change ray paramter
2020-05-30 01:56:19
Dear All
I need a script or macro; its function is to change the unit of ray parameter in USER7 header from s/deg to s/km for many files; I can do this for each separately but it is very tedious work.
I mean to loop over all files and change the unit.
I cannot construct such script or macro and need help please.

Regards
Wadah

    Hi,

    Perhaps you like to try it:
    But, the script run smooth if you set the SAC variable

    SAC_DISPLAY_COPYRIGHT=0
    in your sac configuration file, eg. sacinit.sh
    It is tested in OSX and CentOS

    ------------------

    #!/bin/bash


    # Begin loop for all *.sac files in actual dir

    for SACFILE in $(ls *.sac); do


    # Using saclst program including in sac distibution, so it must be in the
    PATH

    SDEG=`saclst USER7 f $SACFILE | awk '{print $2}'`


    # Using eval (evaluate) SAC command to calculate s/km, here s/deg times
    1/111.11=0.009 (1 deg = 111.111 km)

    SKM=`printf "eval $SDEG*0.009\nq\n" | sac`


    # Using printf bash command to write the new header variable

    printf "r *.sac\nch user7 $SKM\nwh\nq\n" | sac


    # To verify if all is OK

    saclst USER7 f $SACFILE


    done


    ---------------------



    I attach the script he7.sh to avoid typo after copy and paste.

      Thank you Milton
      I tried your script and it is working, but the result is very small in the order of e-26, when following it carefully I found that each value in USER7 will be multiplied by 0.009 "n" times, where n is the number of files, in my case i have 13 sac file and an example ray parameter of one of them is 4.88763 s/deg and after running the script this value became 1.24236e-26.
      This issue triggered me to make a script taking advantage of your script and others.
      I tried it and it is working very well, here is the script to be in use for anyone need it, also I attached it :

      #!/bin/bash
      for filename in `ls *.sac`
      do
      sac << END
      READ $filename
      SETBB rayd &$filename,USER7&
      # conv 1/111.195= 0.008992806 – convert from deg to km
      setbb conft 0.00899321
      # multiply by the factor
      setbb rayk (MULTIPLY %rayd% %conft%)
      ch USER7 %rayk%
      w over
      dc
      unsetbb
      quit
      END
      done

        Yes, if you change line 13 for it:

        printf "r $SACFILE\nch user7 $SKM\nwh\nq\n"|sac


        all is OK.

    Hi Wadah,

    This is straight forward. Go here to see how you can construct a simple for
    loop in shell to read in a set of files:
    https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/bash-loop-over-file/
    Once you do this, you just include the SAC commands you already have within
    the for loop. Just make sure you have your data backed up, once the files
    are over written, they are changed irreversibly.

    e.g.

    #!/bin/sh
    for filename in `ls my_path/*.SAC`
    do

    SAC << END
    READ $filename
    CHNHDR USER7 s/km
    WRITE OVER
    QUIT
    END

    done
