number (as given by the first four characters of the Stream ID)
for the digitizer which produces the data stream.

For example: to add calibration information for a digitizer with
System ID GURALP outputting streams DEMOZ2, DEMON2,
DEMOE2, etc., you would add a section beginning with the line

[GURALP­DEMO]

If you move an instrument from one digitizer to another, you
will need to update the calvals.txt file to reflect the change.

To set the serial number of the instrument, include the
line

Serial­Nos=serial­number

Scream! cannot tell what instrument is connected to the
digitizer. This line is provided to help you remember
which set of calibration values you have used, and to
provide a title for calibration graphs. If you attach a
different instrument to the same digitizer, you will need
to enter new calibration values to reflect the new
instrument.

To set the sensitivity of the digitizer, include the line

VPC=sensitivity

VPC stands for voltage per count, measured in units of
μV/count. This is sometimes given as μV/Bit on the digitizer
calibration sheet.

To set the sensitivity of the calibration channel, include
the line

CALVPC=sensitivity

as for the other digitizer channels.

To set the value of the calibration resistor, include the
line

CALRES=resistance

Güralp Systems digitizers normally use a 51 kΩ resistor
(CALRES=51000).

To set the sensor type, include the line
