Options:

--config NAME

File containing jackseis.Converter settings.

--dump-config

Print configuration file snippet representing given command line arguments to standard output and exit. Only command line options affecting the conversion are included in the dump. Additional --config settings, data collection and data query options are ignored.

--force

Force overwriting of existing files.

--tinc SECONDS

Set time length of output files [s].

--downsample RATE

Downsample to RATE [Hz].

--quantity QUANTITY

Restitute waveforms to selected QUANTITY. Restitution is performed by multiplying the waveform spectra with a tapered inverse of the instrument response transfer function. The frequency band of the taper can be adjusted using the --band option. Choices: acceleration, velocity, displacement, pressure, rotation-displacement, rotation-velocity, rotation-acceleration, temperature, voltage, counts.

--band FMIN,FMAX or FMIN,FMAX,CUTFACTOR or FMINCUT,FMIN,FMAX,FMAXCUT

Frequency band used in restitution (see --quantity) or for (acausal) filtering. Waveform spectra are multiplied with a taper with cosine-shaped flanks and which is flat between FMIN and FMAX. The flanks of the taper drop to zero at FMINCUT and FMAXCUT. If CUTFACTOR is given, FMINCUT and FMAXCUT are set to FMIN/CUTFACTOR and FMAX*CUTFACTOR respectively. CUTFACTOR defaults to 2.

--out-path TEMPLATE

Set output path to TEMPLATE. Available placeholders are %n: network, %s: station, %l: location, %c: channel, %b: begin time, %e: end time, %j: julian day of year. The following additional placeholders use the current processing window’s begin and end times rather than trace begin and end times (to suppress producing many small files for gappy traces), %(wmin_year)s, %(wmin_month)s, %(wmin_day)s, %(wmin)s, %(wmin_jday)s, %(wmax_year)s, %(wmax_month)s, %(wmax_day)s, %(wmax)s, %(wmax_jday)s. Example: --out-path 'data/%s/trace-%s-%c.mseed'

--out-sds-path PATH

Set output path to create an SDS archive (https://www.seiscomp.de/seiscomp3/doc/applications/slarchive/SDS.html), rooted at PATH. Implies --tinc 86400. Example: --out-sds-path data/sds

--out-format FORMAT

Set output file format. Choices: mseed [default], sac, text, yaff, gse2

--out-data-type DTYPE

Set numerical data type. Choices: int32, int64, float32, float64. The output file format must support the given type. By default, the data type is kept unchanged.

--out-mseed-record-length INT

Set the Mini-SEED record length in bytes. Choices: 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768, 65536, 131072, 262144, 524288. Default is 4096 bytes, which is commonly used for archiving.

--out-mseed-steim INT

Set the Mini-SEED STEIM compression. Choices: 1 or 2. Default is STEIM-2. Note: STEIM-2 is limited to 30 bit dynamic range.

--out-meta-path PATH

Set output path for station metadata (StationXML) export.

--traversal GROUPING

By default the outermost processing loop is over time. Add outer loop with given GROUPING. Choices: network, station, channel, sensor

--rename-network REPLACEMENT

Replace network code. REPLACEMENT can be a string for direct replacement, a mapping for selective replacement, or a regular expression for tricky replacements. Examples: Direct replacement: XX - set all network codes to XX. Mapping: AA:XX,BB:YY - replace AA with XX and BB with YY. Regular expression: /A(\d)/X\1/ - replace A1 with X1 and A2 with X2 etc.

--rename-station REPLACEMENT

Replace station code. See --rename-network.

--rename-location REPLACEMENT

Replace location code. See --rename-network.

--rename-channel REPLACEMENT

Replace channel code. See --rename-network.

--rename-extra REPLACEMENT

Replace extra code. See --rename-network. Note: the extra code is not available in Mini-SEED.

General options:

--help, -h

Show this help message and exit.

--loglevel LEVEL

Set logger level. Choices: critical, error, warning, info, debug. Default: info.

--progress DEST

Set how progress status is reported. Choices: terminal, log, off. Default: terminal.

Data collection options:

--add PATH [PATH ...], -a PATH [PATH ...]

Add files and directories with waveforms, metadata and events. Content is indexed and added to the temporary (default) or persistent (see --persistent) data selection.

--include REGEX

Only include files whose paths match the regular expression REGEX. Examples: --include='\.MSEED$' would only match files ending with .MSEED. --include='\.BH[EN]\.' would match paths containing .BHE. or .BHN.. --include='/2011/' would match paths with a subdirectory 2011 in their path hierarchy.

--exclude REGEX

Only include files whose paths do not match the regular expression REGEX. Examples: --exclude='/\.DS_Store/' would exclude anything inside any .DS_Store subdirectory.

--optimistic, -o

Disable checking file modification times for faster startup.

--format FORMAT, -f FORMAT

Assume input files are of given FORMAT. Choices: datacube, mseed, pyrocko_events, pyrocko_stations, sac, stationxml, tdms_idas, virtual, yaml. Default: detect.

--add-only KINDS

Restrict meta-data scanning to given content kinds. KINDS is a comma-separated list of content kinds. Choices: waveform, station, channel, response, event, waveform_promise. By default, all content kinds are indexed.

--persistent NAME, -p NAME

Create/use persistent selection with given NAME. Persistent selections can be used to speed up startup of Squirrel-based applications.

--dataset FILE, -d FILE

Add files, directories and remote sources from dataset description file. This option can be repeated to add multiple datasets. Run squirrel template to obtain examples of dataset description files.

Data query options:

--kinds KINDS

Content kinds to query. KINDS is a comma-separated list of content kinds. Choices: waveform, station, channel, response, event, waveform_promise. By default, all content kinds are queried.

--codes CODES

Code patterns to query (STA, NET.STA, NET.STA.LOC, NET.STA.LOC.CHA, or NET.STA.LOC.CHA.EXTRA). The pattern may contain wildcards * (zero or more arbitrary characters), ? (single arbitrary character), and [CHARS] (any character out of CHARS). Multiple patterns can be given by separating them with commas.

--tmin TIME

Begin of time interval to query. Format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.FFF, truncation allowed.

--tmax TIME

End of time interval to query. Format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.FFF, truncation allowed.
