Program Failure

July 7th, 2010

Well it seems that SeisDig might not be all I'd hoped for. The sampling rate problem that I mentioned in my previous post is turning out to be a real road block. It's only allowing for the digitized seismograms to have 1 sample/second and a bunch of the seismograms I want to digitize need a much larger sampling rate to fully capture the trace. Unless we only use low frequency seismograms for my project (highly unlikely) it looks like it's time to scrap SeisDig. So I need to continue searching for a program to use to digitize these old seismograms. Unfortunately SeisDig was the only program I found when I first began the internship at the end of May. So unless someone has created a seismogram digitization program since then, I really don't know how to solve this problem. This is very frustrating - especially since the digitization is a small part of my ultimate goal of the internship and was not expected to take this long. But it's difficult to digitize seismograms when a good digitization program does not exist. Back to the drawing board.
