WinSev 6.4 Geoelectrical Sounding
Interpretation for Windows®
This
software works under Windows® 32 and 64 bits. It takes
benefit of its display qualities, uses all the peripherals for printing and
allows the transfer of the graphs by copy-and-paste and as metafiles. The use of the software is easy and intuitive.
The measured values and the array geometry can be loaded as ABEM, Syscal, SAS1000, PASI, Astier or Geotrade files or be entered conveniently in a spreadsheet. The electric model with up to 20 layers can be proposed by the user or calculated automatically by the software starting from the measured values (inverse modelling). In both cases, the software allows automatic adjustment (least squares) of the model. During adjustment, it is possible to freeze any of the resistivities and thicknesses, for example for the calibration on a nearby mechanical survey. The program allows also bulk processing of several soundings from a simple text file.
This software is designed for Schlumberger, Wenner and pole-pole arrays. The possibility of displaying several surveys simultaneously facilitates the comparison between nearby surveys. The displayed curves, as well as the electric model of the active survey, with altitudes of the grounds and its raw data, are printed on any printer supported by Windows® and can also be transferred as metafiles. Version 6 makes it possible to carry out electric profiles of surveys.
This
software may also extract one or more (up to 100) soundings from data
of resistivity tomography in Wenner spread. The data may be extracted
from sorted files produced by the program RES2DINV (not supplied). The
soundings extracted by the software may be used to draw an electric
profile as a layered earth model (right hand profile).
This
software is also convenient for measuring precisely the ground resistivity according to IEEE 81 part 1 Guide for Measuring Earth Resistivity as
required, for example, by the IEEE 80 Guide for Safety in AC Substation Grounding. A simplified version of this software limited to 2
layers is also proposed for use in accordance with this standard.
El programa de interpretación de sondeos eléctricos Winsev ha sido traducido en español, incluso su manual de instrucciones, para una facilidad optimal en el mundo hispánico.
Le logiciel de sondages
électriques Winsev peut également être configuré en français et livré avec un
mode d’emploi en français.
