topcon - BSU reads a survey file (*.nez) and BISON Seismograph file, creates *.xyz file
topcon [ -h | topf | bisf | lid | shdp | is | nch | vpn | ir | esh | isa | isv | ira | ita ]
Basic Seismic Utilities (BSU) reads a Northing, Easting, Elevation (*.nez) survey file and BISON Seismograph generated file (includes some header information). Writes a file (*.xyz) which combines both survey and Bison information. If one runs bis2seg, an *.seg file will be created with the data part of the Bison file. Running bhed with both the *.xyz file and the *.seg files as input produces a new *.seg file with all the header information attached. Much of this is can be automated using programs genvsp (for down-hole, vertical seismic profiles), or genref (for surface reflection or refraction shooting). These two latter programs generate executable bash scripts which call topcon and bis2seg. If the seismograph is not a Bison, an alternative program, topcon2 may be considered. It is suitable for use with seismographs that output data in SEG-2 format. Fortran 77.

|
isv |
Source polarization VERTICAL angle. This is measured from 0 (zenith) to 180 (nadir). | ||
|
ira |
Reference geophone polarization, AZIMUTH or "R-component". Author uses a stationary reference phone to monitor variations in source. If you don’t use one, set to zero. | ||
|

EXAMPLE:
topcon stp001.nez x1wl0001 00X1 .0 1 6 0001 0006 1 0. 270
135 0 270
Read survey data from stp001.nez, other header data from Bison file x1w10001. Line id is set to 00X1, shot at zero depth, channels run from 1 to 6, (VP0001 to VP0006 in *.nez file). This is the first shot, 0. meters datum shift, source delivers blow to WEST (270deg.), blow inclined 135 degrees from vertical, reference geophone R-component arrow points NORTH (0 degrees), T-component arrow points WEST (270 degrees). See BSU User’s Guide for more details.

in_file.xyz
Name convention is input file name with .xyz added. For example above, x1wl0001.xyz would be the output file name. This is the file to be read by bhed.
standard output
lists header information from Bison file (time of shot, etc.) and some *.nez file info.
in_file.lst
Echo check of input parameters.
