The nominal run number for the channel. No precise meaning is declared for this attribute but it is so commonly used that it must be included. The value here should match a bit run number for LWD data and a wireline run number for logging data.

When the log header defines the direction as "Increasing", the startIndex is the starting (minimum) index value at which the first non-null data point is located. When the log header defines the direction as "Decreasing", the startIndex is the starting (maximum) index value at which the first non-null data point is located.

The nominal hole size at the time the measurement tool was in the hole. The size is "nominal" to indicate that this is not the result of a caliper reading or other direct measurement of the hoe size, but is just a name used to refer to the diameter. This is normally the bit size.In a case where there are more than one diameter hole being drilled at the same time (like where a reamer is behind the bit) this diameter is the one which was seen by the sensor which produced a particular log channel.
