Working with data

Page 2: Importing data in Oasis Montaj

In this Session

• Opening new or existing Project

• Importing data into Oasis Montaj

• Basic operations on database channels

• Gridding of simple data.

• Basic operations on grids.

Page 3: Importing data in Oasis Montaj

Opening new or existing Project

Def.Project file include links to all databases, grids and maps. Oasis Montaj adopt this kind files so that all previous analysis are recorded for further analysis or interpretation. Remember, at the end of session you need to make sure that you saved all your work to the project file opened.

Page 4: Importing data in Oasis Montaj

We have two options under project menu item, New and Open. If you are starting from scratch you choose “New” otherwise, choose “open”. Clicking any of the two will result in opening a file manager window (next slide).

It is recommended to open new directory of your new project. Transfer your data files to that directory save your work (e.g. database, grids, maps …etc.) their. It is also recommended to make backup for that directory each time you carry out analysis and modeling within your project to avoid loss of your work.

OM database

Page 9: Importing data in Oasis Montaj

Q. What does “database” mean?

a usually large collection of data organized especially for rapid search and retrieval (as by a computer)

Page 10: Importing data in Oasis Montaj

Q. What are the kinds of data I can import into Oasis Montaj?

Any data that can be tabulated in the form of columns can be imported to OM. The file format can be ascii, Spreadsheet (excel), databases …etc. In addition some industry standard formats like AMIRA and SEGY can also be imported.

We will concentrate on

Page 14: Importing data in Oasis Montaj

Importing ASCII files

ASCII files is a plain text file that can be generated, edited using any text editor such as notepad.

Data should be tabulated into columns with separation like space, tab or comma.

Page 15: Importing data in Oasis Montaj

Importing ASCII file

Browse for the ASCII file you want to import.

Page 16: Importing data in Oasis Montaj

Wizard optionThis option defines how the data in the ascii files are arranged. For example, the headers, the text separation and the data type (e.g. numbers, date …etc)

After defining the data in the file you may save this definitions into template files, if you have other files with similar formats. For subsequent file readings you use the template option instead of wizard.

Working with Array channels

Array channel are usually used when importing Resistivity, Seismic, GPR …etc.

X and Y here represent the location of observationOr modeling points at the earth’s surface. The Z channel

Cannot be a single value. That’s why we adopt array channelsIn place of ordinary single values ones.

How to import array channel using ASCII import option?

Well, this can be done in the definition of data format using the wizard as in the following example.
