Some English descriptions are also accepted, e.g.
“120s velocity”, “100Hz acceleration”.

To set the sensitivities (or gains) of the sensor
components, include the line

G=vertical­sens,N/S­sens,E/W­sens

These values are given on the sensor calibration sheet. For
velocity sensors, they are given in units of V m

–1

s (V/m/s).

The gain of an accelerometer is expressed in V m

-1

s

2

(V/m/

s

2

). Because Güralp Systems sensors and digitizers use

differential inputs and outputs, the sensitivity is quoted as
2 × (single-ended sensitivity) on the calibration sheet.

To set the coil constants of the sensor components,
include the line

COILCONST=ZCC,NCC,ECC

Where ZCC is the vertical coil constant, NCC is the
North/South coil constant and ECC is the East/West cost
constant. These values are given on the sensor calibration
sheet.

To set the local acceleration due to gravity, include the
line

GRAVITY=acceleration

You should give this value in m s

–2

, if you know it. If you

miss out this line, Scream! will use a standard average
g value of 9.80665 m s

–2

.

2.2.1 Examples

The calibration information for a CMG-3T weak-motion velocity
sensor might look like the following:

[GURALP-CMG3]
Serial-Nos=T3X99

VPC=3.153,3.147,3.159
G=1010,1007,1002
