Description:

VASE is a Java-based client application designed for viewing and extracting seismic waveforms from the DHI waveform repositories.

New to VASE v2.9

  • Much improved plotting of waveform data. This is the major change with this release.
  • Downloads are now managed in segments. This allows for larger downloads without
    running out of memory.
  • Zoom screen:
    You can enlarge the waveform as displayed or define a small segment and zoom only that portion.
  • Initial program banner. Vase displays an initial banner screen while loading the servers. This offers user feedback that the program is working while it waits for the servers to load.

    CDSN, SRO, ASRO, RSTN, DWWSSN, GEOSCOPE, floating point
  • Requires Java 1.6
