Data Orientation Convention

The Data Orientation Convention allows you to specify the orientation format of data collected on traverses.

The following Data Orientation Conventions are available:

• Dip/Dip Direction
• Strike(Right)/Dip (right-hand rule for strike)
• Strike(Left)/Dip (left-hand rule for strike)
• Trend/Plunge (use this for linear measurements or poles to planes).

For the Oriented Core Traverse types (i.e., Linear BH Oriented Core, Curved BH Oriented Core) the Data Orientation Convention is always Alpha/Beta (i.e., oriented core measurements). This is indicated in the Data Orientation Convention drop down and cannot be changed by the user for oriented core Traverse types.
