Instructions and screenshots
The user can define a ray-parameter range for which the synthetic data will be modelled. This can be done from the interface, or a ray-parameter range can be loaded from the Load data button. By default the ray-parameters are set to 11 values ranging between 1.00E-5 and 1.00E-4.
Whenever the ray-parameter range is adjusted by the user, the plotted angle range will be updated based on the loaded P-velocity. It needs to be mentioned that the current implementations of the different modelling types are valid for pre-critical angles only and computing synthetic data for post-critical angles is not supported yet.
In the situation that the maximum ray-parameter as set in the interface would translate into a post-critical angle for certain parts of the interval, the corresponding well logs will be displayed in red. This means that the maximum ray-parameter needs to be reduced or the maximum P-velocity needs to be lowered by increasing the up-scaling before the modelling can be performed.
The ray-parameter range can also be loaded directly from a .txt or .ascii file. In this case the ray-parameters are expected to be stored in a single column with no other data present in the file.
