Trace header dump

Top  Previous  Next

 

The Trace Header Dump panel is a valuable tool for identifying trace header information, particularly when the byte locations of the input are unknown. It allows the user to scan the data and retrieve the corresponding values at specific byte locations, providing an efficient way to analyze SEG-Y trace headers.

Features of the Trace Header Dump Panel

1.Bytes Column

This column displays the byte locations within the trace headers. Each row corresponds to a specific byte or byte range that contains trace header information. By selecting a starting byte, users can investigate the relevant data.

2.Values Column

This column shows the values at the selected byte locations. The values are interpreted based on the selected format type (e.g., Int4, Int2, Float, etc.). This provides insight into what each byte represents in the trace header.

 

SGY_formats

 

Begin by selecting the appropriate format type from the dropdown menu (e.g., Int4, Int2, Float). The default format is Int4.
