CMG-3ESPCD Digital Broadband Seismometer

Command line interface

tap 4 will output all four components ( 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 = 15).

To set triggered output streams, you should use the TRIGGERED command

detailed below.

Triggering

This section describes the commands which affect triggering.

6.4.1 TRIGGERS

Syntax: components TRIGGERS

Selects which component or components can generate a trigger. Only these

components will be examined by the triggering algorithm.

The argument components is an integer below 16, whose binary bits

represent the Z (1), N (2), E (4) and auxiliary (8) components respectively as
described above. Issuing 0 TRIGGERS will disable the triggering system.

6.4.2 TRIGGERED

Syntax: tap components TRIGGERED

Selects which component or components will be output when a trigger is
generated, and at which tap (sample rate).

The argument tap is the tap number at which to output the triggered stream.
You can set which taps output which sample rate using the SAMPLES/SEC

command, described above.

The argument components is an integer below 16, which represents which

components to output in the same fashion as in the CONTINUOUS command,
above.

(This command and the previous one have similar names; remember that a
component TRIGGERS the system, whilst taps and components are

TRIGGERED.)

6.4.3 STA

Syntax: Z­secs N­secs E­secs X­secs STA

Sets the length of the “short-term” averaging period in the STA/LTA triggering

algorithm.

The arguments Z­secs, N­secs, E­secs and X­secs are the time period

over which to calculate the average for the Z, N, E, and auxiliary components
respectively. If a component is not considered by the triggering algorithm (see
TRIGGERS, above), the value you specify here will be ignored. For example,
