DIGGS Tools

DIGGSml Data Converter

Keynetix developed a data converter tool that converts any Excel spreadsheet, AGS file, HoleBASE SI or gINT project to a DIGGS, CSV, gINT or KeyLAB file. The tool is on GitHub.

Dataforensics DIGGS Converter

Dataforensics DIGGS Conversion tool is a web service that allows consumers of DIGGS files to convert the files from the DIGGS format to a format that can be imported directly into HoleBASE and/or gINT. When using gINT, a custom mapping is required to be configured since there is no standard gINT data structure.

The tool can be accessed once you have acquired a subscription to the service using the following URL.
https://diggs.dataforensics.net
