Click the Grids | New Grid | Variogram | New Variogram command to create a new variogram from a data file in the plot window. When you create a new variogram, the New Variogram dialog is displayed after the data file is selected.
The New Variogram dialog contains options for setting up the variogram grid used for the variogram. Once the variogram is created, the variogram properties, such as the variogram model used, are set through the Variogram Properties located in the Properties window. Once the variogram grid is created, it is used for the duration of the variogram modeling effort. See Variogram Grid for more information on variogram grids.
