Greetings We have a question for the SAC users group. Recently a need to support double precision floating point for data in SEED format has been identified. While SEED itself can support this, the problem comes with possible output formats the rdseed program should support. The most widely used format is SAC format in our estimation. Our question is, is it possible for SAC to support double precision floating point values without loosing precision? Would it be extremely difficul… [more]

Dear all, I agree with Apostolos Agalos. I also think the Constant should be derived from the multiplication of the Sensitivity with A0. I think the following method should be right when calculating the CONSTANT. CONSTANT=A0×Sensor Sesivity × Digitiser Gain × 2*pi here A0 is in rad/sec Unit,Digitiser Gain is V/ms.

I am running Sac v101.1 on a Mac PPC G4 with OSX v10.4.10. Does anyone know if the sac command 'mat' works on Macintosh computers (with Sac v101.1 Mac PPC OSX version), and if so, could you send me an example of using it? This is what I got when I tried to run it. First I read in some seismograms, then SAC> mat testmat1.mat SACdata SeisData Mfile specified is: testmat1.mat ERROR 8002: Cannot link to MATLAB shared object: or if I try a more interactive approach SAC> mat ERROR 8002: Cann… [more]

I am not completely sure that this is the solution for you but it is common to set as Constant the result from the multiplication of the Sensitivity with A0. try it!!
