SUMMARY

Controls errors due to bad cut parameters.

SYNTAX

CUTERR FATAL|USEBE|FILLZ

INPUT

FATAL:	Treat cut errors as fatal.
USEBE:	Replace bad start cut with file begin and bad stop cut with file end.
FILLZ:	Fill with zeros before file begin or after file end to account for difference between bad cut and file begin and end.

DEFAULT VALUES

FILLZ for signal stacking subprocess, USEBE for others.

DESCRIPTION

CUTERR controls error conditions arising from bad CUT parameters. It is effectively an option of CUT, but is used with the following syntax: CUTERR {cuterr option} ; CUT {CUT options}. No action is taken until a subsequent READ or FUNCGEN. If the CUTERR option is FATAL, no data will be entered into memory. Data will be enered into memory for options USEBE or FILLZ with results as described above. The options are not case sensitive.

EXAMPLES

Command fg seismo reads into memory a seismogram:

SAC> CUT OFF
SAC> fg seismo
SAC> lh b, a, e, npts, kztime
b = 9.459999e+00                        a = 1.046400e+01
e = 1.945000e+01                     npts = 1000
kztime = 10:38:14.000

One gets the same result for lh if one precedes the fg seismo command with either CUT A -5 E or CUTERR USEBE ; CUT A -5 E because USSEBE is the default for CUTERR. One gets a different result for the option FILLZ:

SAC> CUTEERR FILLZ ; CUT A -5 E
SAC> fg seismo
SAC> lh b, a, e, npts, kztime
b = 5.459999e+00                       a = 1.046400e+01
e = 1.945000e+01                     npts = 1400
kztime = 10:38:14.000

If on followed the CUTERR FILLZ example with P1, one would see an abrupt transition at time B because seismo has a nonzero offset at B. The following set of commands would produce a display with no offset: fg seismo ; rtr ; taper ; write test.sac ; CUTEERR FILLZ ; CUT A -5 E ; read test.sac.
