The ODC output files from the BATHY2010 Bathy-2010 system on the ship will need to be converted to into a SEGY format for post-processing.This is because for general use and for distribution to NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). This conversion is necessary because, at some point in time (Windows update?) during one of the Windows updates, the SEGY files being output by the BATHY software during acquisition were could no longer being able to be read by any post-processing SEGY application, even including the BATHY software itself. Therefore the ODC files will need to should be converted into new SEGY files using an updated SyQwest software package (ver. 2.0.2.5). This software is installed on the Petrel station in the Downhole Measurements lab on the Core Deck.
To do thisconvert a file, open BATHY 2010PC and go to Tools → Convert ODC to SEGY. Navigate to the ODC file to convert, select Open and a window will open as below.

So in the ODC folder create a new folder called "SEGY_corrected" for these corrected SEGY files. So and at the end of the Expedition also make sure that these files get copied to DATA1 with the other raw data.
