C.1 SEISAN response format

There are three SEISAN response formats. The instrument response can either be presented as (1) instruments constants, (2) pairs of frequency amplitude and phase or as (3) poles and zeros.

  78      : P: Poles and zeros
            Blank: Seismometer period etc used for response info. See below for 
                   details.
            T: Use up to 30 tabulated values irrespective of what is given
               below. If less than 30, blank characters must be given.
  79      : C: a combination of table, poles and zeros or instrument
               constants have been used, for information only. Value in 78
               must then be T.
            F: Force use of header response. Only
               gain at 1 hz is correct and 78 must be set to T.

OPTION 2
If character 78 is T, use tablated values, format as in option 1


OPTION 3
If character 78 is P, option 2:

Line 3
  1 - 22:   (1X,2I5,G11.4) 1. NUMBER OF POLES
                          2. NUMBER OF ZEROS
                           3. NORMALIZATION CONSTANT, COUNTS/M
  23 - 80 (5G11.4)         2 Poles in pairs of real and imaginary parts

Lines 4-13
  1 - 80: (G11.4) Remaining poles and zeros. 7 values are written
                           and then 3 spaces are left blank.
