Topic:
What does Option #33: Estimate seismic volume size do?

Description:

Solution:
This option estimates the size of 2D or 3D vertical, 3D time slice, or 3D
SurfaceSlice volumes.

This function allows the user to estimate the disk space requirements of a new
vertical, time slice, or SurfaceSlice volume prior to its creation and can be
used for either 2D or 3D data.  The user enters values for the number of samples
per trace, min and max CDP ranges, CDP increment, min and max line numbers, line
increment, min and max time values, and data storage format.

PROCEDURE:

1.) Option #1 - Initialize access to data area.
    - Enter the project name and password.
    - Select Exploration as Data Area Type.
     
2.) Option #33 - Estimate seismic volume size.
    - Select volume
      1 - Vvol 
      2 - Hvol 
      3 - Svol 
    - Enter volume >1
    - Select survey (Y?N) ? >n
    - Vertical file size information: (vvol)
    - Enter data type (3 = 3D, 2 = 2D) > 3
    - Enter number of samples per trace = 2501
    - Enter min cdp = 1
    - Enter max cdp = 500
    - Enter cdp increment = 1
    - Enter min line = 1
    - Enter max line = 1000
    - Enter line increment = 1
    - Enter data format (8, 16 or 32 bit) = 8
    - Ok to continue ? (y/n) >y
    Displays:
      Number of samples/trace = 2501
      Data format size        = 1
      Brick information:
      brick_p_size        = 8 
      brick_q_size        = 2 
      brick_r_size        = 2784 
      brick size in bytes = 45056 
      number of i traces      = 500
      number of j traces      = 1000
      number of i bricks      = 250 
      number of j bricks      = 125 
      New file size    (bytes) = 1408045056.000000 
    
3.) Option #2 - Terminate access to the data area.

4.) Option #99 - Exit IESX_Utilities.
