Hi, I am having trouble with running a small macro that I am trying to write. I have a bunch of sac files (Z, E, N) in a directory and I want to read event specific files (i.e. Z,N,E of a given event) together, do a calculation and give the out put. One I tried to use to read the files is r $1$..BHZ.R.SAC $2$..BHN.R.SAC $3$..BHE.R.SAC This wouldn't read the files and right now I am running out of options, Would anyone have a good solution for this? Further is there a way to preserve the ori… [more]

I am plotting XY data in a text (ascii) file usinig readtable (readtable content Y). The x-value is time (julian day). I want to plot nothing if there is no value (ie, a blank line) for a particular day, but it seems readtable will just skip this and scoot all the values down, so that a gap of 20 days does not show up in the plot. I've tried setting a dummy value of -99 (e.g.) instead of having a blank value. Is there any way to get SAC to skip a specified dummy value and plot nothing for i… [more]

I have a seismogram on which I have about used up the allowable number (50?) of plabels. I have not been able to format a plabel with one or more pieces of text and one or more variables. One such attempt was: plabel 48 "mediumfreq "$powerm" " " "$mulm" I have tried many combinations of " and ' including quoting the entire expression and/or the pieces inside. I have not had luck assembling a string within sac and putting it in a plabel. Can anyone kindly advise me how to have a single… [more]

Hi, If you got the Program as a tgz file you need to unpack it: $ tar zxvf sac.tgz Then you can find Instructions in sac/Readme You don't really need to install it, just set the SACAUX variable and run it from the folder that came out of the tar. ciao, Andreas On 11/7/06, Hadi Ghofrani <ghofrani@seismo.um.ac.ir> wrote: > Dear Sir > I appreciate it very much if you could advise how can I install sac2000 on > linux 9 (RedHat). > > Best regards > Hadi Ghofrani >

I'm having trouble with a Fortran program that I inherited, that reads in information from a text file, makes some calculations, and writes the results into an existing SAC blackboard file. The program appears to compile okay (though I have to use the -m32 option in the makefile as I've recently moved to a 64-bit Linux platform). When I try to run it, however, it seems to be successful in reading the blackboard file, but crashes with a "Segmentation Fault" as soon as it gets to the first "setb… [more]
