READSP

SUMMARY

Reads spectral files written by WRITESP and WRITESPE.

SYNTAX

READSP {AMPH|RLIM|SPE} {filelist}

INPUT

RLIM:Read real and imaginary components.
AMPH:Read amplitude and phase components.
SPE:Read spectral estimation subprocess files. The data is converted from power to amplitude. The phase component is set to zeros.
filelist:A list of SAC binary data files. This list may contain simple filenames, full or relative pathnames, and wildcard characters. See the READ command for a complete description.

DEFAULT VALUES

READSP AMPH

DESCRIPTION

The WRITESP command writes each spectral data component to disk as a separate file. You may then process each component separately. This command lets you reconstruct the spectral data from the two components. See the WRITESP documentation for more details. The SPE option allows you to read in and convert to spectral format, files that were written using the WRITESPE command in the Spectral Estimation Subprocess. This allows you to use commands such as MULOMEGA and DIVOMEGA on these spectral estimates.

Any command which loads data into memory is monitored to maintain a level of confidence in the event infomation when transfered from the SAC data buffer to the CSS data buffer. When READSP is used, the confidence is set to LOW, indicating that SAC should consider any matching event IDs as artifacts and reassign the event ID of the incoming file. For more details, use HELP READ.

EXAMPLES

See the example in the WRITESP documentation.
