RSEIS (version 4.1-1)

Mine.seis: Mine a seismic data base to extract secions of time limited data

Description

Mine a seismic data base to extract secions of time limited data

Usage

Mine.seis(at1, at2, DB, grepsta, grepcomp, kind = 1, Iendian=1,
BIGLONG=FALSE, CHOP=TRUE, verbose=FALSE, chtoken=NULL, statoken=NULL, RAW=FALSE)

Value

List of seismograms cut from the database

Arguments

at1

time 1 in julian days

at2

time 2 in julian days

DB

data base structure to searcth through that provides the files where data is to extracted from

grepsta

which stations to extract

grepcomp

which components to extract

kind

kind of data, -1="RDS", 0="RDATA" , 0="RDATA", 1 = "segy", 2 = "sac"

Iendian

Endian-ness of the data: 1,2,3: "little", "big", "swap". Default = 1 (little)

BIGLONG

logical, TRUE=long=8 bytes

CHOP

cut the data to a window using CHOP.SEISN

verbose

print out intermediate information for debugging

chtoken

channel token for selecting channels (NULL)

statoken

station token for selecting stations (NULL)

RAW

logical, default=FALSE(convert to volts) , TRUE (return counts intead of volts)

Details

The data base is a list or dataframe containing the files names, the beginning time (t1) and ending time (t2) for each file in the data base. Mine.seis uses grep on the file names to extract specific files from the DB list.

Mine.seis needs to know what format the data was created in: little/big endian and the size of the LONG.

If data was created on a little endian machine but is being read on big endian machine, need to call the endian "swap" for swapping.

If data was created on a machine with LONG=4 bytes, be sure to call the program with BIGLONG=FALSE.

Use sysinfo to findout the system parameters for the local system. You need to know, however, what machine the binary files were created on.

In some situation the chanel name and the station name are not embedded in the file headers - in that case use the token from the file name.

if (FALSE) {

#######   Assume  k97DB already exists
for(i in 1:24)

at1 <- 232+(i-1)/24
at2 <- at1+1/24

GH <- Mine.seis(at1, at2, k97DB, "kar1", c("4", "1") )
w <- swig(GH)
if(identical(w$but, "QUIT"))break
