Error messages from getfhv etc
2014-02-26 00:21:15 - 2014-02-26 04:32:31
The sac_i/o functions getfhv, getihv etc print error messages to standard output if the related header variable is not defined, e.g.: ERROR 1336: Undefined header field value. DEPMIN this seems an undesirable behaviour to me, since the functions already return an error value that the programmer can handle in their own way. Is this the designed behaviour or is it something peculiar about my set-up that can be changed? many thanks, Neil

Transfer problem
2014-02-19 05:57:27 - 2014-02-21 21:50:38
I am attempting to remove the instrument response of some data. I downloaded the RESPFILE from IRIS and while using the evalresp option of transfer, I get the following error: "WARNING (norm_resp): computed and reported sensitivities[ET.CPCT.00.HHE] differ by more than 5 percent." I thought the final sensitivity at the end of the file is the product of all the different gain/sensitivities of each stage. When I calculate it by hand, I get the sensitivity reported. I am not sure where this… [more]

Vertical Velocity add Acceleration evaluation

Dear list members As I am a new user of SAC not familiar with seismograms, I have faced some primiliary questions. I would appreciate if you guide me. -I am looking for vertical components of velocity and acceleration from seismograms. So I used the TRANSFER function of SAC applying on LHZ seismogram. I used respond file and PZ files as follows and gained similar results for vertical velocity. Regarding the acceleration the results are zero!!!. How I can evaluate vertical acceleration? If I c… [more]

FIR filter part of the instrument response
2014-02-19 04:18:11 - 2014-02-19 15:27:30
Hi all, I have two RESP files. These two are very similar except numerator coefficients are different at 3 stages. Gain and sensitivity values are all the same. But it seems to me that SAC does not have a way to keep track of the digital/FIR filter part of the instrument response. Therefore, no matter which RESP file I used, the amplitudes of traces after removing instrument response are still the same. but it should be 2.94 times different. Do anyone have a clue how we can retrieve a pole-… [more]
