# Depth Channels Chart

### **Configurations**

The same configurations found on [Temporal Channels Chart](https://drilling.intelie.com/features/data-visualization/channels-charts/temporal-channels-chart) is also found here.

Channels depth comes with a **Depth selector** instead of Time selector and have a **Depth Grid** configuration:

### **Depth Selector**

{% hint style="warning" %}
This chart only shows channels that were originally [indexed by depth](https://drilling.intelie.com/data-flow/data-normalization/data-enrichment#depth-based-sources). The chart uses the property `index_value` that represents the depth on the normalized events.

The units of measurement used for the depth on the normalized events can be configured as show in the [data indexes](https://drilling.intelie.com/data-flow/data-normalization/data-enrichment#depth-based-sources) section.
{% endhint %}

Depth based charts can be used to visualize a fixed depth range identified by the **Exact Depth** option, or update dynamically, identified by **Relative to asset option.**

### Depth Grid

{% hint style="info" %}
Documentation for version 2.30.0 or greater
{% endhint %}

Depth grid allow a depth interval highlighting using a predefined example, or any custom interval between **Micro**, **Minor** and **Major** grid lines.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note that this configuration is **unit free**. You're configuring depth units interval regardless of the current **unit of measurement** of the depth index.
{% endhint %}

## Customizing data gaps report threshold for depth channels charts

As explained at "[Customizing data gaps report threshold for temporal channels charts](https://github.com/intelie/drilling/blob/main/features/data-visualization/channels-charts/features/data-visualization/channels-charts/temporal-channels-chart.md#customizing-data-gaps-report-threshold-for-temporal-channels-charts)", all temporal and depth channels charts will display data gaps if "Report data gaps" feature is on.

The size of these gaps is defined globally in the Live administration, or by the `@@dataGapsReportThreshold` macro for temporal channels charts.

For depth channels charts, however, data size customization should be done using the `@@depthDataGapsReportThreshold`. This macro can be defined in a pipes module, and just like any other pipes macro, the developer can use conditionals, access live variable (for example, `live.matchspan`) and other macros (such as `@@context` and `@@lookup`).

When creating the pipes module, just make sure to turn the options "Disable prefixing module functions with the qualifier" on.
