NAME

OCTAVE traplt.m - Display selected time domain signal, frequency domain amplitude and phase

SYNOPSIS

traplt prompts for:

BSEGY file name (*.seg) (shell terminal input)
Tmax, maximum time to display (GUI entry box, default max available)
Trace number to select in file (GUI entry box, default max available)
Time zero for phase reference (mouse click on plot)
Maximum frequency for plots (GUI entry box, default Nyquist)

DESCRIPTION

Basic Seismic Utilities (BSU) program run in Octave or Matlab. Within an octave session, type traplt and then on prompt, enter the bsegy format file name (example: 1001.seg). Traplt then reads the file and presents a GUI with entry boxes for maximum time and trace number to select from the file. Traplt only works with one trace out of a possible more than one in a file. The GUI shows the maximum values as defaults, and these can be changed. Click OK and then a prompt message alerts the user that the mouse will be required to click on the upcoming plot for a time which serves as a reference point for the phase. The next next GUI entry box is for the maximum frquency to plot. The default is the Nyquist frequency. A good choice might be a bit lower, like 200 Hz for most engineering seismograph sources. The second figure will show the amplitude spectrum and an unwrapped phase spectrum. This is the OCTAVE/MATLAB version of the Fortran program.

OUTPUT

Figure 1 time domain plot of selected signal
Figure 2 frequency domain plot, amplitude and unwrapped phase (radians)
