Abstract
A set of instructions is stored on at least one computer readable medium running on a downhole computer system of a measurement while drilling (MWD) system. The set of instructions is used in extracting outputs from sensors and providing data streams having one or more data series (e.g., survey data, drilling data). The set of instructions further provide for transmitting the data series to a surface computer system and interrupting the data series based on one or more trigger events.
