DIPLOMAT™ Copy
DIPLOMAT COPY is a flexible, powerful and fast copying program for data held on media types commonly found in the oil and gas exploration industry.

DIPLOMAT COPY includes an "intelligent" copy feature for SEGY and SEGD data that allows onscreen plots of the data to be viewed during copying and which extracts index information from tape headers for updating databases and Databanks.

Standard Features
  • No knowledge of data format required
  • Any SCSI interface device may be used for input or output - for example 9-track tape drive, 3480, 3490E, 3590, LTO Ultrium, DLT cartridge drives and Exabyte 8mm drive
  • Includes DPTS tape drivers for long seismic records and enhanced error recovery
  • Batch mode or interactive operation
  • Interactive operation allows full Operator control over input and output devices for maximum recovery of data on decaying and stiction tapes
  • Copy speed is only limited by the drive hardware - a 2400 ft, 6250 bpi tape can be copied to cartridge in less than 5 minutes, a 3480 cartridge can be copied in under 4 minutes
  • Editing and concatenation of input tapes
  • Auditing capability to assess condition of media
  • Supports the use of cartridge stackers to minimize Operator workload and maximize throughput
  • Audit trail maintained of files copied and errors encountered
  • Onscreen plotting of selected records and/or traces (e.g. near trace plot) for SEGY and SEGD data during copy (can also be saved as TIFF files for subsequent viewing or producing hard copy plots)
  • Analyzes run list, index files and copy logs to produce a summary of data transcribed and any errors encountered, warning the Operator of possible anomalies - for example, missing files, missing traces, parity errors
  • Index information extracted from SEGY and SEGD headers and index files created for updating databases (e.g. Diplomat MultiStore) or Databanks
 
Additional Features
  • Encapsulation and de-encapsulation of RODE, TAR and IBM Standard Label data
  • Hexadecimal dump feature for solving tape and format problems
  • ASCII/EBCDIC file conversion
  • Extraction of data based on navigation X/Y co-ordinates
  • Ability to insert navigation data from navigation tapes into trace headers
System Requirements
  • Intel compatible Pentium PC
  • Windows NT V4.0 / 2000 / XP Professional
DIPLOMAT COPY is part of the DIPLOMAT™ data transcription suite of programs.
