Rotate components pop-up window

Rotate Components, reached from the Waveform menu, rotates 3 components signals in the active signal viewer around the chosen axes. By clicking on Rotate Components, a pop-up window appears with checkboxes to select the rotation axes and text boxes to provide rotation angles. Rotate components creates new temporary signals in the active viewer.

Common recording axes

All angles are specified in degrees in a counterclockwise direction around the axis (right hand rule). Rotation matrices are multiplied in order Z, N and E, according to the common recording axes of seismological sensors (see figure).
