This dialog box is used to search for event files using
filters like event magnitude, distance to the event etc. This dialog box is
opened using the Search button in the main Open
File dialog box. There are two ways of searching for event files. One is
using a database file created using the Create Database File button or
searching the actual directly and option sub-directories for event files.
This method can take a very long time depending on the number of files
WinQuake needs to open to see if it is a valid event file and that it matches
the filter parameters. The directory searched is the directory selected by the
Open File dialog box. Any sub-directories located in the root directory will
be searched if the Sub-Directory check box is checked.
If you have a lot of event files on your system you can use
the database file option to reduce the time needed to search of the files on
your system. First you must create the database file using the Create
Database File button. Use the next dialog box to select the root directory
or drive letter containing your event files. WinQuake will then create the
database file by looking for event files in the root directory and in any
sub-directories. Note, the filter parameters are not used while looking for
event files to add to the database file. The EVENTDB.DAT database file created
by WinQuake is a standard ASCII text file that can be opened with any text
editor. The file is located in the root WinQuake directory or folder.
Once you have a database file you can search for events using
the filter parameters. To search the database file, check the Use Database
File check box, enter any filter parameters and press the Search
button. The maximum number of files returned by the search in either mode
(direct search or database file) is control by the Max Files edit box. When
the program completes the search, or if the maximum files has been reached,
the Search dialog box will be closed and the Open File dialog box will display
the search results. To redisplay the normal list of files either press the Update
button, select another directory using the Directory button
or the File menu directory list.
Additional Information:
The database file has the following format:
-
Number of event file records
-
Database version number
-
Root directory that was used to search for event files
-
Event file information
Each event file line has the following format. Comas are used
to separate each field.
-
Directory and filename
-
Event file start date and time
-
Channel/Sensor ID
-
Component letter - N = N-S orientation sensor, E = E-W, Z
= Vertical, ? = Unknown
-
Magnitude of the event or 0 if no event information is
included in the event file
-
Station to event distance in km or 0 if no event
information is included in the event file
-
Event depth in km or 0 if no event information is included
in the event file
-
Carriage/Line Feed characters
Below is an example of the first five lines of a database
file:
Records: 020253
Version: 1.0
Root: j:\quakes
j:\quakes\0001\000102a.bhz.gumo.psn,01/02/2000 12:58:17,GUMO,Z,5.6,5489,33
j:\quakes\0001\000101a.gr2.psn,01/01/2000 01:20:23,GR2,Z,0,0,0

The Y-Scale number, controlled by the Y-Scale dialog box
and the vertical scrollbar now specifies the maximum peak counts,
volts or sensor units to display. As an example, if the display mode
is set to display A/D counts and the Y-Scale is set to 1000, WinQuake
will draw a y-grid from 0 to +- 1000 A/D counts. The Y-Scale Display
group controls the display mode. The default is A/D counts if the
Sensitivity field of the header is 0 and the event file does
not have the SensorAmpAtoD data structure ( see above). If the A/D
voltage and amplifier gain are specified, the user can select either
the voltage seen by the A/D converter or the input to the amplifier
if the Amp Volts item is selected.
The current Y-Scale is displayed in the toolbar and in the text
portion of the event window. The Y-Scale label can be one of the
following: c = counts, v = volts, m = meters or Sensor Unit. If the
Y-Scale Display is set to counts, the Y-Scale label can be: "Mc"
= megacounts, "kc" = kilocounts, "c" = counts,
"mc" = millicounts, "uc" = microcounts and "nc"
= nanocounts. If the display mode is set to Amp or A/D Volts, the
label can be "nv" = nanovolts, "mv" for
millivolts, "v" = volts and "kv" = kilovolts. If
the display mode is set to Sensor Units, the label can be "nm"
= nanometers, "mm" = millimeters, "cm" =
centimeters and "m" = meters.
Y-Scale Dialog Box Other
Options Group:
All Records Check Box:
If checked, the new
Y-Scale value will be applied to all of the records in the current
selected Event Window. This check box will only be enabled if two or
three event files are being displayed in the same Event Window. See
Three Component Display documentation below for more information.
If checked, the new
Y-Scale value will be applied to all Event Windows. This check box
will be enabled when there are two or more open Event Windows.
If checked, WinQuake
will display the cm label when the Y-Scale or sensor data goes
between 10.0 mm (millimeters) and 1 meter. If not checked, the label
will remain mm until 1 meter is reached.
If checked, the
current Y-Scale value will be used as the Y-Scale for any new event
Window. The Use as Default switch and Y-Scale value are saved
in the winquake.ini file and will be used again when WinQuake is
restarted.
This dialog box is used to control filtering of the dataset in the time domain. The
filter applied is a Infinite Impulse Response low or high pass Butterworth filter. The Low-Pass and High-Pass
frequency edit boxes can now accept seconds, or the period of the cutoff frequency, as an input.
Example: Entering "20 s or 20s" in either filter frequency edit boxes will produce a frequency of 0.05 Hz (1.0 / 20.0).
The
Extended Period Filter group is used to control the period extending filter.
This type of filter compensates for the 12db roll-off per octave of a sensor
like a geophone or Lehman below the period of the
sensor.
The user can now create one or more predefined filters. To use this feature, enter the filter
parameters in the Butterworth Filter Type group and select the Add button.
Enter the name of the filter in the next dialog box. The new filter name should now show up in the
filter drop list. Whenever you change the filter drop list, the new filter information will be
updated in the Butterworth Filter Type group. The Update button updates the
Butterworth Filter Type group with the predefined filter parameters of the currently selected
filter drop box. The Remove button removes the current selected predefined filer. Currently there
is no way of editing the predefined filter parameters. To change the filter parameters you will need
to remove the filter and then use the Add button to re add the filter to the predefined filter list.
