KEEPAM

SUMMARY

Keep amplitude component of spectral files (of either the AMPH or RLIM format) in SAC memory.

SYNTAX

KEEPAM

DESCRIPTION

This command is an easy way for users to drop the phase component, so that the amplitude data may be subjected to algebraic operations which require single-dimensional data. If the files exist in the RLIM format, the data is first converted to the AMPH format, before phase is dropped. The resulting data files containing the amplitude component will exist as as generic xy files, so that they can be distinguished for time-domain files. May 28, 1991 (Version 10.5c)
