| + | [[Image: View stations all.png|thumb|'right|300px|''Number of windows'' section]]In the '''Number of windows'' section, underneath the [[Geopsy: H/V and Spectrum Toolboxes: Time Tab: Time windows|Time windows]] tabs, a pop-up menu and a numerical display are used to show the number of selected windows. |
| − | [[Image: HV_SPEC_toolb_time_time_general_popup.png|thumb|left|''Window length'' pop-up menu]] | + | When '''all stations''' is displayed in the pop-up menu, the number of windows in the numerical display is the total number of windows selected over all the stations. It is also displayed when a single station is processed. |
| | <br style="clear: both"/> | | <br style="clear: both"/> |
| | | | |
| − | * '''Exactly''': all selected windows will have the same exact duration.
| |
| − | Choose ''Exactly'' in the ''Length'' pop-up menu and enter the window length (in seconds) in the spin box to the right of the pop-up menu.

| − | Choose ''At least'' in the ''Length'' pop-up menu and enter the window lengths (in seconds) in the two spin boxes to the right of the pop-up menu.

| | | | |
| − | All windows which duration is comprised between these two values will be selected, thus possibly resulting in windows with different sizes.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This may be useful so as to keep the most possible windows of very perturbated signal.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==== Window Overlaping ====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It is possible for succesive windows to be contiguous or to overlap, with the ''Overlap'' box and spin box.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * When the ''Overlap'' box is not checked, contiguous selected signal windows will not overlap.

| |
| − | ==== Bad Sample Definition and Use ====
| |
| − | The "bad sample" concept has been introduced for two purposes:
| |
| − | * eliminate clipped parts of recordings (which imply spectrum distorsions)
| |
| − | * introduce some "tolerance" on the sometimes too severe window selection criteria
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A "bad sample" is therefore
| |
| − | * either a sample; with too high an amplitude (above a given threshold)
| |
| − | * or a sample which falls outside the specified [[Geopsy: STA/LTA|STA/LTA]] range.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Image: Time-time_Bad_sample.png|300px]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * '''Bad Sample Threshold box'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This box allows to define the amplitude level above which a sample is considered as bad, and should be rejected when looking for usable windows.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To do so, check the ''Bad sample threshold'' box and enter the desired threshold in the spin box. The threshold is defined in terms of percentage of the maximum amplitude observed over the entire signal. (Thus, setting a 99% threshold will automatically eliminate all clipped parts of the recording)
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * '''Bad Sample Tolerance box'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A maximum number of bad samples may be accepted (tolerated) inside windows during the selection process.
| |
| − | Check the ''Bad sample tolerance'' button, and enter the maximum cumulative time (in seconds) reached by all the bad sample that is accepted in selected windows.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Warning :''' ''It is recommended to use this option with care, and only whe the plain application of default values lead to a very small number of automatically selected windows''.

| |
| − | ==== Anti-triggering alternatives and criteria for window selection ====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The goal of the anti-triggering is to keep the most stationary parts of ambient vibrations, and to avoid the transients. User's defined "bad samples" - if any - are also considered as to be avoided.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Two types of anti-triggers may be applied to he signal, both based on [[Geopsy: STA/LTA|STA/LTA]] detection.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Image: Time-time_antitriggering.png|300px]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * '''Anti-triggering on raw signal'''
| |
| − | When the ''Anti-triggering on raw signal'' box is checked, the anti-trigger is applied sample per sample all along the entire signal, using the [[Geopsy: STA/LTA|STA/LTA]] parameters entered in the ''Raw signal'' sub-tab.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * '''Anti-triggering on filtered signal'''
| |
| − | When the ''Anti-triggering on filtered signal'' box is checked, the signal is first filtered using the parameters entered in the ''Filter'' sub-tab, and then the anti-trigger is applied sample per sample all along the entire signal, using the [[Geopsy: STA/LTA|STA/LTA]] parameters entered in the ''Filtered signal'' sub-tab.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | All box checking combinations are possible, including both boxes unchecked or checked. In the latter case only samples that fullfill the criteria of both antitriggers are considered as part of a "quadi-stationary" signal. When none are checked no anti-trigger is apllied in the window selection.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It is thus possible to select windows based only on the ''Bad Sample'' criteria, or even no criteria.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''IMPORTANT NOTICE:''' when using the anti-triggering on the filtered signal, the signal is filtered ONLY for the window selection process.
| |
| − | The later processing (FFT, HoverV, etc...) is then performed on the original RAW signal.
| |
| − | In order to process filtered signal the raw signal should first be filtered with the [[Geopsy: Filter|''Filter'']] in the [[Geopsy: Waveform_Menu|''Waveform'']] menu.

| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * ''Update'' box: should be checked when using geopsy for real time data acquisition. Checking the box when no data flow is entering as no effect on the processing.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * ''Common'' box: check this box to force selecting the same windows on all signal tracks, i.e. [[Geopsy: STA/LTA|STA/LTA]] threshold must be verified simultaneously on all tracks in order to keep a window. When the box is unchecked, [[Geopsy: STA/LTA|STA/LTA]] threshold must be verified on each track taken separately. There is no need to check this box in H/V processing, as in this case it is automatically applied.
