I am trying to correct Mermaid hydrophone seismograms for their instrument response, but encounter a problem with the polezero file.
I am running SEISMIC ANALYSIS CODE [03/05/2020 (Version 102.0)] on a Mac Powerbook. The forward conversion from ’none’ to
the instrument response works fine, but going backwards I get an error message. For example:
SAC> funcgen boxcar delta 0.05 npts 2048
SAC> p
SAC> trans from none to polezero S pzmm
Station (-12345 ), Channel (-12345 )
Using polezero response for , , , from pzmm
SAC> p
SAC> trans from polezero S pzmm to none
Using polezero response for , , , from pzmm
Station (-12345 ), Channel (-12345 )
Units: Unrecognized input units in polezero file (PASCAL)
SAC>
The file pzmm is as follows:
* Provisional pole-zero file
* INPUT UNIT : PASCAL
* OUTPUT UNIT : COUNTS
POLES 4
-1.5642 0.0000
0.18502 0.0000
-1.0260 1.2927
-1.0260 -1.2927
ZEROS 4
0.0000 0.0000
0.58027 0.0000
-1.2618 -1.2083
-1.2618 1.2083
CONSTANT 8.65e04
Changing 'PASCAL' to 'NONE' in this file did not solve it either.
Does anyone see what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,

Guust,
Thanks for reporting this and you are not doing anything wrong.
The line that starts with “Units: Unrecognized ….“ is informational and does not alter the output.
If you are getting unexpected output in the data, please let us know.
More details:
In TRANSFER If the TO type is “none”, “vel”, or “acc” sac will try to print out the information about the units.
- If evalresp file is used, sac will print nm, nm/s, or nm/s^2 always (dependent on the desired output)
- If a pole zero file was used and the its “Input” units were “meters", “meter", or “m” it will print m, m/s or m/s^2 (dependent on the desired output)
- Any other unit is “Unrecognized” and “Input units not defined” will be reported if the pole zero file does not specify the units.
I hope that helps.
This change was done to make sure users understood what the units are after a transfer. It is not perfect, but it covers a primary use case. The big historical issue is the difference between evalresp, pole zero files, and what sac assumed the units were (nanometers).

Hi Guust,
If you change the input unit in your polezero file (pzmm) from PASCAL to M
(meters) for example
it works...
Seems that PASCAL is not recognized as unit input by the transfer command.
HTH,
Milton
