when rdseed fails to extract QC’d data

posted 2007.01.01

Sometimes rdseed doesn’t extract all the data from a SEED file. (Perhaps due to garbled quality codes in the SEED file?) I’ve seen this happen when trying to extract QC’d data — either interactively or when using the -Q Q option.

Fix: Extract all the data from the SEED file and then simply delete the SAC files you don’t want (e.g., /bin/rm *R.SAC).
