Notes - 2

• IVAN_ENV allows records of environmental conditions to be recorded. Where the test is down hole this field should be left empty as this has no bearing on the measurement made.
• IVAN_IVAN and IVAN_IVAR data should generally be numeric. A text form can only be used by addition of a prefixing operator to denote greater than or less than conditions ie >200 when readings are above the reporting limit of the testing equipment.
