  1. Specify the units for time values, X/Y coordinates, and depth values.
  2. Click <Add Row>, and enter the measured depth, inclination and azimuth from your survey. Repeat until you have entered all the survey values.
  3. Click <Compute Dogleg>to get a good estimation of the true vertical depth and dog leg severity inside the well. You'll get a message if any required data (inclination and azimuth) are missing. After you click this button, the values display in radian.
  4. Click <Update> to calculate the survey time using the time/depth curve. When you make changes and click this button, you'll update all the values within the blue shaded area of the dialog box.
