Dear SAC users
I am working on data from a list of seismic stations which have
different types of sensors: CMG-40, CMG-3T-120s, CMG-3ESP, STS-1, and
STS-2. I need to remove the instrument response from SAC files. I
could get information on Poles and Zeros data. However, I could not
find enough information about the normalizing factor and hence, how to
calculate the CONSTANT value.
If any one has information about the CONSTANT of these sensor types, I
will appreciate it!
Regards!

Dear Sirs/Madams,
I'm the author of a free IRIS-supported Macintosh program called
SeisMac, which uses Mac laptops' built in accelerometers to convert
the laptops into (not very accurate) seismographs. You can find more
about it at <http://www.suitable.com/tools/seismac.html>.
I'm finishing off an update which will let you export selected data
as a binary SAC or ascii SACA file. I think I've got it right (Global
Earthquake Explorer successfully reads the SAC files), but I'd love
to have…

Hi all,
Actually I tried many times to produce a polt for (BAZ vs Time )for the
Receiver functions that I got but I could not.
Could you help me to do that
I am not using sac2000(to use Prof. Herman Package) but I am using
sac(101.1)on linux 64bit machine.
Thanks a lot
with my best regards,

software, I have got one project based on SAC software.I requested for SAC
software on IRIS..And I installed it on my laptop. I have ubuntu installed

Dear Sir
I have three questions about macros in the SAC:
(1)In the example, particle motion plots are produced for five different two second time windows on the same data file: READ ABC
SETBB TIME1 0
DO TIME2 FROM 2 TO 10 BY 2
XLIM %TIME1 $TIME2
TITLE 'Particle Motion from %TIME1 to $TIME2$'
PLOTPM
SETBB TIME1 $TIME2
ENDDO
(Why is a dollar sign needed after TIME2 in the TITLE command?)
(2)In the example, we need to calculate the tangent of an angle that has already been stored in the b…

Hi, I'm new to the SAC help list so maybe this has been addressed
elsewhere. I have obtained the latest Linux version and have carefully
gone through all the setup instructions on my machine. Unfortunately I
don't have administrative access to my own (institutional-owned) laptop so
have had to put the SAC files into alternate directories and adjust the
paths and environmental variables accordingly.
When I invoke sac, all I get is a Floating Point Exception.
I have put this same version of SA…

Hello,
I have problem using "merge".
I would like to read file names from another file and make it as variables.
But it seems that the "merge" command needs a full name.
e.g. I can read a file this way:* r 1997.123.*.sac*, it works well.
but when I use merge: *merge 1997.123*.sac*, it returns the error: *Error
108: file does not exist*.
So could you help me? Thank you very much!

Thanks

I am trying to find a time history of displacements. Typically, I have
found that sac files are acceleration time histories. It appears (based on
the header - dependent variable) that there may be displacement data
available. Does anyone know of any time vs. displacement data? Is there a
quick way to narrow my data search to only displacement data?
Thanks!
Grant
