LoggerSuite Software
The heart of the graphical user interface is the dashboard — the operator's control panel for depth control, wireline weight and tension, winch selection, tool configuration and power, telemetry tuning, and acquisition record/replay. Real-time Browser windows display conventional curves, full waveform sonic traces, and acoustic and optical borehole images, with sophisticated log headers and real-time processors.
WellCAD Browser
The WellCAD Browser add-on collects data directly in WellCAD, applies templates, supports real-time annotation, compares against reference/repeat data, runs QA/QC, and enables 3D display and field interpretation.
