INTRODUCTION
The In-Port Pro app can display four types of plots. These are useful
for validating the survey. These plots cannot be printed directly, but if
necessary, you can take screen shots, transfer them to a PC, and print
them using Word. For more control of plots and printing, we suggest
using the In-Profile software.
CHECKSUMS
Checksums are the sum of the 0 and 180 reading at each depth. The
ideal checksum is 0. In practice, checksums are typically some small
non-zero value. Checksum plots are displayed in the reading units used
in the survey.
CHANGE FROM
INITIAL
‘Change in initial’ shows the change in profile (cumulative
displacement). There are three profiles shown: current-initial, last-initial,
and initial-initial (which plots on the 0 line).
CHANGE FROM
LAST
This plot shows also shows cumulative displacement, but in this case,
the change in profile is plotted as current - last, and last-last (which
plots on the 0 line).

PROFILE
This plot shows cumulative deviation, the profile of the casing.
VIEW DATA
This shows a table of data. If your checksum plot shows a bad reading,
look at the data table to identify the depth and pass (0 or 180) of the
bad reading. If you are still on site, you can reopen the survey and make
the correction with the inclinometer probe. The steps are:
1.
Tap and hold the depth the the bad reading.
2.
Choose 0 or 180.
3.
The Reader displays that depth and a live reading. Orient the
probe for 0 or 180, insert it into the casing, and lower it to the
depth displayed on the Reader.
4.
Click OK to enable recording. Tap the record button to record
a replacement reading. Continue upwards as needed, or tap
the “Pause” button to exit the survey.
