SEGY 2 SAC
2012-07-05 06:27:50
Dear All:

I am running the latest passoft rpm on a 64-bit RHEL6 system.

(I start with SU data and convert it to SEGY data)

I am trying to convert segy data into sac format. (The segy data can
be read by pql)

I then run sierra2segy -g followed by segy2sac.

Although I get no error messages, the output from sierra2segy only
generates files that are 240 bytes long,
which I can not read with pql. The segy2sac produces no output.

I am guessing my issues arise from the segy binary header (400 byte)
that may be lacking an important
header value.

Does anyone have a small segy file they have converted successfully
into sac? If so
I could compare what is missing in my file and perhaps discover the
cause of my problem.

I would appreciate any other suggestions you may have.

Thanks for your time and advice in advance.

Juan Lorenzo

    Dear Juan -

    SAC's READ command will directly read SEGY files (in PASSCAL's variant of SEGY). See the command description information for READ.
