[SAC-HELP] About transfer function in SAC

[Onur Tan]

Dear Xu

SAC uses omega convention. so you must multiply every poles and zeros
with 2*pi*f  ( in general, f=1Hz for Guralp seismometers).  Do not use
the values in Guralp Cal-Doc. 

Add one Zero for integration.
And you have to calculate  Constant using sensor and digitizer gain
values.

You can use this document:
http://www.le.ac.uk/seis-uk/downloads/seisuk_data_manage.pdf

I edit  more  detailed document, but in Turkish. If you want to read
only numbers :) in this document I can send you.

Subject: [SAC-HELP] About transfer function in SAC

Dear ALL, 

I am using function "transfer" to deconvolve the instrument response in
SAC, the usage is as "transfer from polezero subtype cmg3esp.response to
none", and the file "cmg3esp.response" is in the format as SAC mannual
told(poles, zeros, constant), here I want to know what is the unit of
poles and zeros, radian/sec or Hz? it is very different as we know, can
anyone help me? 

Your sincerely,
Xu W.
