There are few applications that use either SEED or miniSEED volume and converts it to SAC or ASCII. Conversion from SEED to datelessSEED, from SEED to miniSEED and from miniSEED to SEED are possible as well. Resulting SAC file contains sensitivity information derived from source file (if available) as well as location details. Each trace from the source will be saved as separate file as 'network.station.location.channel.starttime_microsecond.FILETYPE'. Only in the 'SEED to miniSEED converter' application the User may chose to write result to single output file.

This applications use either seed files or miniSEED files (uploaded from the episode data or acquired elsewise) as input. The User may select from 'Actions', 'USE IN APPLICATION' five converters for seed files (left green field in Figure 1) and three converters for miniSEED files (right green filed in Figure 1).

  • Write result to single output file - The User may chose to write result to single output file rather than one file for each signal (option only available for 'SEED to miniSEED converter').
