Acquisition System Software

Dashboard
The heart of the graphical user interface is called the Dashboard and consists of multiple threads running concurrently and handling specific system tasks. The dashboard is also the operator’s control panel. It is used to select and control all systems functions and to monitor data acquisition.

Browser and processors (real time data monitoring)
A browser is a client process. The browser offers the operator of the logging system a number of different on-line display facilities to present log data on the screen in a user-friendly, easy controllable, attractive layout. Depending on the tool category, different Browser are used to display log data such as conventional curves, full wave form sonic, borehole images…


Tol file
Information specific to a particular tool is contained in a unique tool configuration file, which has the extension *. TOL Information contained in the *TOL file is used by different components of the system for initializing Dashboard components (tool power, data protocol, etc…) as well as setting parameters for client processes (browser and processors) handling data calibration, data processing, data display or printing. A copy of the TOL file is included in each data file acquired.
