Hello, This is Urvashi. I have installed a version of Fedora on my laptop and need help with installing sac on it. I have extracted the sac folder into /usr/local/ and have changed the file ./bashrc for setting the environment variables according to the instructions given in the readme folder. However I am not able to understand how to start the installation (which executable to run and using what commands) and also , should i run in form the /usr/local/sac/bin folder or from somewhere else. I… [more]

Hi, In SAC I would like to plot two files on top of each other (overlay) and in the same window make picks (Tn) to be saved to the header of one or both files. I have been attempting this with commands p2 and ppk, but these produce separate windows. Is it possible to simultaneously plot two files in a plot window AND pick in that plot window? In more detail, I am plotting the spectra of the signal on top of the noise and I would like to mark the intersection of the two. My work-around has … [more]

Dear SAC Users I&nbsp;use SAC software for computation of teleseismic Receiver Functions used for crustal structure study.&nbsp; Can anyone&nbsp;guide me how to do "moveout" correction before stacking the Receiver Functions for different epicentral distance and back azimuth? Is there any option in Signal Stacking Subprocess of SAC ? I will be thankful If anybody can guide me in this regard. sincerely&nbsp; D. Hazarika

Dear all, I am trying to set some times and date in a SAC header. So far I did the following: SAC> ch O GMT 2006 001 14 34 01 23 SAC> wh Although all of these change do not appear with "lh" command. Also, when I am doing the picking and write it into "hpf", I have got no error but when open the HPF file and it is empty. Is anyone can help me in this matter? (PS: I have been converted my data from ascii to sac using the fortran code amp2sac in this link http://web.utah.edu/thorne/soft… [more]

Dear Colleague, I hope that I am at the right address to launch my question. I was using SAC polezero option recently to remove the instrument response from my data and to add it to synthetics. However, I realized that this option is acting as a 2-pass acausal filter. AS the actual seismometer filters the ground motion as 1-pass causal filter, it seems to me that it is impossible to recover actual ground motion by using this option. It is not very obvious with very band limited data, but i… [more]

Hi all, I'm trying to run a macro that will produce correlations for all possible station pairs from a file list. I'm attempting to do this with a blackboard variable and a while loop. Each time I run the macro, it works fine for the first iteration of the while loop. The second iteration produces a segmentation fault after the correlate command is executed, but before it changes to my write directory. I have experienced this problem while running SAC 101.4 on 2 RedHat Linux workstatio… [more]
