CMG-3ESPCD Digital Broadband Seismometer

Command line interface

The AZIMUTH command only alters the digitiser's CMOS settings. You will
need to re-boot the digitiser to transfer them to the DSP.

6.2.6 CROSS

Syntax: channel CROSS

Alters the DSP's transformation matrix to invert one of the digitiser channels.

The argument channel is one of 0 (vertical), 1 (N/S), 2 (E/W) and 3

(auxiliary).

The CROSS command only alters the digitiser's CMOS settings. You will

need to re-boot the digitiser to transfer them to the DSP. If you need to set
both AZIMUTH and CROSS, you must issue AZIMUTH first, since it overwrites

the matrix.

Output configuration

The commands in this section control the serial data output.

6.3.1 SAMPLES/SEC

Syntax: tap­0 tap­1 tap­2 tap­3 samples/sec

The DSP software on the digitiser supports up to 7 cascaded filter/decimation

stages. At each stage, the sample rate can be decimated by a factor of 2, 4 or 5.
The fixed decimation stages output data at 2,000 samples/sec, so decimated

data streams are available from 1,000, 500 and 400 samples/sec down to 1
sample/sec.

You can specify the sample rate to use at four of these stages, known as taps.
You can also take output from any of these four stages. The digitiser will

arrange the remaining stages according to your settings.

The arguments tap­0 to tap­3 are the sample rates at each tap in turn,

starting with the highest. You must ensure that each rate is lower than the
previous one by a factor of 2, 4, 5, 8 (= 2 then 4), 10 (= 2 then 5) or 16 (= 4

then 4). Non-integer values are not allowed. The following four examples are
all valid settings:

1000 125

1000 500

As long as you specify the initial taps, you can omit later ones. The command
fills in the value of the missing taps, using a decimation factor of 2 where

possible. Thus, the following commands are equivalent:
