RAW Binary Lattice File .RAW, .BIN Export Automation Options

Since the Export Options dialog is not displayed when the program is driven from an automation script, an options string can be specified in the script. The string consists of comma-separated parameters, which specify the behavior of the various import options. A typical example would be:

" BlankMethod=BM_FIXED, FixedBlankValue=1.70141E+038"

This would indicate that the NoData value for a lattice or grid node is a custom value, and that value is equal to Surfer's NoData value.

Option

Action

Default

DataType

Data type for data nodes in file:

0=Signed 8 bits (character)

1=Unsigned 8 bits (BYTE),

2=Signed 16 Bits (short)

3=Unsigned 16 Bits (short)

4=Signed 32 Bits(integer)

5=Unsigned 32 Bits (integer)

6=Signed 64 Bits

7=32-Bit float

8=64-Bit Double

1

SkipAfter

Use application-supplied scaling parameters

No

StartOffset

Offset of first data node in file.

0

BigEndian

True if data are in Motorola MSB (big endian)format.

False if data are in Intel LSB (little endian) format.

False

IndexOrder

Index order:

0="X, then Y, then Z"

1="Y, then X, then Z"

2="Z, then X, then Y"

4="X, then Z, then Y"

5="Y, then Z, then X"

6="Z, then Y, then X".

0

BlankMethod

Method for assigning values to NoData nodes:

BM_DATA_MIN = Minimum value of the lattice

BM_DATA_MAX = Maximum value of the lattice.

BM_TYPE_MIN = Minimum value of the inherent data type.

BM_TYPE_MAX = Maximum value of the inherent data type.

BM_FIXED = A user specified value

BM_TYPE_MAX

FixedBlankValue

Used if BlankMethod is BM_FIXED

No
