CMG-6TD

Command-line interface

Z­secs, N­secs, and E­secs are the time periods over which to calculate

the average for the Z, N, and E 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, 15 20 20 LTA will calculate long-term averages for 15 seconds

for the Z component, and for 20 seconds for each of the horizontal

components.

7.5.5 RATIOS

Syntax: Z­ratio Z­ratio Z­ratio RATIOS

Sets the ratio of STA to LTA above which a trigger will be declared in the
STA/LTA triggering algorithm.

Z­ratio, Z­ratio, and Z­ratio are the time period over which to calculate

the average for the Z, N, and E 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, 4 10 10 RATIOS will cause the 6TD to trigger if the STA/LTA

ratio is above 4 for the Z component, or above 10 for the horizontal

components.

7.5.6 BANDPASS

Syntax: tap filter BANDPASS

The 6TD passes the stream(s) which generate STA/LTA triggers through a
band-pass filter before examining them. The corner frequency of the

band-pass filter can be changed with the BANDPASS command.

The parameter filter takes an integer argument which must be 1, 2 or 5,

where:

filter = 1 creates a filter with a corner at 10 % of the Nyquist

frequency for tap tap (i.e. 5 % of its sample rate)

filter = 2 creates a filter with a corner at 20 % of the Nyquist

frequency for tap tap (i.e. 15 % of its sample rate)

filter = 5 creates a filter with a corner at 50 % of the Nyquist

frequency for tap tap (i.e. 25 % of its sample rate)

7.5.7 PRE­TRIG

Syntax: time PRE­TRIG

Sets the pre-trigger recording time. time is the number of seconds of data to

output from before a trigger is declared.
