The Whole Round Multisensor Logger (WRMSL) and Special Task Multisensor Logger (STMSL) are two whole-round systems which allow simultaneous measurements of density, magnetic susceptibility and Pwave velocity. The WRMSL and STMSL are the only two systems, which allow continuous core section measurements, one after another.
Note: Both tracks function the same way; however, WRMSL measures density, magnetic susceptibility and P wave velocity, whereas STMSL only measures density and magnetic susceptibility.
It is possible to set the WRMSL acting as the STMSL by changing the setup of the desired instrument. The screenshot below shows how to change the track type of the magnetic susceptibility loop used in the WRMSL to make it work as a STMSL.

Procedures
Preparing the Instrument
...
Additional entry field options are the LIMS and MANUAL tabs.
Missing Top: Used if material is missing or was sampled at the top of the section. If used, the software automatically adjusts the offset.
Max. Length: Used if the core is shorter than the core liner. Measure the core manually and insert the value on the box. It is used mostly during hard rock measurements.
4. Click MEASURE. Core sections will be measured in sequence from the first to last section, generally we do not run the core catcher. Each section will move through the instrument by a pusher.
