SeisIO Standard Keywords

SeisIO.KW is a memory-resident structure of default values for common keywords used by package functions. KW has one substructure, SL, with keywords specific to SeedLink. These defaults current cannot be modified, but this may change as the Julia language matures.

KW Default T [1] Meaning
evw [600.0, 600.0] A{F,1} time search window [o-evw[1], o+evw[2]]
fmt “miniseed” S request data format
mag [6.0, 9.9] A{F,1} magnitude range for queries
nd 1 I number of days per subrequest
nev 1 I number of events returned per query
opts “” S user-specified options [2]
pha “P” S seismic phase arrival times to retrieve
rad [] A{F,1} radial search region [3]
reg [] A{F,1} rectangular search region [4]
si true B autofill station info on data req? [5]
to 30 I read timeout for web requests (s)
v 0 I verbosity

Table Footnotes

[1]Types: A = Array, B = Boolean, C = Char, DT = DateTime, F = Float, I = Integer, R = Real, S = String, U8 = Unsigned 8-bit integer
[2]String is passed as-is, e.g. “szsrecs=true&repo=realtime” for FDSN. String should not begin with an ampersand.
[3]Specify region [center_lat, center_lon, min_radius, max_radius, dep_min, dep_max], with lat, lon, and radius in decimal degrees (°) and depth in km with + = down. Depths are only used for earthquake searches.
[4]Specify region [lat_min, lat_max, lon_min, lon_max, dep_min, dep_max], with lat, lon in decimal degrees (°) and depth in km with + = down. Depths are only used for earthquake searches.
[5]Not used with IRISWS.
[6]-v=0 = quiet; 1 = verbose, 2 = debug; 3 = verbose debug
[7]If -w=true, a file name is automatically generated from the request parameters, in addition to parsing data to a SeisData structure. Files are created from the raw download even if data processing fails, in contrast to get_data(… wsac=true).
