Does IRIS support any simple ASCII data formats that contain timeseries data?


Q:
Does IRIS support any simple ASCII data formats that contain timeseries data?

A:
Yes.  IRIS now provides as an alternative output two forms of columnar text representations of data.

Currently, IRIS web services and rdseed can write out miniSEED data as ASCII.  An example is shown below.
