Menu Options
- P-Data Track: Click to the right to select the existing P-Data column that contains the measurements to which random values are to be added.
- Output Track: Click to the right to select the P-Data track where the output measurements are to be recorded. Any existing data in this track will be overwritten.
! Note that this is a P-Data column that must already exist.
- Minimum Value: This setting defines the minimum possible value for the random numbers.
- Maximum Value: This setting defines the maximum possible value for the random numbers.
- No Values < 0: Check this box to assure that negative values will not be posted to the output track. If the original value + random value is less than zero, the value that will be posted to the column will be 0.
- Apply to, All Boreholes vs. Currently Highlighted Borehole: Choose whether the program is to add the random numbers to the measurements for a single borehole (the currently-selected well) or to all of the active boreholes.
