You can get to Vase through our Software Registration and Download page: http://www.iris.edu/dhi/vase_request.htm For further questions, please contact webmaster at iris.washington.edu --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Vase is a Java-based client application designed for viewing and extracting seismic waveforms from DHI waveform repositories at a number of participating sites. Vase has the user interface arranged in tabbed panes to facilitate access to each query stage. Vase has a server selection screen to allow the user to select DHI services from a number of data centers. Vase can query based on station latitude and longitude as well as retrieving the instrument sensitivity for placing in the SAC and SAC ASCII output files. Along with the station latitude/longitude awareness, Vase has a mapping tool which allows the user to query for stations which lie within a latitude/longitude box area, all stations within a specified distance from a point, and all stations in a user defined area. You can also map any resulting stations you've queried. For more information, please consult the Vase Manual at: http://www.iris.edu/manuals/vase/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author: Chris Laughbon, IRIS Data Management Center - chris at iris.washington.edu --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revision Notes (recent versions): Version 2.8 New features: * Ability to edit program properties. addition of the "home" property to define Vase's working directory * Support for accessing restricted data. * Response file downloading. * MINISEED output. * Extensive help screens. * Time spans are added to the nslc listing. User can see what time spans are available. * Support for time tears when saving waveforms to disk. When Vase detects a time tear it will create a new file. Small improvements and bug fixes: * Map loads in background, quicker response. * If first map fails to load, or zoom level is not supported, Vase will try second mapping service. * More consistent mapping of stations with what is requested. * Took out station editing from map. * SAC and SAC_ASCII files had header variables fixed. Variables referring to events were made "N/A" as opposed to zero values. * Added support for 32 bit compression when zooming. * Support for very long data streams. * The "About" pane can be place into its own popup window. Version 2.7 * Map now uses OGC mapping services for background and zoom capability. * Search for all networks uses a coarser scan for faster return of stations. * Implementation of restricted data access authentication -- to be paired with updated DHI waveform data service. * Vase icon included in application. * An 'about' screen with user documentation on how to use Vase. * Retrieval of real-time data automatic for end times equal to or greater than present time. Version 2.6.4 * Fixes for Windows display of seismogram screen, directory chooser, and zoom screen. * Support for SAC variables B and E in SAC output. * New Installer Graphics Created. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
