Introduction

This guide will help technicians use the CreateInclinFile.exe program. The purpose of the program is to combine the recovered .txt data file with the .raw tool calibration data and to format them into a file that can be opened using Inclin. CreateInclinFile.exe searches the .txt file for the tool name and automatically selects the appropriate calibration information. While the program is running, the user is prompted to enter their user name. The user name is inserted into the final file.

2. When prompted, select a .txt file.

3. Select the .txt file that corresponds to the survey you wish to process and select OK. If the user receives the message shown below, the .txt file contains more than one survey.
