Instrument Response Files



Specifying instrument response files:

The pole-zero instrument responses for a given trace is specified by the first of the following files that is found:

(1) The file specified by the response parameter following the data channel file URL specification -channel.N, or
(2) The file whose name is the data channel file URL concatenated with . and the string specified by the channel.response.ext= program parameter, or
(3) A file with standard rdseed naming (e.g. SAC_PZs_GE_STU_BHZ__2000.001.00.00.00.0000) that matches the net_sta_chan_loc of the trace if channel.response.file=RDSEED_SAC_PZ , or
(4) A file whose name is the data channel file URL concatenated with .pz, .zp or .paz if channel.response.file=PAZ, or
(5) A global response file specified in the channel.response.file= program parameter
The response files are searched for in the directory specified by -channel.response.path=

If -channel.response.type=POLE_ZERO the pole-zero response file must be in Omega format (see e.g. http://www.iris.edu/manuals/sac/SAC_Commands/transfer) and must give the scaling to nanometers of ground displacement unless specified otherwise by the -channel.response.units.before= parameter.

If -channel.response.type=GSE the pole-zero response file must be in GSE2.0 or GSE2.1 format.
