeling conventions.

NOTE: Due to the introduction of the JANUS database, ODP no longer supports the MST95 format (as of 4/27/96)

------------INPUT OF STRATIGRAPHY DATA--------------

Up to five different kinds of stratigraphy data can be input and displayed in the Composite (left) and Splice (right) panels of the main Splicer window.

The files can be developed on simple spreadsheet programs (such as Excel or Kaleidograph) and then exported as tab-delimited files and then transfer to the Sun workarea.

File format (Tab or space delimited, all on one line):
