obspy.io.sac.sactrace.SACTrace.to_obspy_trace

SACTrace.to_obspy_trace(debug_headers=False, encoding='ASCII', round_sampling_interval=True)[source]

Return an ObsPy Trace instance.

Required headers: nz-time fields, npts, delta, calib, kcmpnm, kstnm, …?

Parameters:

  • debug_headers (bool) – Include _all_ SAC headers into the Trace.stats.sac dictionary.

  • encoding (str) – Encoding string that passes the user specified encoding scheme.

  • round_sampling_interval (bool) – Whether to round sampling interval to microseconds before calculating sampling rate to avoid floating point accuracy issues with some SAC files (see #3408)

Example

>>> from obspy.core.util import get_example_file
>>> file_ = get_example_file("test.sac")
>>> sac = SACTrace.read(file_, headonly=True)
>>> tr = sac.to_obspy_trace()
>>> print(tr)
