3.12 Setting general SEISAN defaults, SEISAN.DEF

There are several parameters which are common for several programs which are set in the file SEISAN.DEF. This file can be in your local directory or the DAT directory. The system will first look in the local directory, but normally the file is in the DAT directory. The file does not have to be there since there are defaults for all parameters, but the parameters might need to be set. It is also possible to include a file with settings by putting the '@' symbol in front of the additional file name to be read, e.g. '@additional.def', which can be useful for the extensive archive configuration.

The format of the file is as shown below:


This file is for defaults for SEISAN and called SEISAN.DEF. The name must
be in upper case on Linux. The following shows the parameters which can be set.
The file can contain any lines in any order, only the lines with 
recognized keywords and a non blank field under Par 1 will be read. The
comments have no importance.

#EOF SEISAN.DEF

The parameters are:

ALERT EMAIL: Give email addresses (more than one are given by repeating the key word with one new address per line) to which email command in EEV will send.

EMAIL SUMMARY: Give email addresses (more than one are given by repeating the key word with one new address per line) to which emailisum command in EEV will send.

EMAIL_SUMMAY_TITLE: Title to put into summary email.

EMAIL_SUMMARY_MAP: Optionally put a map in summary email: 0.0: no map, 1.0: epimap type, 2.0: GMT type.

MAILX_COMMAND_MAP: The mail command when sending a map, see EEV for an example.

EMAIL SYSTEM: System command to perform after using email command in EEV, if blank, no command is executed

AUTO_PROCESS: Set to 1. to run REG_AUTO_PROCESS.

CONFIRMATION: Level of confirmation required for example when deleting files, 0.=no confirmation and 1.=always confirm. (at the moment only used in eev)

CONT_BASE: Waveform database to be searched (there can be several). The base is selected as a default in base selection box in MULPLT if flag is 1.0. Example:

CONT_BASE selected by default           ESK            1.
CONT_BASE not sel by default            EDI            0.

CONT_YEAR_MONTH_POSTION_FILE: File name of file in continuous data base: First parmeter is the start position in the file name of the 4 digit year and second paramter is the start position of the 2 digit month. This paramter is also used for normal waveform files referenced in the S-file.

ARC_ARCHIVE: Path to BUD or SeiscomP archive

ARC_ARCHIVE2: Name and path to BUD or SeiscomP archive

ARC_TYPE: Type of archive, 0: BUD, 1: SeisComP

ARC_START_TIME: Deafault time(sec) to start before origin time

ARC_DURATION: Duration of segment(sec)

ARC_BY_DEFAULT: 0: not used, 1: Plot whole archive even when no archive has been specified in S-file, 2: Same as 1 but only stations with readings

ARC_CHAN: BUD or SeiscomP data that MULPLT will plot, given by station code, channel name, network code and location id.Optionally, the archive channel specification lines can have a time interval of validity. This is to avoid unnecessary checking of archive files if the archive has channels from different time periods. The format is: yyyymmddhh for both start and end time, only as much info as needed has to be specified. If start time is blank, start time is very early, if end time is blank, no end time. The start end end times are written in columns 61-70 and 71-80 respectively.

CONT_BEFORE: Minutes to read into the memory before the required start time (must be at least the length of a waveform file)

CONT_AFTER: Minutes to read into the memory after the data that is plotted

CONT_YEAR_MONTH_POSTION_FILE: Position in cont file name where year yyyy and month mm starts, all files must have the same format.

COPY_WAV_DIR: Normally, waveform files are copied to WAV when registering an event. If this parameter is set, waveform files can be copied to the WAV data base specified. Max 5 characters.

CURSOR: Select cursor: 0. for pointer, 1 for cross and 2 for crosshair (Unix only, on PC only pointer is available)).

EEV_COMMENT: Comments entered can then be used with EEV command ic. There can be any number of comments, max length 40 chars.

EPIMAP_MAP_FILE: The map coordinates file to use with MAP option in EEV and the MAP program.

EPIMAP_PROJECTION: The projection number used by EPIMAP with MAP option in EEV and program MAP, see EPIMAP program for choices.

EPIMAP_STATIONS: One letter indicator for plotting stations, in first column. See EPIMAP program for codes. A is all. Used with Map option in EEV as well as MAP program.

EPIMAP_PLOT_LOCALITY: 0.0: do not plot locality, 1.0: plot locality

EPIMAP_LOCALITY_FILE: File name to geographical locations file to use, absolute path.

GMT_GRIDFILE: File location and name of GMT gridfile used by MSAPG.

GMT_LOCALITY_FILE: The place name file used by MAPG.

FOCMEC MAXSOL: Maximum number of solutions in FOCMEC grid search, default is 100, however, it may be required to allow for more solutions.

FONT: Select font available on X system. To check available fonts use command `xlsfonts' or `xfontsel' and `xfd -fn font' to display a font. (Unix only)

HIGH_ACCURACY: Setting it to 1.0 enables high accuracy operation. This parameter affects programs MULPLT, HYP and UPDATE

HYPO71_OFFSET: Apply offset in degree to station and epicenter locations, required for example when not all stations are either east or west of 0 longitude.

MAGNITUDE_ORDER: A list of magnitude type and agency (e.g., LBER for ML from agency BER) can be given to specify the order of magnitudes for selection. The order is given by listing different magnitudes from top to bottom, where the magnitude at the top has highest priority and the bottom one the lowest. It is possible to leave either magnitude or agency blank in which case the blank represents a wildcard. This parameter is currently used by the program norcsv only.

MAILX COMMAND: Full path to mailx command (Unix only), which is used by email command in EEV.

MAP_LAT_BORDER, MAP_LON_BORDER: These parameters are used with command MAPi, MAPG and in EEV, which plot a map centered on current epicenter. The two parameters give the distance in degrees from the epicenter that the map should be plotted. If both set to `0.' EEV will ask for the parameters. Parameter is the same as EPIMAP_LAT_BORDER and EPIMAP_LON_BORDER

EPIMAP_LAT_BORDER and EPIMAP_LON_BORDER: Same as MAP_.....

MERGE_WAVEFORM: The network code given to waveform files merged with MULPLT when running from EEV. See MULPLT and EEV. Also used in WAVETOOL and SEISEI. Max 5 characters.

SPECTRAL_GEO_DEPTHS and HERKIJ_DISTANCE. See MULPLT spectral section for explanation. Parameters used to calculate geometrical spreading.

SPEC KAPPA: P and S kappa values, respectively, used with spec model.

SPEC Q BELOW 1 HZ: P and S values (X) for how Q is a function of frequency below the paramter value X. The Q-function is as follows: if X=0.0 then Q=Q0*f**qalpha. If X larger than 0.0, then Q=Q0*(1+f/X)**qalpha whwere f is frequency. These parameters are only active if the spec model is used, the default is X=1.0. The default is thus no frequecy dependense below 1 Hz. See also MULPLT, MULPLT.DEF and AUTOMAG.

SPEC MODEL: Gives depth, p-velocity, s-velocity, qp0, qpalpha, qs0, qsalpha and density. One line per layer in incresing depths. Format after column 40 is 8f5.0

REG_KEEP_AUTO: If flag set to 1.0, keep automatic pics when registering event from EEV.

TEXT_PRINT: Printer command used to print an S-file from EEV.

WAVEFORM BASE: Name of waveform data base to be searched. Normally this is a 1-5 letter data base name. The name must be written as shown above under Par1. Not needed for the default data base. The data base must have standard WAV year-month structure. It is intended to be used if for some reason the user wants to store waveform files in an alterenve WAV structure instead of the the one corresponding to the S-file data base. If a waveform file is not found in the base corresponding to the S-file base, WAVEFORM_BASE's will be searched.

WAVEFORM_DIRS: The complete path to directories where the system should look for waveform files. Searched last.

OUTPUT_DIR: Output Directory for SEISAN commands results. Default “./”

SEISAN_LOGGING: Command to turn logging on or off (1. or 0.0). Default is on.

GMAP_ICON_QUAKE: The gmap program used this parameter to defines the icon uses to illustrate an earthquake in Google Earth.

GMAP_ICON_EXPLOSION: The gmap program used this parameter to defines the icon uses to illustrate an explosion in Google Earth.

GMAP_ICON_PROB_EXPL: The gmap program used this parameter to defines the icon uses to illustrate a probable explosion in Google Earth.

GMAP_ICON_OTHER_EVENTS: The gmap program used this parameter to defines the icon uses to illustrate all other events in Google Earth.

GMAP_ICON_MSIZE: The gmap program will plot all events with a magnitude smaller than this with the size/scale of this value.

GMAP_ICON_XSIZE: The gmap program scale the epicenter icons with the formula :
scale=GMAP_ICON_XSIZE * Magnitude ** GMAP_ICON_YSIZE

GMAP_ICON_YSIZE: See GMAP_ICON_XSIZE

GMAP_APPEND_KML: With this parameter you can append yor own Google Earth KML code the the output file of gmap. Note, there can only be 100 GMAP_APPEND_KML lines and the KML code must be given between character no. 41 and no. 120.

GMAP_AUTO: To enable of disable the automatic generation of kml files, use 0.0 to disable or 1.0 to enable

GMAP_AUTO_ICON_EVENT: Link to icon used to display epicenter of current event

GMAP_AUTO_ICON_COLOR: color of epicenter icon e.g. ff0000ff

GMAP_AUTO_ICON_MSIZE: The magnitude is set to this values, if it is smaller or missing, e.g. 0.5

GMAP_AUTO_ICON_XSIZE: The size of the epicenter icon is given by this formula:
size=GMAP_AUTO_ICON_XSIZE * Magnitude ** GMAP_AUTO_ICON_YSIZE

GMAP_AUTO_ICON_YSIZE: See GMAP_AUTO_ICON_XSIZE

GMAP_AUTO_LOOKAT_ALTITUDE: Altitude from where the epicenter is viewed, default is 2000000.0 meter.

GMAP_AUTO_SHOW_STAT: To show the used station, use 0.0 to disable or 1.0 to enable

GMAP_AUTO_ERROR_ELLIPSE: To show the error ellipse, use 0.0 to disable or 1.0 to enable

GMAP_AUTO_ELLIPSE_COLOR: Set color of ellipse line, default ff000000

GMAP_AUTO_ELLIPSE_WIDTH: Set width of ellipse line, default 2.0
