scesv

Event summary view

Description

scesv is the summary display of the event parameters. It shows the primary information about the current event including location, time, strength, type and processing status. Additional to the current event older events can also be chosen from the eventlist in the events tab.

The two tabs of scesv are shown in Eventlist tab and Summary tab. The Events tab shows the eventlist of the time span defined on the bottom side of the window. A the Events tab is also available for other GUIs, such as scolv it can be configured in the global module configuration. The description of the Events tab in scolv provides more details.

Eventlist tab

Tab1-2: Summary/Events tab, EventList: list of the last events with summarized information, List options: Show fake events, Reading 1: spinbox to limit timespan of displayed events (in days), Reading 2: spinboxes to limit timespan of displayed events (specified dates), Status: connection status

The actual (default) or selected event (from eventlist) is shown in the (Summary tab). Here the information are highlighted in four sections:

section	description
Time	orign time in UTC and relative to now
Region	a map of the region and location with the event and stations
Magnitude	different magnitude types, the values and counts
Hypocenter	origin information with location, depth, azimuthal gap etc.

Summary tab

Tab1-2: Summary/Events tab, Origin Time: origin time in UTC and relative to now, Map: map with region and location and stations, Magnitude: different magnitude types with values and counts, Origin Info: hypocenter information with position, phase count and azimuthal gap, Event: earthquake location, Station: station with ray-path, Details: “Show Details” button to open detailed information in scolv, Event Type: event type combo box to set event type, Status: connection status

loadEventDB

Type: double

Unit: days

Number of days to preload if scesv is started. Default is 1.

showLastAutomaticSolution

Type: boolean

If enabled, the last automatic solution is displayed next to the current solution in the summary panel. If the last automatic solution differs from the current solution it is displayed in red. If both solutions match it is displayed in gray. Default is false.

showOnlyMostRecentEvent

Type: boolean

If enabled only the most recent event is shown even if an update of an older event is being received. Default is true.

recenterMap

Type: boolean

If enabled, the map is centered around the most recent event event. Default is true.

enableFixAutomaticSolutions

Type: boolean

If enabled, an additional button is displayed which allows to switch back the latest automatic solution. This button triggers an command for scevent to prioritize automatic solutions until the next manual solution is available. Default is false.

visibleMagnitudes

Type: list:string

A list of magnitude types to be displayed. Default is M,MLv,mb,mB,Mw(mB).

scripts.script0

Type: string

Path to a script if button0 is clicked.

scripts.script1

Type: string

Path to a script if button1 is clicked.

scripts.script0.exportMap

Type: boolean

If enabled, the current map is exported to file. The filename is appened to the parameter list of script0. The script has to take ownership of the file. Default is false.

scripts.script0.oldStyle

Type: boolean

If enabled, the parameter list of script0 is eventID, arrivalCount, magnitude, description.

If disabled, the parameter list of script0 is eventID, preferredOriginID, preferredMagnitudeID, preferredFocalMechanismID. Default is true.

scripts.script1.exportMap

Type: boolean

If enabled, the current map is exported to file. The filename is appened to the parameter list of script1. The script has to take ownership of the file. Default is false.

scripts.script1.oldStyle

Type: boolean

If enabled, the parameter list of script1 is eventID, arrivalCount, magnitude, description.

If disabled, the parameter list of script1 is eventID, preferredOriginID, preferredMagnitudeID, preferredFocalMechanismID. Default is true.

Command-line

scesv [options]

Generic

-h, --help

show help message.

-V, --version
