A TOOLBOX FOR YOUR DATA INPUT, OUTPUT, REFORMAT AND QC REQUIREMENTS

Magma has been developed to provide a highly efficient range of data manipulation modules, flexible enough to handle all types of exploration data as well as transcribing, reformatting and copying seismic data.

With the ability to handle data recorded on historic drives such as 21 and 9 track the system provides a conduit for the fast transfer of information to and from High Capacity Media, hard disk and across networks, including URL’s on the internet. Magma has been thoroughly tested and can work at near to the theoretical maximum speed of the very latest tape cartridge and disk technology.

• Windows NT, 2000, XP, Vista
• Linux, Solaris
• Standard SCSI tape devices
• Connectivity for legacy 9‐Track (STK, Telex)
• Long Record Support• High Capacity Drive Connection
• Transfer at Near Theoretical Maximum
• Portable C++ object oriented code
• Graphical User Interface
• Proprietary formats added as required
• Digital capture of data indexes
• Seismic data transcription module
• Auto‐analyse functions for formats
• Format neutral module using embedded Tcl interpreter
• QA/QC plotting to screen and/or file
• Upload to third party systems and databases

Select from the Toolbox

Magma has been written in portable C++ which is very efficient and runs on multiple platforms.
This provides the perfect method to separate the functionality and allow the client to choose which
modules are required. This may often include the addition of specific company defined formats,
connection to client systems, transfer of data via network to clients existing hardware and large
robotic or centralised data management centres.

The modular structure allows support for proprietary formats to be added easily either as front‐end
or back‐end solutions and with Troika’s comprehensive format library we can usually supply the
solution.

Hardware

Magma runs on commodity PC hardware running either Windows or Linux as well as Sun Sparc
workstations running Solaris. Because Magma is portable it can be ported to other platforms if
required. Magma can access standard SCSI tape devices, and Troika also has solutions to connect
legacy devices such as 9‐Track and 21‐Track.
