Aloha,

I found a command called “smooth” that will perform a running average. However, it does not work on my version of SAC [11/11/2013 (Version 101.6a)] running on OS High Sierra Version 10.13.6 on my 2018 MacBook Pro

Any help on how I can run a moving average appreciated!

Cheers,
Barry

    Dear Barry -

    Three other solutions are:

    1) download MacSAC — SMOOTH works on it;
    2) download a more recent version of IRIS’ SAC — SMOOTH might have been fixed
    3) write a program to do a smooth of a single SAC trace and rewrite the file, and use the program in a SAC macro to make your own custom smoother.

  • Hi Barry,
    You could use functions rms and markptp in a macro to compute a running
    rms. If you are using MacSAC, then have a look at this response from George
    in 2012!
