SUMMARY

Tell sac to read phase pick information (and possibly the author list) from a user-defined preferences file, or interactively enter phase pick information on the PICKPHASE command line.

SYNTAX

PICKPHASE header phase author {header phase author ... }
PICKPHASE FILE {filename}
PICKPHASE AUTHOR {filename}

INPUT

header: name of a header variable: t0 - t9.

phase: name of phase of pick desired for the given header variable.

author: name of the author desired for the given header or hyphen, "-", to tell sac to use the author list.

FILE: if the FILE option is used, sac will read the phase pick info. from the preferences file. If a filename is given on the command line, sac will read the specified file, else it will read the most recently entered file name from a previous call to PICKPHASE. If no filename was ever entered, sac will look for SACAUX/csspickprefs.

PHASE: this option behaves essencially like the FILE option with the added benefit of having sac read the author list as well.

DESCRIPTION

PICKPHASE is provided as a means to override the preferences file on the command line. It can be used to provide specific header/phase/author information at the command line, or to redirect SAC from one preferences file to another. For more on the preferences files, see PICKPREFS and READCSS.

Note If the user alters the preference settings while data is in the data buffers, the picks in the SAC data buffer (the buffer visible to the user through LISTHDR and CHNHDR etc.) may be modified. Eg. if the allowed phases include pP and PKiKP when some SAC files are read with the READ command which have some pP picks or some PKiKP picks these picks would be present in the Tn markers. If PICKPHASE is later used to remove pP and PKiKP from the allowed phases before the next READCSS MORE call, then pP and PKiKP arrivals will not be read from the CSS files, and the pP and PKiKP picks in the existing data will be removed from the Tn markers. For an explanation, type HELP PICKPREFS.
