So, then you must use a sac version for linux and not for MAC-OSX do: > uname -a in you system for detrmining if you PC is 64 bits for example: [milton@pcasain7 ~]$ uname -a Linux pcasain7.ogs.trieste.it 2.6.32-358.14.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jul 16 23:51:20 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Here you can see X86_64, so my system is 64 bits and you must use the sac version for 64 bits the last version is: sac-101-6.linux_x86_64.tar.gz Cheers, Milton P.

Hi, I have a problem with passing arguments and using the blackboard variables in the version 101.6. The code worked perfectly in the previous versions. Is there a solution to this in the v. 101.6? Has the syntax changed? Please see an example below. The v.101.6 gives me an error on "ls" while the previous versions listed the files. setbb wd ../20080903_1125 setbb path1 %wd%/data cp %path1%/*.SAC . cp: cannot stat `%path1%/*.SAC': No such file or directory ls %path1%/ ls: cannot access %p… [more]

Hello, I would like to modify the EVLA and EVLO values in the header using bash script. The lat and long values are stored in coord.txt file. I used the following script but not sure why it is not reading from the file. The coord file contains two values column 1 lat and column 2 long. #bin/bash! saclst evlo evla f|awk '{a+=$1} {b+=$2} {printf "r NET.STA1216..BXE.sac\nch %f %f \nwh\nq\n",a,b} END{print "quit"}' | sac coord.txt However this command works. printf "r NET.STA1216..BXE.sac\nch e… [more]

Hello, I'm having a couple of problems with sac: 1) PROBLEMS WITH PLOTSP: after reading a file and using xlim to have only part of the signal, then fft, I can't plot the spectrum, it simply displays a white window. So, basically, it works if I do: r file fft psp But it doesn't work if I do: r file xlim 100 200 fft psp I also have a problem using Sac Graphic Files and then plotsp. I can create a correct figure when reading only one file, but not if I read many files. r file1 file2 file3 f… [more]

Hiii, I am a beginner to SAC and I am trying to pick and display phases on seismograms using PPK. I will really appreciate some help on this. SAC>read filename SAC>p1 SAC>ppk # using curser, I click on a point and press p to show P-wave pick, then i press q to get #out of ppk SAC>p1 but now the plot shows IPUO instead of just P and it shows ISUO instead of S. I tried assigning t0, t1 to phase picks, and then trying to change the name using PICKPHASE, but for some reason it doesn't work (or m… [more]

Hi, I have a similar problem with passing arguments in version 101.6 and not with any of the earlier versions. I have had to revert to the old version to get my codes to work. The problem seems to be that a variable that was defined by the "keys" command isn't passed properly into a "do" loop. (the variable in question is called "file". I tried calling it "filein" in case there was a pre-set definition of "file" but that didn't change anything.) I also tried leaving out the quotes in the c… [more]

I'm also having an issue with 101.6. A SAC macro program, which worked under 101.2, crashed under 101.6 (see below). I do not have any problems with reading and displaying SAC files using 101.6. The platform is x86-64 Ubuntun Linux. Any hints? Thanks. Stephen S.

Dear all, My colleague showed me a problem with our installation of SAC 101.6: it does not accept command-line arguments for substitution for "$1", etc. The most trivial example is: macro jj.mac contains r $1 $2 p It is invoked by: sac1016c jj.mac 20130205_020000.EKB10.BHZ.sac 20130205_020000.EKB1.BHZ.sac and gives the error message ERROR 1014: Undefined variable in command: 1 This works OK with SAC 101.5c It looks as if SAC 101.6, or the OS, has stripped off the leading $ signs fro… [more]
