Geosoft xyz file format

Geosoft XYZ data (*.xyz) is ASCII positional data defined by locations (X and Y) and a data value (Z) in a line format. Line numbers are provided on a separate line preceding the actual data, which is arranged in columns.

The following is a sample of an XYZ data file:

If you import data that is already in Geosoft line format, the data is placed in lines as specified in the XYZ file.

You can add //flight and //date specifications anywhere in your XYZ file. The system applies this information to all following lines until the next //flight or //date statement occurs. This functionality allows you to add multiple flights and dates for flights flown overnight.
