A Step by Step Walkthrough example

• Import IDEO ODP Database ASCII Data file

Source: LDEO ODP Database search
Sample input data file: 763B-ngt.dat
Sample output XML file: ldeo.xml

Follow the following steps, and input required parameters

• Step 0: "Input file", "field separator" and "section prefix". For file separator, if it is Tab, input '\t' as the screenshot shows

• Step 1: Start and end line numbers

• Step 2: Label line number and Unit line number. For this example file it does not have unit line, so keep it the same as "Label Line Number"

• Step 3: "Name Column number" and "Depth Column number". The final section name will be using "Name Column number" field and "Section prefix" in step 0. So in this example, the section name that a depth values belongs to will look like "763B-ngt.dat-334.0610", 334.0610 is the depth value with using column index 1 in this step.

• Step 4: Check those data fields that you want to convert. These text values are picked using "field separators" and the label line you selected in step 0 and 2.

• Import a Geotek data file
