See "Starting up Rayfract® and profile management" and later chapters in the help menu for details. Once you have opened profile LINE14, select Smooth invert|WET with 1D gradient initial model, to run our Smooth inversion.

To grid and plot/display WET tomography output you need to install Golden Software's Surfer® version 9 to 28. Download a free demo version at http://www.goldensoftware.com. You need to start up the free demo Surfer® interactively via Start menu after (re)installing it. Then click on the splash screen, which covers the Surfer® window. If you skip this step Rayfract® is not able to call Surfer® automatically for plotting. For the full version, please startup Surfer® and enter your license number first. The Surfer 27/28 demo expires after 14 days and works fine for on-the-fly generation of screen plots showing tomograms obtained with our software.
