Variogram Control File

A Variogram Control File can be saved on the Chart toolbar once a semi variogram map or chart has been calculated, and provides a way of passing variogram information between Stats | Semi Variogram Map, Stats | Semi Variograms, and any function that need to reference a semi variogram as part of its modelling parameters.

On the chart toolbar, click the Create Variogram Control File button to save you settings to a file (one direction must be defined for 2D, and three directions must be defined for 3D).
  If you select an existing file, you will be prompted to overwrite or cancel.
 
  To view the contents of the file you have created or selected, right-click in the Variogram control file response.
Click the View Variogram Control File button to select and open an existing file.
  You can also select Stats | View Variogram Control File to select and open a variogram control file without having to load a chart.

To support multivariate data in co-variogram mode, a variogram control file can store multiple nugget values and multiple sill values per component, one for each variogram.

All conceivable orientation conventions are listed.
