help on rsac.m
2008-11-25 02:37:27
Hi All,

The Matlab script rsac.m reads my sac data in Matlab environment, but
mostly the values of the variables
are not correct, they are not even close. An example is given below.
If you have any similar experience or suggestion, please give me your
advice.

Thank you.

Dugda

Example:
rsac('2008.211.18.40.15.1695.II.PFO.00.BHN.R.SAC')

ans =

dt: -428443552

    Dear Dugdo,

    Looks like you are reading a file of the incorrect byte order which
    is why you are getting values similar to
    1e-38 and 1e28

    Try using the sacswap utility to change the byte order.
    % sacswap 2008.211.18.40.15.1695.II.PFO.00.BHN.R.SAC

    Cheers
    Brian
