Hi Pratyush-

What I would be looking for is indications that an event origin has been marked in the SAC header. Once you read the file, you can list the header contants:

SAC> read /data/sac/IU.RAO.00.BHZ.M.2019.206.143943.SAC
SAC> listhdr

Hi, I have downloaded data from WILBER3, the data is in sac format (although other formats like SEED or miniseed are available. For each event seismograms are like .BHZ, .BHE, .BHN which is okay. However, while computing P receiver function from the data, MATLAB program is saying P arrival (or S arrival is not found). I have not installed SAC software as such. I am working on Redhat Linux.

Thanks for responding. Seeking for guidance.

Hi Pratyush-

If you do a LISTHDR in SAC, what does it return? Also, what platform/OS are you running Matlab on?
