Operator's Guide
The mini-SEED compressor drop-down menu allows the operator to
select which instance of gdi2miniseed is used as the data source.
The menu will offer all configured instances.
10.2.3 File name escape sequences
Escape sequences are used in the file and directory name fields in the
disk recording configuration page. They all begin with a '%' character
and are used to insert variable data such as the data or stream name
into the file or directory name; each escape sequence is replaced with
the relevant value. Any non-escape sequence characters are copied
verbatim into the name. All numbers are decimal and will have
leading zeroes added to fill the number of digits.
The available escape sequences are:
•
%d
2 digit day of month (01-31)
•
%H
2 digit hour in 24 hour clock (00-23)
•
%j
3 digit Julian day
•
%m
2 digit month (01-12)
•
%M 2 digit minute (00-59)
•
%y
2 digit year i.e. without century digits (00-99)
•
%Y
4 digit year
•
%s
5 char SEED station identifier (spaces are removed
from all SEED Ids)
•
%c
3 char SEED channel identifier
•
%n
2 char SEED network identifier
•
%l
2 char SEED location identifier
If the format string ends in a .extension (without any escape
sequences in the extension) then this extension will be noted and used
in some other locations – e.g. for the top level date directory.
The default format string is %Y%j%H%M%s%c%n%l.mseed
