The SCOUT Pro is a new generation data logger. It offers the unique combination of high performance, ruggedness, and ease-of-use appreciated by many wireline logging operators worldwide.
It supports all tools implementing ALT protocol including Mount Sopris/ALT tools with QuickLink (QL) Telemetry, and it is optimized for use with the 2nd generation Acoustic and Optical Televiewers – collecting data at baud rates up to 500,000 bps. The new system also offers compatibility with Geovista and Kuster probe lines.
The hardware incorporates the latest electronic components with embedded systems controlled via the specially developed LoggerSuite Windows interface program.

LoggerSuite Software
LoggerSuite software is compatible with all ALT & Mount Sopris data loggers. The software is easy to use and the interface is conform to the MS Windows standard.
The heart of the graphical user interface is the dashboard, the operators control panel to select and control all system functions, monitor the data acquisition process and observe the logging tool status. The dashboard consists of multiple threads running concurrently and handling specific system tasks simultaneously.
The dashboard provides access to the following windows :
- Depth control
- Tool configuration, power control, and advanced tool settings
- Telemetry control and tuning
- Data sampling record and replay control
- System status display
- Wireline weight indicator display
- Data browser and processor control windows
Browser windows are used for real time data monitoring and offer a wide choice of display and printing options for conventional curves, full wave form sonic traces, acoustical and optical borehole images. A header editor is available to provide sophisticated log headers with graphics. Special processors can be activated and configured for real time processing (acoustic velocity picking, spectral gamma display and stacking).
Using the WellCAD Browser add-on module allows a real-time connection to the WellCAD data processing platform enabling the user to apply templates, compare currently logged data with reference / repeat data or run processes. QA / QC tasks, data preprocessing and field interpretation can be executed on incoming data.
