DESCRIPTION

pr_origin puts a hypocenter, as defined in the parameter file, into a db/origin packet in an orb. An orbserver is required to issue evids and orids. This can be coupled with another program such as orb2dbt, to write the origin to a database, or orb_quake_alarm, to issue a press-release for a significant event.

OPTIONS

PARAMETER FILE

The pr_origin parameter file contains the hypocentral parameters that define a row in a css3.0 origin table. The following is an example of a pr_origin parameter file.

lat             51.61
lon             -116.36
depth           50
time  &Literal{
                2010-07-06 00:01
               }                     # UT origin time of hypocenter.
mag             44.4
mag_type        Ms                   # ml,mb,Ms - all other mag types default to ml
auth            GSC                  # Reporting agency (author).
review          y                    # Reviewed soln = y, automatic soln = auto


pr_origin parameter file elements are:

EXAMPLES

$ pr_origin -v :55551 :2500

BUGS AND CAVEATS

At this time, only /db/origin packet types are supported, due to interface with orb_quake_alarm which only reads /db/origin packets. Future developments include /pf packet format and possible incorporation of other magnitude types into netmag.
