Save Splicer Data File:

Once the compositing process is completed and all cores have been optimally aligned relative to each other, the core data files with a calculated meters composite depth (mcd) channel can be written to an output DATA FILE.

These files are designed for plotting and display using MacIntosh or PC graphing programs. The files are not formatted for Splicer input.

The OUPUT DATAFILE is written to the same location where the Affine Table is located.

This file is essentially identical to the input file except that an additional column containing the "meters composite depth" scale is included.

If the raw input data have been processed by user-defined cull criteria (see "Cull Data" help pages), then the output DATA FILE will only contain those data which passed the defined cull criteria. If data were smoothed, then an additional column containing the smoothed data will be written to the output DATAFILE.

DATA OUTPUT file format (Tab-delimited):

Site Hole Core Type Sect Int1 Int2 mbsf RawValue SmValue Offset mcd

EXAMPLE: 926 B 1 H 1 13.50 13.50 0.14 10.00 10.00 0.00 0.14 926 B 1 H 1 16.50 16.50 0.17 8.00 8.00 0.00 0.17 926 B 1 H 1 19.50 19.50 0.19 9.00 9.00 0.00 0.19 926 B 1 H 1 22.50 22.50 0.22 8.00 8.00

Where:

RawValue: Data value from raw, input dataset

SmValue: Smoothed data value after processing during data input

Offset: Depth-shift in meters which must be added to (subtracted from) the drilled depth (mbsf) to obtain the composite depth scale (mcd)
mcd: meters composite depth
