Getting field data (SEG2) into the system

The Geometrics ES2401 recording instrument produces data files in the SEG2 format. Each file contains data from a single shot. Files are normally given names according to the shot number, e.g. 001.1, 002.1, 003.1, ....

If the files are already on the computer with the SU software, you are lucky. Just do these steps:

  1. Make your own directory (e.g.   mkdir   /data/SVAL98/arne)
  2. Copy the wanted files to this directory (e.g.   cp   /data/DEMO/001.1   /data/SVAL98/arne)
  3. Repeat step 2 for all the files you need

If your data is on diskettes, you can do one of the following:

You have got access to the floppy drive on the computer with the SU software
  1. Make your own directory (e.g.   mkdir   /data/sval98/arne )
  2. Move to this directory (e.g.   cd   /data/SVAL98/arne )
  3. Copy the wanted files from the diskette (e.g.   mcopy   a: )
  4. Repeat step 3 for all your diskettes

You have got access to a PC on the network

  1. Make your own directory on the SU system (e.g.   mkdir   /data/SVAL98/arne )
  2. Copy all the files on the diskettes to your PC
  3. Transfer the files from your PC to your directory on the SU system using ftp
