APPENDIX
Importing Topography, Drill Plan, and
Planned Deviation from Excel File
The SST software allows you to import topography, drill plan, and planned deviation data from a text file
created in Microsoft Excel. This should be done before you start logging your SST bore.
Create Text File
The file must be in the correct format for importing, as shown in the following figure. Each plot or set of
data (topography, drill plan, and planned deviation) spans two columns that list the x-coordinate in the
first column and the y-coordinate in the second column for each logged point.
