Plotting Seismic Data

Displaying seismic data in bsegy format is fundamental to evaluating data quality, processing of the data, and interpretation of the data. Much can be gained or lost from our view depending on how we decide to view or plot the data. BSU has its own program, bplt, which can be used in conjunction with other processing steps to view engineering seismic data (or any other digital signals, including those from earthquake recordings). In addition to the BSU program bplt, one can employ other freely available software to view bsegy format data. For the examples here, we will assume that one has a BSEGY data set and done the conversions to BSEGY (see section 6.1.1 for an example of how to do this).
