Aliases Required By Specific Processes

The following table lists the aliases that have to be set in order to run specific processes for processing airborne gamma-ray data. Note how the "output fields" become the "input fields" for subsequent processes – so the processes must be run in a specific order! See Tutorial 1 – Processing Airborne Data for the sequence of processing steps.
