Hi,
I am very new to sac (and a bit to seismology in general) and have
started experimenting with sac.
one of my header lines is:
IDEP = JSOP
I didn't find any reference for JSOP.
Any ideas what that could be?
Thanks

Has anyone had problems running SAC on Lion? I have, plenty... Lately,
it has been running but I know it'll crash either when I want to plot
anything using p. I get tons of unrequested comments as I am processing
data, such as
setcolor3:0 0 [default]
This appears after almost every command.
Then, it suddenly, and for no apparent reason, crashes, like this
SAC> r curt curtnoint
SAC> p2
SAC> r curt
SAC> p

Jose,
I got temporary access to a OS10.7.2 machine but had no problems.
I had sent out a "beta" version of v101.5, and I think someone wrote back
that it had worked okay for them on OS 10.7.2. Still, it is not working
for you, so we need to figure out the reason. Please repeat the steps I do
below and make a file of the screen interactions and send it to me.
Important questions are the version of gcc you are using. (The one
here is the defalt that comes with xcode -- which was put on …

Hi;
I'm running SAC on Mac OSX 10.7.2 and thought it installed correctly and
seems to work OK, it crashes a lot. It
crashes sometimes as in the example below after seemingly routine
commands, like read and plot. Sometimes it crashes for
a segmentation fault, without apparent motive, just when plot is invoked.

Hello,
could you please let me know what would be the sac polezero file for a Milne-Shaw instrument with the following characteristics:

Re: pole-zero for Milne-Shaw seismometer - Caroline Holden - 2012-01-25 00:17:47
Hi,
My understanding was that wsac1 keeps all the header values from the most recent rsac1 call? However, in the following example, file tmp1.z lost all its event/station coordinates and related headers.
Any hints? Thanks. Steve Gao
------------------------------------
nin1='tmp.z'
call rsac1(nin1, x, npts, beg, delta, max, nerr)
nin1='tmp1.z'
call wsac1(nin1, x, npts, beg, delta, nerr)

Hello,
I have converted velocity seismograms to displacement and I see that header
GCARC are not the same. I haven't checked other headers at this time. In
one case, the difference was ~7 degrees. Is there a reason for this? How do
I mitigate this problem.
Thanks for your time!
Januka.

Hi everyone,
I recently update sac into sac 101.5 on centos6.2 and centos 5.5, both
32bit and encountered problems while changing headers using "ch ", as
described bellow.
cat <<EOF >test.sh
funcgen seis
w demo.sac
rh demo.sac
ch t1 12.0
wh
r demo.sac
lh t1
q
EOF
sac < test.sh
As shown in my linux, the header t1 do not exist in demo.sac and moreover
it seems the waveform has been changed.
Is this a bug or it is due to the setup of my linux env?
Any advices ? thanks!
PS. I use the pre-com…
