**Convert SeismicHandler event files to SCML.**


Description
===========

sh2proc converts `Seismic Handler <http://www.seismic-handler.org/>`_ event data to
SeisComP XML format. Data is read from input file or `stdin` if no input file is
specified.  The result is available on `stdout`.

Code mapping
============

Since Seismic Handler only specifies station and component codes, a mapping to
SeisComP network, location and channel codes is necessary. The script assumes
that the same station code is not used in different networks. In case an
ambiguous id is found a warning is printed and the first network code is used.
The channel and stream code is extracted from the dectecStream and detecLocid
configured in the global bindings. In case no configuration module is available
the first location and stream is used.

Event parameters
================

* Event types given in Seismic Handler files are mapped to SeisComP event types:

  .. csv-table::
     :header: "Seismic Handler", "SeisComP"

     "teleseismic quake","earthquake"
     "regional quake","earthquake"
     "local quake","earthquake"
     "quarry blast","quarry blast"
     "nuclear explosion","nuclear explosion"
     "mining event","mining explosion"

* The EventID given in Seismic Handler files is mapped as a comment to the event.

Magnitudes
==========

* Magnitude types given in Seismic Handler files are mapped to SeisComP magnitudes:

  .. csv-table::
     :header: "Seismic Handler", "SeisComP"

     "m","M"
     "ml","ML"
     "mb","mb"
     "ms","Ms(BB)"
     "mw","Mw"
     "bb","mB"

* ML magnitudes in Seismic Handler files have no corresponding measured amplitudes.
  Therefore the ML station magnitudes are converted without referencing the amplitude.

* Seismic Handler uses the phase name "L" for referring to surface waves without
  further specification. The phase name is kept unchanged.

Distance calculations
=====================

In Seismic Handler files distances can be given in units of km or degree but in
SeisComP only degree is used. Both representations are considered for conversion.
In case of double posting preference is given to the Seismic Handler values given in km
due to their higher precision.

Beam parameters
===============

Seismic Handler files provide the phase picks with theoretical, measured and corrected
slowness and (back) azimuth but the pick in SeisComP knows only one value.
During conversion highest preference is given to corrected values.
The theoretical values are ignored.

Limitations
===========

The following parameters from Seismic Handler files are not considered:

* Phase Flag
* Location Input Params
* Reference Location Name
* Quality Number
* Ampl&Period Source
* Location Quality
* Reference Latitude
* Reference Longitude
* Amplitude Time

Further processing in SeisComP
===============================

The created XML files can be used in multiple ways, e.g.:

#. By other modules in an XML-base playback
#. Inject into the messaging system by :ref:`scdispatch`
#. Integrate into the database by :ref:`scdb`

Examples
========

#. Convert the Seismic Handler file `shm.evt` and writes SC3ML into the file
   `sc3.xml`. The database connection to read inventory and configuration
   information is fetched from the default messaging connection.

   .. code-block:: sh

      sh2proc shm.evt > sc3.xml

#. Read Seismic Handler data from `stdin`. Inventory and configuration information
   is provided through files.

   .. code-block:: sh

      cat shm.evt | sh2proc --inventory-db=inventory.xml --config-db=config.xml > sc3.xml

shm.evt file format
===================

The list of parameters supported by sh2proc may be incomplete.
Read the original `format and parameter description <http://www.seismic-handler.org/wiki/ShmDocFileEvt>`_
of the SeismicHandler .evt files for providing correct input files.

Example of a SeismicHandler `shm.evt` file with supported parameters:

   link of the application or copy it. Example:
   scautopick \-> scautopick2.

.. option:: --plugins arg

.. option:: -D, --daemon

   Run as daemon. This means the application will fork itself
   and doesn't need to be started with \&.

.. option:: --auto-shutdown arg

   Enable\/disable self\-shutdown because a master module shutdown.
   This only works when messaging is enabled and the master
   module sends a shutdown message \(enabled with \-\-start\-stop\-msg
   for the master module\).

.. option:: --shutdown-master-module arg

   Set the name of the master\-module used for auto\-shutdown.
   This is the application name of the module actually
   started. If symlinks are used, then it is the name of
   the symlinked application.

.. option:: --shutdown-master-username arg

   Set the name of the master\-username of the messaging
   used for auto\-shutdown. If \"shutdown\-master\-module\" is
   given as well, this parameter is ignored.


Verbosity
---------

.. option:: --verbosity arg

   Verbosity level [0..4]. 0:quiet, 1:error, 2:warning, 3:info,
   4:debug.

.. option:: -v, --v

   Increase verbosity level \(may be repeated, eg. \-vv\).

.. option:: -q, --quiet

   Quiet mode: no logging output.

.. option:: --component arg

   Limit the logging to a certain component. This option can
   be given more than once.

   Overrides configuration parameter :confval:`connection.server`.

.. option:: -t, --timeout arg

   Overrides configuration parameter :confval:`connection.timeout`.

.. option:: -g, --primary-group arg

   Overrides configuration parameter :confval:`connection.primaryGroup`.

.. option:: -S, --subscribe-group arg

   A group to subscribe to.
   This option can be given more than once.

.. option:: --content-type arg

   Overrides configuration parameter :confval:`connection.contentType`.

.. option:: --start-stop-msg arg

   Set sending of a start and a stop message.


Database
--------

.. option:: --db-driver-list

   List all supported database drivers.

.. option:: -d, --database arg

   The database connection string, format:
   service:\/\/user:pwd\@host\/database.
   \"service\" is the name of the database driver which
   can be queried with \"\-\-db\-driver\-list\".

.. option:: --config-module arg

   The config module to use.

.. option:: --inventory-db arg

   Load the inventory from the given database or file, format:
   [service:\/\/]location .

.. option:: --db-disable

   Do not use the database at all
