Claim 12:
13. A method of collecting downhole data during a downhole operation, the method comprising:
performing a drilling operation in a borehole including a downhole component disposed therein;
determining, by a distance decoder at an earth surface, a first depth value of the downhole component in the borehole;
transmitting, by a surface control unit, from the earth surface and through a downhole telemetry system to the downhole component a first signal indicating the first depth value determined by the distance decoder, the downhole component comprising a processor;
transmitting, by the surface control unit, from the earth surface to the downhole component a calibration depth value after changing a depth of the downhole component in the borehole by a predefined depth interval;
collecting, during the drilling operation, a first downhole data element using at least one sensor located on the downhole component;
assigning, during the drilling operation and using the processor, the indicated first depth value to the first downhole data element;
storing the first downhole data element, the calibration depth value, and the assigned indicated first depth value within a memory of the downhole component; and
creating in a downhole and during the drilling operation, using the processor, a downhole log comprising at least the stored first downhole data element and the assigned indicated first depth value.
