The user types the name of the SPLICER TABLE (e.g. SiteXXXX.splicer.table) in the "Save Splicer Table" dialog box.

The SPLICER TABLE consists of rows of paired tiepoints which define the splices used to build a spliced data record. The file is written in a tab-delimited format.

The SPLICER TABLE can be read during a subsequent Splicer session to reload a previously-generated spliced data record. The SPLICER TABLE can be applied to generate a spliced data record from any dataset from a given Site which had been previously composited.

SPLICER TABLE

In the example shown below, the splice begins at 926B, Core 1 (0 cm) and continues in 926B until section 1H-4 (19.5 cm). A splice is then made to Hole 926C 1H-2 (51.5 cm) and data is read in that hole until sample 926C-1H-6 (135.5 cm).

• Site = Site Number
• Hole = Hole Letter
• Core = Core Number
• Type = Core Type
• Sect = Section Number
• Int1 = Top of the tie interval.
• Int2 = Bottom of the tie interval
• MBSF = drilled depth of core top, meters below seafloor
• MCD = depth-shifted composite depth of core top, meters composite depth

Here is a sample from an actual file. Note that the words "tie to" are actually only "tie" in the file.
