View files with SEG-Y Snapshot from Files module

Select Version of EA Desktop:

Files that appear in the Grid with a Scanned status are available for viewing in SEG-Y SnapShot. To scan files with a Not Scanned status, or to re-scan files marked as missing data or navigation, refer to Adding files to SEG-Y Scan.

The "snapshots" of your SEG-Y are compressed replicas for a quick view of time slices, live trace outline, time section and the EBCDIC header detail.
