Two new parameters added to the tomography to define the distance between the picks. These values are used to do smoothing of the delta V values (or change in velocity) before it is applied to the velocities. Using a larger number will produce more smoothing, a smaller number less smoothing. These new parameters can be found on the Tomography Processing page of the GUI
Tomography program will now output a segy file of delta V values (or change in velocity).
This will enable the user to see the change in velocity that was created at any point in the model. The file will be created in the project directory and will be named deltav.segy. A value less than one means the tomography has slowed the velocity down and a value greater than one has sped the velocities up.
Removal of Epsilon and Delta parameters from Anisotropy option. Using one epsilon/delta pair is effectively using a constant eta value, which can be accomplished using the eta file input.

The time frequency pairs (depth frequency pairs in PSDM) could cause aliasing problems at the bottom of the section. That has been fixed.
There was a stair step effect on the bottom of the data when not using time frequency pairs.
The SGI executables had a bug that caused the job to hang after a certain number of traces had been processed.
The SGI executables were outputting blank traces.
Run times have been improved. The previous version of 5.2.13 was not keeping the nodes busy as it should have.
The GCI data set functionality was updated for changes to byte locations and scalars on the source / receiver xy’s and cdp xy’s.
A bug in using the cdpx/y byte locations for Paradigm input was fixed. Previously it would report the cdp x/y’s as negative numbers in the log file.
The raytracer was updated so that the anisotropy parameters will work when using the eikonal method.
The Output Map Area option (outmap) was not functioning properly.
The Despike parameter information was not being output at the end of the log file.

Updates were made to allow for better display on SGI platform.
Fixes were made to release the java memory to prevent the GUI from hanging. These fixes will also help alleviate the problem of window titles not being cleared out when a new, non-related window is opened.
Windows have been modified so that they are easier to resize if necessary. This includes dragging the corner out to open window wider.
Selecting New from the Files Drop down menu will automatically open the parameter entry page.
The items under the Views drop down menu are now always active. There is no longer the need to do File->New before using the Views menu.
Updates were made to the Tomography GUI. New parameters to define the distance between the picks were added to the Processing page.
Epsilon and Delta parameters taken out of PSTM and removed from Processing Page on PSTM GUI.
