Validating Watermarked Files

After the SEG-Y data files are watermarked, you can use the validation tool to check the watermark information in the files.

The validation tool produces a report that contains the watermark information:

• The company name

• The user who requested the watermark

• The date and time the watermark was added

• A binary hash

Before You Begin

Submit a watermark request.

Procedure
