[SAC-HELP] Multiple Questions

[Arthur Snoke]

Jesse,

Thanks for sending the data and SAC commands that show the problems you are having.

I do not think there is an "error" in SAC.  The "p1 relative} works for you (and you do not need to use the xlim command).  Your five data files span about 48 hours and it seems appropriate to me that the plotted total time covers that time range.

You write, "the font on the axes is ridiculously small".  I do not see that.  Here is the terminal session I ran, and I am attaching the PDF file.

Sounds like Brian has given you a solution for your SGF questions.  Hopefgully someone else can help you with your SSS questions, as I rarely use that subprocess.
