Hi, all,

does anyone know the zero-polar points for Guralp CMG-3ESPC?

Thx.

    You can get the data sheets for your particular
    Guralp seismometer by emailing "caldoc<at>guralp.com"
    with the serial number of the seismometer in the
    subject line. It also works for digitisers, but
    for both, only if they were recently manufactured.
    The reply consists of Microsoft Word documents.
    Beware that these DO NOT OPEN PROPERLY in OpenOffice
    - always open them in a genuine copy of Microsoft
    Word.

    also beware that the poles and zeros are for
    velocity in Hz not displacement in radians,
    and have to be converted for SAC.

  • Dear Lee,

    I attached a 3ESPC calibration document from Guralp. Generaly they have the same Pole-Zero values. I recommend that you should send a mail to
    caldoc<at>guralp.com. write the sensor and digitizer serial numbers (i.e. T3W49, A203, T3W50, B201) in to the subject part. The system sends back the doc files. If you can not get files write to support team at Guralp. They will send you manually.

    The main point is that you must convert the poles-zeros in the document in to radian (poles*2*pi*f) for SAC, and add 1 extra zero for integration. and convert A0 value to radian and displacement (see the pdf file) type.

    best regards

      The 3ESPC calibration documents
      that I have seen are specified in velocity so the
      instructions below are probably correct. Read the
      calibration document from Guralp carefully: some
      Guralp seismometers have poles and zeros specified in
      acceleration, so you have to add TWO zeros to integrate
      to displacement for SAC. Check that your
      calibration document says "velocity response output"
      above the list of poles.

    • It's been a while since I worried about this, and I've screwed things
      up a bit.

      I requested some data from the DMC, using Standing Order for Data
      (SOD). It is big-endian. When I write a sac file on my x86 computer,
      the sac file seems to be in little-endian format (the native format);
      however, when I just write headers to the original sac file, the file
      stays in the big-endian format.

      I'd like all my data to be in one format, preferably the native,
      little-endian, format. I can use sacswap to change format, but it
      seems to work indiscriminantly on files, swapping them even if they are
      in the native format.

      So, I was wondering:
      1) If there is any way to make sac write files in the same
      byte-order that the file was read in
      2) is there a more elegant way to work with sacswap, to get it to
      only swap non-native byte order files. I think the mac version of
      sacswap does do this.

      I realize now I should have used the <littleEndian/> tag in my SOD
      request, and it's actually not to hard to retrace my steps and run
      sacswap on the files that need to be swapped. But I can't help if
      there is a more elegant way to do this...

      Thanks,

      Derek

      • Derek,

        This is the second request for this feature recently and it should not
        take much to add in this type of functionality. It will most likely be
        designed as an option you would need to turn on, but this should. I
        will add this to my list of things to do.

      • Hi

        You could take a look at a small program that I wrote that can do it for
        you. The name of the program is sacswapbyte.
        You can check it from my webpage ...

        http://sites.google.com/site/foo4funreborn/

        From this program you can pass in many files and say that I want that the
        output should be little or big and will find out wich files need to be
        converted and those that should not be changed. Also there are other tools
        (sactools) on my webpage for handling large amounts of sacdata in one run.
        Like make tables of header variables or renaming sac files ... well have a
        look !

        regards,

        marcelo
