About geophysical traces

A geophysical trace is simply a recording of some sort of geophysical property (as a number) down a borehole.

MEGS_Log allows you to graphically display a geophysical trace that has been saved in one of the Log Ascii Standard (LAS) formats. Each LAS file can contain one or more traces for a single borehole.

You can choose to display each trace in one of the three trace fields that scroll with the right borehole. You can set the minimum and maximum range horizontal display range for the trace, shift the display of the trace vertically and change the colour used to display the trace. MEGS_Log can also calculate the average value of the trace over a vertical range of the borehole.

Settings associated with each trace, such as the field, colour and range, are initially retrieved from the config file when the trace is first loaded.

MEGS_Log only lets you display traces, you cannot edit the original trace in any way.
