Receiving a Continuous Survey from the Allegro

Important: For data to transfer properly, the name of the pipeline entered in the Segment field of the Allegro CeCi survey file must match the ROW Code in PCS Axis. The survey name entered in the Run field of the CeCi survey file is used to create a survey folder in PCS Axis (Data Entry > Survey Folder Maintenance).
