Thread: How to convert data in .sac format to ascii format ?

One suggestion is to download and utilize the sac2asc utility
available from the http://www.iris.edu/pub/programs/SAC/
site and called sac2asc.tar
Good luck-
Rick

Dear Guarav Dutta,

Please see the documentation on the SAC 'convert' utility (
http://www.iris.edu/manuals/sac/SAC_Commands/convert; the whole manual
available at http://www.iris.edu/manuals/sac/manual.html)

If you wish to convert many files, then you may find it best to create a SAC
macro in order to save time.

Finally, there are various C programs on the internet to read and write SAC
files without calling on SAC itself. Some (untested by myself) are to be
found here:

If these do not work, I can supply you with my own *.c and *.h files, but I
imagine they are very similar. This final method is undoubtedly quicker at
run time, but it may be more time consuming to code if you only wish to
convert a few files.

Best wishes,
Bob Myhill
