28.6 COMP_HYP, compare hypocenters of two Nordic files

This program is similar to COMPARE_HYP, but simpler, in that it compares two Nordic files and writes out differences. Typical application is that one wishes to see how changes in velocity model, station coordinates, software version, format changes etc affect the location results. Here is an example of how the program runs:

  Program to compare hypocenters from two Nordic files 
  Name of first Nordic file, reference data 
select.out
  Name of second Nordic file 
hyp.out
  Enter minimum numbers to select event with significant change : distance (km)/depth (km)/rms

End of s-file
 the standard deviation of the difference to the  reference for the 3 parameters is:    epicenter:    0.87   depth:        1.25   rms:          0.39

 Number of events in input file          34
 Output file names are: 
     comp_hyp.out: list with changes of all events
     comp_hyp_change.out: list of events that changed
     comp_hyp_events_changed.out: nordic format
     comp_hyp_events_unchanged.out: nordic format

In this example the files select.out and hyp.out were compared. A number of output files are generated.
