Digitization Underway

June 23rd, 2010

Well it looks like the ultimate goal for the summer is in sight. I got the digitization program to work with one of the old, cleaned, scanned in Harvard seismograms! This sounds like a small feat but truly it is a success. The digitization program is really neat too. It traces the scans fairly well with some minor/major occasional corrections. AND.... it saves the digitized seismograms as .SAC files! The only thing I'm having trouble with now is tweaking the sampling rate to see what would work best as well as getting SAC to break up each digitized seismogram into frames and not squishing all 8500 seconds of trace into one frame ... that just makes it look like a stripped mess. But once that's fixed I'm well on my way to getting a bunch digitized, followed by an attempt to analyze them.
