Century Geophysical - Log Program for Logging Tools
The Log Program by Century Geophysical is a software suite designed to manage and record logs, calibrate tools, and set up log recording parameters. It includes multiple windows such as the Control Menu, Collect Window, and Depth and Strain Measurement Window. The program allows for detailed calibration of logging tools, including those with magnetic and gyro deviation sensors, and supports system calibration like depth factors. Each logging tool and system has its separate calibration files, ensuring precise data acquisition. The Display program within the suite enables real-time monitoring and printing of log data viewed in a waterfall display. Additionally, the Help Log window provides detailed descriptions of functions, tools, and systems such as the Compu-Log system, drawworks, and S3000 logging truck. Diagnostic signals from the System VI, like tool current and voltage, can be monitored through the Status button, which helps in system troubleshooting and maintenance.
The Log Program is used to record logs, perform tool calibrations, set log recording parameters, system calibration such as depth factors, and open/close caliper devices on the logging tools. The Log Main Menu is shown with the Control Menu, Collect Window (tool parameters), Depth and Strain Measurement Window. All windows can be moved to the task bar, except the Depth Window.
Log menu has windows that will open automatically: Control Menu, Collect Window, Strain Window and Depth Window.
Tool transmits its serial number and a data string to the computer. Each Logging System and Logging Tool has separate calibration files.
Once the tool calibration file is updated, the new calibrations will be used for each additional log that is run.
Tool calibration menu is used for logging tools with magnetic and gyro deviation sensors.
Rotational logs from the deviation test stand are imported into the menu and the calibration coefficients are output and saved to the calibration directory.
The Display program which is used to display and print the log being collected and can viewed in real-time waterfall display. Values being recorded in the log file may be viewed numerically in the Collect Window of Log.
Help Log window describes each function of the Log program. Descriptions of each logging tool, the Compu-Log system, the drawworks, and S3000 logging truck are also available.
The Status button allows the user to view many of the diagnostic signals coming for the System VI such as tool current, voltage, FSK signals, High Speed signals, plus and minus 5 volts from the encoder, etc.
