1.2.5 Choice of Data Storage Formats and Media
Isis is capable of storing data in one of three standard data formats: XTF,
Q-MIPS and SEG-Y. The XTF (Extended Triton Format) format, originally
developed by Triton for storage of data collected with Isis systems, has
gained such popularity that some organizations which do not even own an
Isis have adopted it because of the format’s flexibility and ease of use, and
also because so much data have been collected by others using Isis
systems.
At minimum, each Isis system provides a large hard disk drive and CD read-
write drive. Any additional storage media, such as Magneto Optical (MO)
drives, removable hard disk drives, Jaz drives, etc., can be supplied.
1.2.6 Hardcopy Records
Isis currently supports many hardcopy output devices — see ‘Hardcopy
Devices Supported by Isis’ ( 5.1). Other printer interfaces using the
Centronics standard are provided at no additional cost when a printer is
purchased from Triton Elics.
