NAME ¶

Jrdseed – A Java port of our classic rdseed application developed by ISTI.

DESCRIPTION ¶

A Java version of rdseed currently under development. This evaluation supports core rdseed functionality, including the reading and writing of SEED volumes, as well as SAC (binary) and CSS output. SAC ASCII format is forthcoming. SEGY output is not being considered in the short term.

Treat the operation of Jrdseed much like you would the legacy rdseed code. As for the command interface, some features are not being used in the current release:

• In place of ALT_RESPONSE_FILE, use the -g flag on the command line to indicate a dataless SEED file to use for response information.
• The volume number (-v) option: SEED files with multiple volume numbers are no longer used.
• The start/stop times (-t) output will not have the logical record sequence number printed.
• The list contents of each record in the volume (-l) option is not supported.
• SAC ASCII output is not in SAC format, but is a currently a rudimentary delimited ASCII output.
• SAC poles and zeroes output is not supported.
• SEGY output is not supported.

INSTALLATION AND USAGE ¶

You can download Jrdseed here

For those not familiar with the rdseed interface, please refer to the rdseed online manual

The rdseed manual will tell you how to use Jrdseed, aside from the feature differences mentioned above. The other critical difference is how you start Jrdseed. Since it uses Java, you have to use the Java launcher on the .jar file itself (Java 1.5 or later is required):

java -jar JrdseedVer0.10.1.jar

How do I run Jrdseed?

Jrdseed must be run from the command line.

In Windows ¶

Go to Start-->Run...
Type 'cmd' in the prompt. You should get a terminal window.

Other Operating Systems ¶

For other operating systems, use a Terminal window.

cd 'your_Jrdseed_directory' (substitute with your directory for Jrdseed)

Then:

java -Xmx512m -jar JrdseedVer0.10.1.jar

for a 512 MB memory allocation, or:

java -Xmx1024m -jar JrdseedVer0.10.1.jar

for a 1 GB memory allocation.

A sample session with Jrdseed looks like:

myserver% java -jar JrdseedVer0.10.1.jar

-C   retrieve the comments where arg is either STN or CHN
-d   read data from tape
-e   extract event/station data
-f   input filename
-g   alternate response file(s)
-i   ignore location codes
-k   strip records from output which have a zero sample count. (miniseed and seed only)
-l   list contents of each block in volume
-o   specify output format (1=SAC, 2=AH, 3=CSS, 4=MINISEED, 5=SEED [default=1])
-q   specify the output directory
-Q   specify data type (E=Everything, D=Data of undetermined state, R=Raw waveform data, Q=QC'd data
-R   print response data
