SEG-Y Export: Basic Keywords
Use this page to select common keywords for export to the SEG-Y file. This page is only visible after selecting the Enter Manually option on the Keywords page.
Note: For generic SEG-Y export, most packages expect that the Data Type should be "32 Bit Integer" for all keywords on this page.
Basic Header Keywords Column Descriptions
Select the keywords you want included in the SEG-Y export file from a
list of the most common keywords for export.
Keyword: The
name of the keyword. Place a check the box on the left to select
a
keyword for export, or remove the check to avoid exporting the keyword.
Byte Offset: The byte offset into the header for the keyword. This is the destination byte location in the exported file.
Data Type: Specify
the format you wish to
write the keyword in.
- IEEE Float: This is the normal 32 bit floating point format used on most modern computers.
- IBM Float: IBM 32 bit floating point format. This is the original floating point format for SEG-Y files. Certain applications expect floating point data to be in IBM format.
- 32 Bit Integer: Normal 32 bit (4 byte) integer data.
- 16 Bit Integer: Normal 16 bit (2 byte) integer data. Various common keywords are stored as 16 bit integers.
- 8 Bit Integer: Normal 8 bit (1 byte) integer data. This is not a common format, and is normally only used for specifying application specific flags.
Scale Factor: Specify
a scale factor to apply to a keyword before writing it to the
output file. Normally this will be left as 1, but
occasionally a
user might want to scale certain keywords such as the shot sequence
number or the coordinate values.
