1 General Information
LoggerSettings is a standalone utility to manage your logging tools (i.e. tool configuration
files) and configure the logger (OPAL, SCOUT PRO, SCOUT, MATRIX, ALTLOGGER, BBOX…) for
a variety of software and hardware parameters.
The LoggerSettings application is installed as part of the LoggerSuite.
The application’s user interface shows a tree control and property sheets with changing
contents according to the selected option from the tree control.
Figure 1-1 - Application user interface
When starting the application the “About LoggerSettings” page showing the application
version and build number will be displayed (Figure 1-1).
The application will detect automatically if a logger has been connected and updates the
tree control with additional options as necessary. A logger can be connected at any time via
a USB cable.
The “Check for Updates” option gives access to the latest release version of the software. An
internet connection is required to have this functionality operational.

Acquisition Panel:
Set the text of the default message that will be displayed in the display of the Acquisition
panel. As an option you can chose to have the message flashing.
Additional headers:
Some default headers can be added automatically at file import into WellCAD software. By
checking the corresponding boxes user has the option to add:
• a “Tool Diagram” - tool stack diagram highlighting the offset position of each
measured channels
• a “Tool Calibration” table – table listing all sensor calibration factors
• “Tool parameters” – acoustic televiewer settings & commands used for the record
including the full wave form preview
External Connections:
If you want to allow other computers to connect their browsers to your PC select either the
All option or Restrict the access to a subnet by entering a corresponding address mask using
the wildcard 255. E.g. an IP address of 123.456.789.255 would allow access of computers
having the first three blocks of digits 123.456.789 in their IP address.
LoggerSettings
4 3-Tool Manager
3 Tool Manager
ALT/MSI logging systems use tool configuration files (*.TOL,*.TOOL, *.SUB and *.STACK) to
control settings for each type of logging tool and tool mode. The configuration files and their
associated files like calibrations, headers and WellCAD templates are managed from the Tool
Manager page (Figure 3.1). Users must use this page to import, export or remove
configuration files!
Note: Copying and pasting tool configurations between folders using Windows File Explorer
should be avoided in order to guarantee correct operation.
Figure 3-1 Tool Manager Page
The Tool Manager page displays a tree control showing the installed tool configurations.
Three major groups can be identified:
My Stacks:
Contains all final tool stack configurations. Please note that a bottom sub with a tool top is
already a tool stack.
My Subs:
All sub files you received from the tool vendor are stored here. Sub files contain only the
configuration of an individual element (e.g. tool top, tool body, bottom plug, inline
centralizer,…) incorporated in the final tool stack.
Standalone Tools:
Listed are all standalone tools (i.e. non stackable tools).
Templates and Headers:

Lists all installed headers and layout templates (see paragraph 3.5).
For tools having a bitmap associated a preview of the tool sub / stack is displayed (Figure 3-
2). When clicking on the Details (Figure 3-3) button a list with the final dimensions of a tool
stack / sub is shown instead of the tool sketch.

3.1 Importing and installing files
The tool configuration files supplied with the logging equipment can be installed in
different ways:
- Drag and drop the configuration files on “LoggerSettings” icon visible on your
computer’s desktop.
Note that multiple tool configuration files can be installed all at once when they are
grouped into a single folder. Drag and drop the folder containing the files on Logger
Settings icon.
or
- Drag and drop the configuration files into the “Tool Manager” window
- Alternatively click on the Import button (Figure 3-4) and use the file Open dialog box
to browse for your configuration files (i.e. *.TOL, *.TOOL, *.SUB , *.STACK, *.WCH,
*WDT, *.BMP files).
The LoggerSettings application recognizes the loaded files and installs them automatically
in their designated locations displayed in the tree structure of the Tool Manager page
(Figure 3-4).
Figure 3-4 Tool Manager Import option
After successful installation of a configuration file a message box confirming the

installation will be shown (Figure 3-5). If one or more configuration files could not be
installed the message box shown in Figure 3-6 will be displayed.
Figure 3-5 Successful installation message
Figure 3-6 File installation failure message
The application checks the validity of the imported files. A red icon in front of an entry in
the tree control indicates that the configuration is invalid or must be updated (see also
section 3.4). Yellow icons are shown for newly added items.
3.2 Exporting tools

In order to ease the transfer of tool configurations between different computers the Tool
Manager page offers an Export option.
Select one or multiple tools (it is also possible to select an entire folder with a tool family)
by clicking into the black square next to the tool name in the Tool Manager control (Figure
3-7). Click on the Export… button and use the Browse Folder dialog box to select or create
the storage location for the tool configuration files to export. Any files associated with the
current selection (e.g. calibrations, headers, templates,…) will be exported automatically
and a designated folder will be created containing all components. You can drag the entire
folder into the Tool manager window on another computer in order to install the tool
configuration there.

3.3 Removing tools

In order to remove tool configurations select the corresponding entry in the tree control
on the Tool Manager page and click on the Remove button. A message box will be
displayed requesting confirmation to remove and delete the selected configuration files.
Any removed tools will be moved into a subfolder named Tools.Trash located in
application’s folder (C:\Logger\Tool.Trash\).
3.4 Error Handling

If a red symbol with an exclamation mark is displayed in front of a tool configuration or
directory (Figure 3-8) a problem occurred and some tool configurations might not be valid.
The drop down list located at the bottom of the Tool Manager window suggests different
actions to remediate the tool configuration issues:
Figure 3-8 – Invalid configuration indicator
In this example QLStandalone tool configuration files are invalid and must be corrected.
Click on “Proceed” for the next step.
From the “Update QL-Standalone Tools” dialog box (Figure 3-9), select from the drop
down list the tool configuration file to update and then chose the tool top type to allocate
to this specific tool. User must confirm the wiring of the tool top mounted physically on
the tool as detailed in the tool top wiring section. Click on “Update” to confirm your tool
top configuration.
Repeat the operation for all tool configuration files available from the drop down list.
Note: The acquisition system configures the power/coms and auxiliary lines based on the
tool top wiring defined by the User. Improper settings may damage the tool or degrade the
tool telemetry performance. Contact ALT in case of any doubt or question.
Figure 3-9 Updating a QL-Standalone tool configuration file
When no tool tops are defined for a family of QL-tools (Figure 3-10), the user will need to
create the required tool top configurations. This can be done by selecting either “Add Tool
Tops for QLxx-xx Subs”- Proceed or by clicking on the “Add Tool Top” button:
LoggerSettings
10 3-Tool Manager
Figure 3-10 Add Tool Tops
To create a new tool top (Figure 3-11):
- define a mechanical description for the tool joint top and bottom
- assign a serial number or a description to identify the new tool top
- define the tool top wiring mode1
- click on OK to confirm your settings and to create the new tool top
Figure 3-11 Create a QL40-12-GO4 Tool Top – T1 wiring mode
The newly created tool tops are now displayed in a “Tool Top” folder (Figure 3-12) and are
highlighted with a yellow icon.

Figure 3-14 Templates and headers
Click on the Import button or simply drag and drop the *.WCH or *.WDT files to install
them in the Tool manager repository. If headers or templates are included in previously
exported stack configuration folder (see paragraph 3.2) they will automatically be
extracted and placed in the Templates and Headers group.
In order to edit a header design or layout template simply double left click on the
corresponding icon in the tree control to start HeadCAD or WellCAD.
To apply a header or templates simply click the corresponding button in the Acquisition
panel in the Logger dashboard or when configuring the tool stack in the Tool Stack Factory
of the Logger.
3.6 The external data storage “eStore”

The main purpose of the LoggerSettings and the Tool Manager in particular is to support
the user in organizing and manage his logging tool configurations. To avoid an overflow of
the Tool Manager window with old or unused configuration files an external tool
repository is available to remove elements from the current stock without losing them and
the ability to easily retrieve them. To add data to the external tool repository use your
Windows Explorer.
To access the external tool storage simply click the eStore button in the lower right of the
Tool Manager window. (Figure 3.15)
Figure 3-15 Click on the eStore button to access the external storage
By default you will be directed to the …/Logger / Support / eStore folder under the
installation path of the LoggerSuite software and the following dialog box will be displayed
(Figure 3-16).
Figure 3-16 eStore content – select and click OK to add it to the current Tool Manager stock
All QL subs and standalone tools found in the repository will be listed. The eStore does not
keep tool stacks as they are custom built.
In order to add subs to the Tool Manager simply select the corresponding item or family of
entries and click on OK.
Should you wish to access another external tool repository click the Change button and
enter a local or network path into the corresponding dialog box (Figure 3-17).

14 3-Tool Manager
Figure 3-17 Enter the location of an alternative eStore
It is also possible to enter the (http/https) address of a network web server. In this case
you may be prompted for a user name and password.
The eStore repository should have the following structure
where the folders :
- bitmap contains all tool bitmap files (*.bmp)

- QL40-12 contains all QL40-12 subs (*.sub)
- QL-Standalone contains subs and stack files for standalone tools (*.sub, *.stack)
- Standalone\altlog contains the tool files compatible with ALT loggers (USB PlugIn, Abox,
BBox, Jazz)
- Standalone\matrix contains the tool files compatible with the Matrix logger.
3.7 Building customized groups

You can add custom groups under the Standalone
Tools level of the tree control in the Tool manager
window in order to organize tool configurations even
further.
To add a new group:
1. Select the items that you would like to group

from the list (Figure 3-18).
2. Right click on any of the selected items and

select New Group from the displayed context Figure 3-18 create a new group
menu.
3. A new group will be created. Single left click on

the New Group title and enter a new name for
your group. (Figure 3-19)
Figure 3-19 Name the new group
To add one or multiple items to an existing group simply select the corresponding item(s)
and right click on it. Select Add to... from the displayed context menu.
In a similar way you can remove items from groups (select the item(s) within the group,
right click on one of the selected entries and choose Ungroup) or suspend an entire group
(select a group, right click and select Ungroup).
The same structure you setup in the Tool

Manager will be available in the Tool

Figure 4-5 Adding a new encoder device and settings for SCOUT PRO
Give a description and define the resolution (pulses/turn) of your depth encoder to define a
new device. This value must be an integer, that is it cannot have any decimal place values.
This is the number of pulses from the encoder per wheel revolution. Quadrature encoders
will be read by the system at four times their pulse per revolution number. For a 200 pulse
per revolution encoder the system actually sees 800 pulses per revolution.
See also sections 6.3 Manual determination of Depth Encoder settings and 6.4 Standard
Depth Encoder settings for winches from Mount Sopris Instruments.
For SCOUT PRO The depth encoder settings are defined through LoggerSettings
application and must be configured to suit the depth encoder specifications.
Description
Mode Depth encoder wiring mode:
Quadrature (2 wires): two channel output encoder A , B
Quadrature (4 wires): four channel output encoder A , B and inverted A- , B-
Power Power Voltage selection: 5 or 12V
To Disable Power – select NO
PullUP Pull-up voltage selection: 5 or 12 V
Click on “Save” button to store your new depth encoder configuration.
The “Delete” option offers the possibility to remove some unused depth encoder
configurations.
- Once the depth encoder configuration is defined enter the Wheel Circumference in
meters, this may be a non-integer number like 0.3333 or 1.23456.
- Press the Test button to check the depth reading.
- Press the Reset button to zero the depth. Pull cable from the winch to test the
depth settings (Figure 4-6).
- Click on Reverse Direction if the depth is incremented in the wrong direction. Note
that the depth should increase when the tool is going down and the reverse.

Up/Down Pulses where there are CW, CCW, /CW, and /CCW signal wires.
Reverse direction changes the counting direction without rewiring the encoder
connections.
Power
The encoder power can be selected to be either 5V or 12V depending on the
encoder type. Be sure this is set correctly or the encoder can be damaged.
PullUp
This can be On to connect a pull-up resistor between Power and the signal line for
those encoders requiring it or Off.
Resolution [pulses/turn]: This value must be an integer, that is it cannot have any
decimal place values. Also, it cannot exceed 10,000. This is the number of pulses
from the encoder per wheel revolution. Quadrature encoders will be read by the
system at four times their pulse per revolution number. For a 200 pulse per
revolution encoder the system sees actually 800 pulses per revolution.

6.3 Standard Depth Encoder settings for winches from Mount Sopris
Instruments
The settings below for the MX family winches yield an encoder resolution of 4 /2400 =
0.0016666 meters. This is because four transitions are detected (and counted) for each full
pulse from Quadrature encoders.
The encoder sends 200 pulses per revolution. The Matrix records four (pulse transitions)
times 200 (pulses) per revolution.
The wheel circumference is 1/3 meter. Therefore, three wheel revolutions results in an
effective circumference of one meter. (Wheel Circumference divided by Integer Encoder
pulses per turn).
For 4MXA-1000, 4MXB-1000, 4MXC-1000, 4WNA-1000:

Wheel Circumference In Meters = 1
Resolution [pulses per turn] = 2400
Mode = Quadrature (2 wires)
Power = 5V
PullUp = Off (default value in LoggerSettings is 5V)
For MW (Mini winch)

Wheel Circumference In Meters = 0.199492
Resolution [pulses per turn] = 512
Mode = Quadrature (2 wires)
Power = 5V
PullUp = Off (default value in LoggerSettings is 5V)
