Series Manual Mode

The series manual mode is similar to the guided manual picking mode. However, it is better suited to connected lines segments. The end of each segment you draw is automatically the start of the next segment, so you only have to click the end point of each line segment.

• By default, no amplitudes are stored with manual picks. To save amplitudes with your pick you must change the Manual Picks Have Zero Amplitude setting in your Seismic Preferences.

Using the Series Manual Mode

If the words Series Manual do not appear on the Current Pick Mode button (located on the Seismic window's Horizon Picking toolbar), you need to toggle off the current picking mode.

Click on the Current Pick Mode button and select Series Manual from the drop down list (or press <Shift> + <e> on your keyboard). The words Series Manual will now be displayed on this button. Follow these steps to pick on your seismic:

1. Click on a trace to indicate the beginning of a line segment.
2. Click on a trace where you want this segment to end. WinPICS draws a line up to that point.
3. Click a series of traces for the line to follow. WinPICS adds a straight segment to the line with each click.
4. Right-click or press <Esc> on your keyboard to end the current line. If you click on your seismic again, you will start a new line segment.

• If you are picking a series of disconnected segments along a horizon, it may be more efficient to use guided auto or guided manual picking mode.
