You work hard gathering your data. Don’t settle for subpar visualization. Utilize Surfer’s extensive modeling tools to display your data the way it deserves while maintaining accuracy and precision. Clearly communicate information related to geology, hydrology, environmental, construction and more with Surfer.

Surfer appears to have been designed by people who really understand what scientists like myself want to do. This allows me to look at data and ask questions without being concerned with the technicalities of how to load, manipulate and map data.

Golden Software Didger 40

Barry Gardiner, Senior Scientist

I have licensed copies of Didger 3, 4 & 5. Using Didger 3, after an map image has been calibrated, the map coordinates are displayed at the bottom of the screen as the mouse cursor is moved across the map image. Using Didger 4 & 5 the coordinates are not automatically displayed after calibration.

• The Golden Software website has a variety of resources including training videos, a support forum, a newsletter, a user image gallery, and a variety of downloads. Complete the Didger Tutorial. The Didger tutorial is a great way to get started in Didger. Tutorial lessons will teach you how to calibrate a tablet, calibrate an image, digitize.
• Didger 3 and 4's PJT files are compound document files, and when they become fragmented (when you save them more than once) they can take up twice as much hard disk space as they normally should. Our programmers recommended using the Unfrag software to unfragment the files.
• Didger is a Golden Software legacy product. We no longer sell Didger, but we continue to provide technical support.
• Golden Software, Inc. Has upgraded Didger, its comprehensive software package that provides a single user interface for digitizing, geographic referencing, reprojection and coordinate conversion, and mosaicking, with more than 100 new features and enhancements.

Discover the depths of your data with Surfer’s numerous analysis tools, made specifically with engineers, geologists and researchers in mind. Adjust interpolation and gridding parameters, assess the spatial continuity of data with variograms, define faults and breaklines, or perform grid calculations such as volumes, transformations, smoothing, or filtering. Surfer quickly transforms your data into knowledge.

The wide variety and functionality of the interpolation/extrapolation algorithms, as well as the geostatistical functionality, is simply awesome!
