NAME

bfit - BSU program solves for interval velocity from pick times in headers (C-Language)

SYNOPSIS

bfit [ -h | infile emin emax labl ]

DESCRIPTION

Basic Seismic Utilities program solves for interval velocity using pick times in headers of a VSP (Vertical Seismic Profile) data set. The user specifies the depth interval to be analysed using the minimum and maximum elevations. A two character label is used to identify the well. C-Language Version.

Options

-h

Online help giving details on command line arguments

infile

Input file name

emin

Minimum elevation (bottom of zone to be investigated)

emax

Maximum elevation (top of zone to be investigated)

labl

Two character user supplied label to identify the analysis

NOTE:
If invoked with no options, will prompt user for input parameters.

EXAMPLE:
bfit w001.seg 900. 920. A1

File w001.seg is processed by bfit. The zone to be analysed extends from an elevation of +900 to +920 meters (presumably ground level is at an elevation above +920 meters. The analysis is labeled A1. A postscript file, bfit.ps, is generated, and shows the data points with a solid line indicating the calculated travel times for the solution velocity.

FILES

bfit.ps

Post script file with plot

standard output
