Quickstart Guide to SOD

This is a quick guide to getting an initial run of SOD. More details are in the full documentation for install, run, etc.

SOD is written in Java, and so you must have Java version 1.4 or better installed in order to use SOD. Java can be downloaded for Windows and Solaris at http://java.sun.com/j2se.

for Unix

  1. download SOD-2.0.tar
  2. tar xf sod-2.0.tar
  3. cd sod-2.0
  4. bin/sod.sh -f examples/tutorial.xml

for Windows

  1. download SOD
  2. unzip sod-2.0.zip
  3. cd sod-2.0
  4. bin\sod.bat -f examples\tutorial.xml

At this point SOD should begin running, and soon after begin downloading data from the DMC in Seattle. The output should look like this:

[roo:sod-2.0] crotwell$ bin/sod.sh -f examples/tutorial.xml

The status directory will contain html files, which will be updated about every 2 minutes or so, showing the events, stations, and seismograms that have been found. The POND_II directory will contain subdirectories for each earthquake retrieved by SOD. Each of these subdirectories will contain SAC files corresponding to that earthquake, along with dsml files that are readable by GEE.
