HYP will assign reasonable default values for RESET TEST parameter. Below is shown a summary. For full details see HYP manual. The number to the left is the control parameter and D indicates the default value. The most important parameter are given in bold.
| 2: | Step length damping control, D: 500.0. |
| 7-9: | Duration magnitude coefficients used for calculating the coda magnitude, as MAG = TEST(7) + TEST(8) * LOG(T) + TEST(9) * DELTA where T is the coda length in seconds, DELTA is the hypocentral distance in km. D: 7: -0.87, 8: 2.0, 9: 0.0035 (Lee et al., 1972) If test(8) is negative, its positive value will be used and log(T) will be squared. Note however, that the individual stations magnitude values printed out during the run of HYP still will be using the unsquared log(T). |
|---|---|
| 11: | Maximum no of iterations in the least-squares rms minimization, D: 99.0 |
| 13: | Increment in km for auxiliary rms, D: 20.0 km. To disable (save some computation time), set to 0.0. |
| 30: | Initial damping factor, D: 0.005 |
| 31: | Max degs of freedom: Set to 3 for determining origin time and hypocenter, set to 2 for fixed depth solution (depth on phase headers), -2 fix all events to starting depth in STATION0.HYP, 1 to fix all hypocenters to value on phase headers, 0 to fix hypocenters and origin times to values on phase headers. D:3.0 |
| 32: | Magnitude of parameter changes (km) below which convergence is assumed, D: 0.05 |
| 34: | Minimum spread to normalize residuals, D: 0.1, do not change |
| 35: | Bisquare weighting width, D: 4.685, do not change |
| 36: | RMS residual low limit for bisquare weighting for local events, D: 0.0 |
| 37: | Maximum number of increases in damping before fixing depth, D: 10.0 |
| 38: | Least squares errors (0.0), damped least squares errors (1.0) with initial test(30) damping value, D: 0.0 |
| 39: | Factor by which damping is increased when RMS increases, D: 4.0 |
| 40: | Depth origin of coordinate system, 0: sea level, 1:maximum elevation station in station list, D: 0.0 |
| 41: | Maximum distance (km) from nearest station at which hypocentral solutions will be generated, D: 20000. |
| 43: | Maximum rms for an event to be used in average station residual calculation - doesn't affect the final hypocenter solution, D:1.5 |
| 44: | Rg phase velocity in km/sec, D: 3.0 |
| 45: | Minimum rms difference between the location on the header line and the new location for the event to be used for average difference in location, D: 50.0 |
| 46: | Minimum number of non zereo weight phases for event ot be included in average difference in location, D: 3.0 |
| 47: | Prevent depth to go below Moho and Conrad for n and b phases respectively, 1: enabled, 0: disabled, D: 0.0 |
| 49: | T-phase velocity, D: 1.48 km/sec |
| 50: | Flag for using azimuth phases, 0 disables. Disabling the azimuths also means that they are not used for a starting location. A better solution will often be to set the azimuth error, TEST(52) to a large value, effectively disabling them.D: 1.0 (enabled). |
| 51: | Lg phase velocity in km/sec, D: 3.5. |
| 52: | Relative weighting of error in azimuth used in azimuth inversion (degrees). The default value of 10 means that an error of 10 degrees will give the same contribution to the rms residual as a travel time error of 1 sec, D: 5.0 |
| 53: | Critical distance phases moved to by start loc. if Pn or Sn, D: 130.0 km |
| 56: | A value of 1.0 enables the starting location algorithm, STARTLOC. Estimates are then obtained from apparent velocity, distance, azimuths, etc. If test(56)=0.0 epicenter is taken 0.2 km from the first arrival station. D: 1.0 MUST BE SET TO 1.0 TO LOCATE WITH ONE STATION ONLY. |
| 57: | Distance (geocentric km) beyond which IASPEI91 tables are used to calculate travel times for regional events. Can be overridden by the distance letter L in the Nordic format. D: 1500 km |
| 58: | Maximum apparent velocity (km/sec) for phase data to be used. This option was added to selectively disable some of the PKP phases, which have large errors due to their steep angle of incidence. Their velocities were almost always > 25 km/s, D: 100.0 (effectively disabled) |
| 59: | Critical distance for PKP core phases to be used in starting location, D: 13000 km |
| 60: | Seconds by which the arrival time difference between two adjacent stations can exceed the travel time between them. Setting this to 0 disables the initial consistency check. D: 5.0 |
| 61: | Multiple of apparent velocity regression residual rms at which arrival times are weighted to zero during start location determination. Reducing this value will cause arrivals to be rejected when they do not conform to the plane wave set of arrivals which is characteristic of distant events. Unless you are getting a lot of messages ' xxx removed: Apparent velocity deviation =..', in the output, it is recommend against changing this default value. However, you can disable this feature by setting test(61)=0.0, D: 2.0 |

| 63: | Types of phases used when calculating travel times
and their derivatives and resulting residuals
and rms. The default value of 0 means that all 8 letters
of the phase ID are matched. However, first arrivals are used
before and after the critical distance for N and G phases,
respectively.
0: match 4 char. phase ID in phase, 2nd letter is case insensitive 1 use minimum time for 1st letter phase 2 use refracted 'n' phases, set other phases weighted to 0 3 use surface 'g' phases 4 use Conrad 'b' phases 5 use only minimum time P, Pn, Pg and pP phases no PKP's, all other phases weighted to 0 D: 0.0 |

| 71: | Sort output according to distance,(y=1,n=0), D: 1.0 |
| 72: | Auto phase identification for distant events (y=1,n=0), D: 0.0 |
| 73: | Number of iterations with first P's before autophase id., D: 3.0 |
| 74: | Print input phase data in print.out (y=1,n=0), 0.0 |
| 75-78 | Ml magnitude coefficients. Ml = TEST(75)*log10(amp) + TEST(76)*log10(dist) + TEST(77)*dist + TEST(78) where amp is amplitude in nm and dist hypocentral distance in km. The defaults are Ml = 1.0 * log10(amp) + 1.11*log10(dist) + 0.00189*dist - 2.09 which is close to the original Richter definition (Hutton and Boore, 1987). |
