NAME

db2msd - convert wfdisc/waveform files to miniseed

SYNOPSIS

db2msd [-t age] [-1nv] db

DESCRIPTION

db2msd converts waveform files from some other format to miniseed. Typical savings are in the neighborhood of a factor of four.

db2msd is intended primarily for use with cdorb2db, which records data into s4 format files to handle the special data transmission characteristics of cd1 data.

OPTIONS

FILES

Waveform files are renamed as they are converted by appending a plus + sign.

EXAMPLE

BUGS AND CAVEATS

cdorb2db leaves gaps of any size in the waveform file marked with a special value; db2msd preserves these gaps with a different marked value in the miniseed files. This avoids changing the wfdisc records (except for datatype and dfile).
