Specializing in seismograph calibration

Know what your seismic instruments are really telling you.

OSOP makes tools for checking sensor gain, estimating instrument response, serving waveforms (OWS), and moving event data between SEISAN and SeisComP.

Hardware

OSOP Calibration Table

A portable, people-powered step table for verifying the gain of seismometers and accelerometers, in the field, the vault or the lab. Designed after Erhard Wielandt's calibration table, it has no motor and needs no power supply. It checks the entire instrumentation chain.

Tabletop
248 × 248 mm (est.)
Weight

Warranty
1 year

Includes: calibration table with horizontal extension bridge, transport box, and osopcal software for determining gain from your calibration runs.

Works with broadband and short-period sensors, including Streckeisen STS-2, Streckeisen STS-2.5, Nanometrics Trillium Compact, Nanometrics Trillium 120, Metrozet, Reftek 151, Lennartz LE-3Dlite, Güralp CMG-3 and many others.

Software

respGen

Determine an unknown instrument's response by recording it beside a known reference sensor. respGen compares the two waveforms, computes a robust transfer function, fits poles and zeros, and writes a standard IRIS RESP file.

Software

seisan2sc and sc2seisan

This is your data bridge between SeisComP and SEISAN.

Keep SEISAN and SeisComP working together. Both tools are SeisComP compatible.

  • seisan2sc imports SEISAN S-files into the SeisComP database. Batch mode can also bring legacy WAV files into your SDS archive.
  • sc2seisan translates SeisComP events into SEISAN S-files.

Software

OSOP Wave Server (OWS)

This is your data bridge between SeisComP and Earthworm/Swarm.

Serve live and archived waveforms from one endpoint. OWS merges real-time data from a SeedLink server with historical data from an SDS miniSEED archive (SeisComP), and serves both over the Winston Wave Server protocol.

  • OWS makes it possible to connect Swarm directly to SeisComP and view real-time data (from SeedLink) and archived data in the SDS.
  • Works with Swarm helicorders and waveform views, Earthworm's getmenu, and ObsPy's Earthworm client.
  • For Earthworm users, OWS is a drop-in replacement for the Winston Wave Server (WWS).
