For more details on crooked sections, see the topic Crooked Section Grids.

If a database is generated, it will be displayed in the workspace. The database file will contain a channel for each trace-header field that contains non-zero data, as well as an array channel for the trace data. The sampling (Z-coordinate information) for the trace data is stored in the Array Base Properties.
