Sondex WIPER Readme
===================

Sondex Well Integrity Processing, Evaluation and Reporting (WIPER)
Software reads Sondex Magnetic Thickness Tool (MTT) and Multifinger
Caliper Imaging Tool (MIT) data from a Warrior database and performs
all the processing required to generate a report on the state of the
well casing or tubing.

WIPER requires a Sondex Hardlock key (dongle), enabled for WIPER, to
use all features of the software.  If a valid key is not present
then the software will be prevented from analysing data and producing
a report but other functionality, like collar location and MTT
calibration, will still be available.

To install WIPER, run the Setup program.

Note: The Hardlock drivers must be installed separately (available
on the Sondex website) if not already installed on the machine.

The program is compatible with Windows 2000, XP and Vista.  Warrior
V7 or later must be used.
