    Adding Location Code to Earthworm Messages
    2004/03/05:LDD, updated 2005/03/18:LDD
    ________________________________________________________________________________

    SUMMARY

    Earthworm msg types used by NCSN that will require new versions
    to implement Location code in SCNL:

    Current Msg Type     New Msg Type            Generated by
    ----------------     -------------           ------------
    TYPE_TRACEBUF        TYPE_TRACEBUF2          all data sources

    TYPE_TRACE_COMP_UA   TYPE_TRACE2_COMP_UA     compress_UA

    TYPE_PICK2K          TYPE_PICK_SCNL          pick_ew

    TYPE_CODA2K          TYPE_CODA_SCNL          pick_ew

    TYPE_EVENT2K         TYPE_EVENT_SCNL         eqproc,eqprelim

    TYPE_LPTRIG          TYPE_LPTRIG_SCNL        evanstrig

    Format already contains fields for L, but code must be changed
    to implement it:
    TYPE_HYP2000ARC      TYPE_HYP2000ARC         eqcoda,hyp2000_mgr

    Adding Location code to Trace Data Messages
    -------------------------------------------

    TYPE_TRACEBUF2 & TYPE_TRACE2_COMP_UA

    The new trace data message header will be of the same length as
    the current message header. The location and version fields will
    be carved out of the currently over-sized chan field.  All other
    fields will remain the same length and in the same position in
    the header. This means that the station and network fields will
    still remain over-sized with respect to the SEED field length
    requirements.

    Here's the original and the new trace header, from trace_buf.h:

    /*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*

     *                                                                           *
     * NOTE: The principal time fields in the TRACE_HEADER are:                  *
     *         starttime, nsamp, and samprate.                                   *
     *       The endtime field is included as a redundant convenience.           *

            char    pad[2];                /* padding */
    } TRACE2_HEADER;

    The version field is included to differentiate the TYPE_TRACEBUF2
    message from the TYPE_TRACEBUF when data are stored without the
    context of an Earthworm message logo. This is important for NCSN
    because our continuous archive consists of files of raw trace messages.
    We have to be able to read a trace header and decide whether it
    contains the loc field or not.  The Earthworm tankplayer module has
    the same requirement; it reads a file containing raw trace messages
    and will have to know whether to write them to the ring as
    TYPE_TRACEBUF or TYPE_TRACEBUF2 messages.

    The version field will be filled with 2 ASCII characters (no NULLs):
      TRACE2_VERSION0 = version[0] = main version number
      TRACE2_VERSION1 = version[1] = subversion number

    Adding location code to pick and coda messages. 2004/5/25:LDD
    --------------------------------------------------------------

    + New messages are white-space delimited, and thus are variable length.

    + Pick sequence number range was increased to 0-999999.

    + Pick time is reported to thousandths of a second to support sample rates
      greater than 100sps.  Hypoinverse still has the hundredths of a second
      limitation, but if we ever change locators, we'll be ready for increased
      precision.

    + Pick first motion (1-character) values:
       'U' for Up (compression),
       'D' for Down (dilatation),
       '?' for unknown (previous column-oriented format used ' ' for unknown).

    + Channel identifier is dot-delimited for better human readability.

    + A "blank" location code will be written as "--" (without quotes).

    + C library functions for converting the ascii pick/coda messages into
      structures is available in rdpickcoda.c,h.

    Adding location code to TYPE_EVENT* messages. 2005/3/17:LDD
    ------------------------------------------------------------

    TYPE_EVENT_SCNL

    This message type is used internally between eqproc/eqprelim and eqcoda in
    the Earthworm "mega module" and is never output to an Earthworm ring. The
    previous TYPE_EVENT2K message was column-oriented and the new TYPE_EVENT_SCNL
    message is field-oriented.  The TYPE_EVENT_SCNL message contains an event
    hypocenter line containing information from binder's TYPE_QUAKE messages,
    followed by one line for each associated phase. Each phase line is a
    compilation of information from TYPE_PICK_SCNL, TYPE_CODA_SCNL, and TYPE_LINK
    messages, plus a data source supplied by the producing module.

    Sample TYPE_EVENT_SCNL message:

    Hypocenter Line
    Field  Description
       1   Origin time (yyyymmddhhmmss.ttt)

       9   Eventid from binder
      10   Version for event, supplied by module producing this message.
           If the module produces multiple TYPE_EVENT_SCNL msgs for each Eventid,
           then the version should be incremented.

       8   amplitude of first  peak (digital counts)
       9   amplitude of second peak (digital counts)
      10   amplitude of third  peak (digital counts)
    11-16  six coda 2-sec average absolute amplitudes (digital counts),
           listed in reverse chronological order.
      17   coda duration (seconds)
           Negative duration means that "noisy-trace" coda termination
           method was used by the picker.
      18   Data source - a single character describing the source of the
           pick and coda information.  Examples: 'W' for local earthworm,
           'I' for imported from another institution.

    Adding location code to station trigger messages. 2005/3/17:LDD
    ---------------------------------------------------------------

    TYPE_CARLSTATRIG_SCNL

    This is a field-oriented message produced by carlstatrig. The only change
    from the previous station trigger message is the addition of the location code
    field after the network code. Every time a station triggers, carlstatrig should
    write two TYPE_CARLSTATRIG_SCNL messages, one when the station trigger turns
    on, and another when the station trigger turns off.  Both messages have the
    same format.

    Sample TYPE_CARLSTATRIG_SCNL message:

    JSP EHZ NC 01 1111165293.0000 1111165294.0000 14617 13.87

    Field  Description
       1   Station code
       2   Component code
       3   Network code
       4   Location code
       5   Trigger ON time (sec since 1970)
       6   Trigger OFF time (sec since 1970, 0.0 while trigger is still ON)
       7   serial number for this station trigger (so ON and OFF messages
           can be matched up)
       8   ETA when the station trigger went ON.
           ETA is the triggering parameter computed from STA, LTA and other things.
           A station trigger is ON when ETA > 0.0, OFF when ETA <= 0.0.

    Adding location code to triglist messages. 2005/3/17:LDD
    --------------------------------------------------------

    TYPE_TRIGLIST_SCNL

    Triglist messages are produced by a number of different Earthworm modules
    and the details of how certain fields are filled vary from module to module.
    I'm not going to try to cover all the variations here.

    Here's a sample TYPE_TRIGLIST_SCNL message:

    v2.0 EVENT DETECTED     20050308 20:47:02.71 UTC EVENT ID: 69000541 AUTHOR: 014024003:033052003

    Here are the differences between the previous triglist message and
    the new TYPE_TRIGLIST_SCNL:
    1. added version field to the beginning of the EVENT line
       Version is set to "v2.0" for the TYPE_TRIGLIST_SCNL message.
    2. added location code field (just after the network code field) on the
       station line. This field can contain the actual channel location code,
       or "*" for wildcard.

    Library functions for parsing the TYPE_TRIGLIST_SCNL message are contained in
    parse_trig.c,h. These functions have been modified to recognize only
    TYPE_TRIGLIST_SCNL messages!

    These messages are produced by evanstrig and consumed by evansassoc.
    I don't know of any other modules that use them.

    Adding location code to hypoinverse archive messages. 2005/3/18:LDD
    -------------------------------------------------------------------

    The hypoinverse archive format already includes a field for location code.
    See details of the "station archive format" in Fred Klein's documentation:

    ftp://ehzftp.wr.usgs.gov/klein/docs/shadow2000.pdf
    ftp://ehzftp.wr.usgs.gov/klein/hyp2000/docs/hyp2000-1.0.pdf

    Modules which produce and consume TYPE_HYP2000ARC messages have been modified
    to fill and read the location code field.
