In order to use continuous data form an archive, all the channels must be listed in SEISAN.DEF in a particular format. For a large archive, this can be a cumbersome job and we therefore have this program to automatically generate the lines needed in SEISAN.DEF using the information available in the archive (SeisComP type). The first step is to get a list of all the day files in the archive. In Linux this can be done with command (executed in archive top directory)
ls -R > archive.list
where all info is redirected to a file with any name, here archive.list. This can take some time for a large archive. The file can look like this
.: 2019 2020 2021 2022 ./2019: HA HC HI HL HP HT ./2019/HA: ATAL ATHU AXAR FYLH KALE KARY LAKA LOUT MAGU MAKR SNT5 STFN VILL ./2019/HA/ATAL: HHE.D HHN.D HHZ.D MME.D MMN.D MMZ.D SOH.L ./2019/HA/ATAL/HHE.D: HA.ATAL..HHE.D.2019.225 HA.ATAL..HHE.D.2019.226 HA.ATAL..HHE.D.2019.227 HA.ATAL..HHE.D.2019.228 HA.ATAL..HHE.D.2019.229 . .
GET_ARC_CHANNELS is now started and an example run is:
Input file name archive.list Output format, arc_chan (def=enter) or arc_chan2(=2) Which channels like HHE or **Z, enter for all, else one per line * is wild card **Z Which networks, enter for all, else one per line Which stations, enter for all, else one per line ATAL HHZ HA 2019 225 2019 363 ATAL MMZ HA 2019 225 2019 363 ATHU HHZ HA 2019 1 2019 365 AXAR HHZ HA 2019 1 2019 365 AXAR MMZ HA 2019 202 2019 365 FYLH HHZ HA 2019 202 2019 246 FYLH MMZ HA 2019 202 2019 246 KALE HHZ HA 2019 1 2019 365 Number of channels 8 Output file is get_arc_channels.out
The user can select two formats ARC or ARC2. There are also options for selecting out particular stations, channels or networks. If choosing ARC2, the ARC2 line archive identification will be given the name arc_loc, later to be associated in SEISAN.DEF with the location of the archive. The start and end time for each channel is determined from first and last channel found in the archive. Files with channel code LOG are ignored.
