The Data Entry Panels were designed to emulate the Log ASCII Standard (LAS) version 2.0 File.
"~W" (also known as "WELL INFORMATION SECTION") is a required section; has formatting
requirements; is preferably the second section; contains information on the well name, location, and
start and stop values of the data in this file.
"~P" (also known as ~PARAMETER INFORMATION SECTION") is an optional section; has
formatting requirements; contains information on parameters or constants relevant to the wellbore
such as mud resistivity, wireline engineer, truck number, elevation data, etc.
"~C" (also known as ~CURVE INFORMATION SECTION") is a required section; has formatting
requirements; contains curve mnemonics and their definitions in the order that they appear in the data
section.
"~A" (also known as ~ASCII LOG DATA") is a required section; has formatting requirements;
is the last section in the file and also referred to as the data section. The index of the data columns
is either Depth or Time. The index values always appear in the first column and each column of data must
be separated by at least one space (ASCII 32). All values in the ASCII log data section must be floating
point or integer (long) values. Other formats such as Text or Exponential values are not supported.
