 GENERATING REMAINING SHOTS USING MESA

1. Open MESA to load Bin in

2. Go to layout – recv – file import
3. Click import window – open data file
4. Define : Set First Line, Line Number (RL) (first line), recv, X,Y, & Z coordinate by clicking
appropriately and

GENERATING BININ USING MESSA

1. MESSA doesn’t recognize the SPS format from spspreplotgen4. Therefore, input the SPS
from spspreplotgen4 into OMNI. Then output the SPS.
2. Call in the SPS using MESSA.
3. Output your sps from MESSA. Compare this with the any old binin format. This will
enable you delete the un-necessary columns.
4. Binin is ready without the need of going through the stress of OMNI WORKSHOP!
