Database
(Ordered Parameter Files)
An OPF database is a collection of Ordered Parameter Files (OPFs) related to a particular Line subdirectory. Collectively, the database stores large classes of data, including acquisition parameters, geometry information, statics and other surface consistent information, and pointers between the source, receiver and CDP domains.
The Map and Index files store information about the dataset. This information gives you the ability to access traces in a
non-sequential order. These files also make it possible for you to access information about the Dataset without having to
mount a tape
Parameter Tables are simple flat files used to store lists of information in a very generalized structure. To increase
access speed and reduce storage requirements, they are stored in binary format.

Contents of OPF Subdirectories
LIN (Line) Contains information that is constant within a line., such as final datum, type of units, source type, total number of shots.
TRC (Trace) Contains information which varies by trace, such as FB pick, trim statics, source-receiver offsets.
SRF(Surface location) Contains information which varies by surface receiver location, such as surface location XY coordinates, surface location elevations, surface location statics, number of traces received at each surface location, and receiver fold.
SIN (Source Index #) Contains information which varies by source point, such as source XY coordinates, source elevations, source uphole times, nearest surface location to source, source statics
CDP (Common Depth Point) Contains information which varies by CDP location, such as CDP XY coordinates, CDP elevation, CDP fold, nearest surface location.
CHN (Channel) Contains information which varies by channel number, such as channel gain constants, channel statics, if appropriate.
OFB (Offset Bin) Contains information which varies by offset bin number, such as surface consistent amplitude analysis. OFB is created when certain ProMAX processes are run, such as surface consistent amplitude analysis.
