Hello to all,
I'm new to the mailing list, I'm a researcher from Pisa.
Now my question in basically simple, but I don't think the answer will be
the same.
As I pointed out in the mail-object, I was wondering how I could get the
FINAL date
of the time series I've read in SAC 101.6a??
To make it clearer, if I use the "ppk" function and click over the last
sample of the plot
it appears on screen the relative date: how can I export that date from
SAC?
In the header I could get only the START DATE ( NZYEAR NZJDATE NZHOUR ecc..)
Anyone have tried before? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Have a great weekend!

    Hi Mateo,

    In Sac header you can NTPS: number of points.
    and DELTA: interval between samples.
    so, multiply NTPS*DELTA and obtain the
    seismogram duration in seconds
    then add it to KZTIME.

    try:

    sac> funcgen seismogram
    sac> lh
    here NTPS=1000, DELTA=1e-2, so 10 seconds of record.

    HTH,

      Thanks a lot Milton!
      I'll even use the bash function "date" to have the right extreme of the
      date.
      Because i need to have the values for the time axis to plot with GMT.
      Thanks again, have a nice week!
      Matteo
