Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems comprised of devices for enabling two-way communication between downhole tools and surface equipment through standard slickline and braided line cable and using such data to perform a variety of actions. The disclosed methods include surface and downhole communication modules, both of which contain a means to generate pulses, a means to detect pulses traveling through the cable, and onboard electronics; a surface control system acts as the principal input/output device and interface to a user, as data is displayed on such systems and its input device allows for this operator to send instructions to a plurality of downhole tools. Sensors, detectors, power sources, and actuators are all controlled by onboard electronics; and one or more processors operably connected to these devices. A processor is typically configured to receive data from the modules, record the data, and transmit data to allow for an operator to perform actions based on the data.
