Tresponse is a Windows program that creates an instrument response file for Trident digitizer connected to any seismometer. The instrument response file, named seed.rsp, is then used as input to Nanometrics Inc Makeseed program for creation of standard Seed files which contain the full instrument response. Tresponse will read seismometer data from a file named instruments.txt (if this file exists in current directory) and takes Trident configuration information from user to create the seed.rsp file. Alternatively, both seismometer and Trident digitizer data can be piped to the program from a single file. Or, all required information can be typed-in as input to the program.
Obtain Tresponse.exe program and full instructions from Polaris website (members password required) or Nanometrics Inc and then use Method One, Two or Three, below to run the program and create seed.rsp.

Response file
*************
A response file is built from a number of stages listed as above. At
the moment there is no response record, but there may be in the
future. Stage is a sparse record since only the fields needed are
used. The field usage changes in some fields according to the NMX
stage type 0 thru 8. The mapping from NMX to SEED is as above.
Each stage consists of (nominally) 32 lines (0..31)
Line[0] must start with ( and is for comment
Additional lines following line 0 and starting with ( are also comment
lines[1..30] are normal items (see example table)
line[31] holds the first coefficient
During reading this file, all characters on each line between newline
and colon are ignored. A conversion error results if the actual type
does not match the expected type. The exception is the line with
coefficients.
The first coefficient is on line 31, thereafter, numbers are read
until the numerator and denominator coefficient counts are
satisfied, with all the numerator coefficients first. Coefficients
are separated by space, newline, comma or tab. Numbers are
characters from the set 0..9+-.Ee. There can be one or more
coefficients on line 31, or for example, each coefficient could be
separated from the next by newline.
After the last coefficient, the next line is expected to be the
comment line starting with ( of the next stage.
Notes on each field in NMX Stage record
***************************************
ulRespKey
Response filename should be anystring..res
szDescription
Typically type of overall response. Only needed in stage[0].
rtmStartDate;
rtmEndDate;
Start and end date of response. If both equal, the end date is infinity,
meaning the response is current.
rtmLoadDate;
pszDBComment
Ignored, but may be used in the future
usNumStages
Read from stage[0]. Used to check that expect number of stages are
present.
usStageNum
Stage number. Some utilities may ignore this, so it is important to list
stages in chronological order anyways.
ulStageKey
Assigned by MakeSEED
usSeedBlockette
Critical parameter. Tells MakeSEED kind of blockette to make.
szName (26)
Description of stage, e.g. seismometer type, filter type, etc
chSeedType
This field is used to tell MAKESEED which type of SEED primary
blockette to make from this stage. MAKESEED may also make a second
or secondary blockette from the stage information. See elsewhere
for details.
szInputUnits (21)
szOutputUnits (21)
Used to build SEED Units Abbreviations Blockette 34
rNormFactor
rNormFreq
Used to set corresponding fields in blockette 43. Since optional,
values of 1.0 are used for now.
rInSamSec
If rInSamSec is non-zero, causes blockette 48 to be built from this info.
usDecimation
usDecimationOffset
Used to determine decimiation, as well as offset caused by decimation.
rDelayEstimate
Optional field in SEED. Not used for now.
rDelayApplied
Corrective delay applied to samples after filtering. This allows for non-causal filters.
rGainOrSensitivity
rGainFreq
If rGainOrSensitivity is non-zero, causes blockette 47 to be built
from this info.
rFrequency
Not used
usType
This field is used by PMResponse to set type of response. Note that
this field allows several types which are not supported by SEED.
szDesign (21)
A place to put how (for example) the FIR coefficients were derived.
Ignored.
usNumTerms
usDenTerms
Number of each type of coefficients in coefficient field below.
rtmLoadDate
Ignored. Slot for date put in database.
pszDBComment
Ignored. Slot for comment to put in database.
Coefficients
All the numerators first.
