**Derives quality control (QC) parameters from waveforms.**
Description
===========
scqc determines waveform quality control (QC) parameters of data streams. The
output parameters are time averaged in terms of waveform quality messages.
In regular intervals report messages are sent containing the short term average
representation of the specific QC parameter for a given time span. Alarm messages
are generated if the short term average (e.g. 90 s) of a QC parameter differs from
the long term average (e.g. 3600 s) by more than a defined threshold.
To avoid an excessive load, QC messages are sent distributed over time. Storing
QC parameters into the database should be avoided by configuring, e.g.,
:confval:`plugins.default.archive.interval` as otherwise the database grows
quickly.
The QC parameters can be interactively observed using :ref:`scqcv` or :ref:`scmm`.
Technology
==========
scqc uses :term:`plugins <plugin>` to compute the waveform quality control (QC)
parameters. The plugins can be found in @DATADIR@/plugins/qc. They are loaded
by default or selected by :ref:`configuration setup <scqc-setup>`.
QC parameters
=============
.. _scqc-fig-times:
.. figure:: media/times.png
:align: center
:width: 16cm
Times describing the data records, e.g., for calculating
:ref:`delay<scqc-delay>` or :ref:`latency<scqc-latency>`.
:math:`t_{now}` may be measured differently depending on the QC parameter.
The following QC parameters are determined when the corresponding plugin is
loaded:
.. _scqc-availability:
availability [%]
**Plugin:** qcplugin_availability
**Description:** Availability of data in the configured time span.
.. _scqc-delay:
delay [s]
**Plugin:** qcplugin_delay
**Description:** Time difference between current time, :math:`t_{now}`, and
time of the last record in the |scname| system (see :ref:`Figure<scqc-fig-times>`):
.. math::
delay = t_{now} - t_{2}.
.. note ::
Current time is measured during reception of a record and updated in the
report intervals configured for delay.
.. _scqc-gaps:
gaps (count [counts], interval [s], length [s])
**Plugin:** qcplugin_gap
**Description:** In case of a data gap between two consecutive records this
parameter delivers the gap interval time (interval), the mean length of the gaps
(length) and the number of the gaps (count) over the configured time interval.
.. hint ::
gaps interval = 0 for gaps count = 1 but gaps interval > 0
for gaps count > 1. This may be important when evaluating the intervals.
.. _scqc-latency:
latency [s]
**Plugin:** qcplugin_latency
**Description:** Time difference between current time, :math:`t_{now}`, and
arrival time of the last record (see :ref:`Figure<scqc-fig-times>`):
.. math::
latency = t_{now} - t_{arr}.
.. note ::
Current time is measured during reception of a record and updated in the
report intervals configured for latency.
.. _scqc-offset:
offset [counts]
**Plugin:** qcplugin_offset
**Description:** Average value of all samples of a record.
.. _scqc-outage:
outage [time string]
**Plugin:** qcplugin_outage
**Description:** Delivers the start and the end time of a data outage (gap).
.. _scqc-overlap:
overlaps (count [counts], interval [s], length [s])
**Plugin:** qcplugin_overlap
**Description:** In case of overlaps between two consecutive records this parameter
delivers the overlaps interval time (interval), the mean length (length) of the
overlaps and the number of the overlaps (count) over the configured time interval.
.. hint ::
overlaps interval = 0 for overlaps count = 1 but overlaps interval > 0
for overlaps count > 1. This may be important when evaluating the intervals.
.. _scqc-rms:
rms [counts]
**Plugin:** qcplugin_rms
**Description:** Offset corrected root mean square (RMS) value of a record.
.. _scqc-spike:
spikes (count [counts], interval [s], amplitude [counts])
**Plugin:** qcplugin_spike
**Description:** In case of the occurrence of a spike in a record this parameter
delivers the time interval between consecutive spikes (interval), the mean
amplitude of the spike (amplitude) and the number of the spikes (count) over the
configured time interval. Internally a list of spikes is stored (spike time,
spike amplitude); the spike finder algorithm is still preliminary.
.. hint ::
spikes interval = 0 for spikes count = 1 but spikes interval > 0
for spikes count > 1. This may be important when evaluating the intervals.
.. _scqc-timing:
timing [%]
**Plugin:** qcplugin_timing
**Description:** miniSEED record timing quality (0 - 100 %) as written into the
miniSEED records by the digitizer.
.. _scqc-setup:
Setup
=====
The configuration can be adjusted in the module configuration (:file:`scqc.cfg`).
#. Select the streams for which to compute the QC parameters. Be default, only
streams defined global bindings are considered:
* :confval:`use3Components`: Select to consider the 3 components related to
the stream defined by global bingings. Reguires to **select**
:confval:`useConfiguredStreams`.
* :confval:`streamMask`: Freely choose any available stream to compute the QC
parameters for. This requires to **unselect** :confval:`useConfiguredStreams`.
Regular expressions may be used, e.g.:
* Consider BHZ streams from all networks, stations and locations: ::
streamMask = ""(.+)\.(.+)\.(.*)\.(BHZ)$"
* Consider any component from BH, LH and HH streams: ::
streamMask = "(.+)\.(.+)\.(.*)\.((BH)|(LH)|(HH))?$"
#. Load the QC and other plugins, e.g. for data acquisition.
The QC plugins loaded by default are :code:`qcplugin_availability`,
:code:`qcplugin_delay`, :code:`qcplugin_gap`, :code:`qcplugin_latency`,
:code:`qcplugin_offset`, :code:`qcplugin_outage`, :code:`qcplugin_overlap`,
:code:`qcplugin_rms`, :code:`qcplugin_spike` and :code:`qcplugin_timing`.
Adjust :confval:`plugins` for setting plugins explicitly and to exclude the other
ones, e.g. ::
plugins = qcplugin_availability, qcplugin_spike
Further :term:`RecordStream` plugins for reading data may be considered.
#. Configure the plugin parameters: Each plugin considers specific parameters
which can be configured separately or the default section.

Command-Line Options
====================
.. program:: scqc
Generic
-------
.. option:: -h, --help
Show help message.
.. option:: -V, --version
Show version information.
.. option:: --config-file arg
Use alternative configuration file. When this option is
used the loading of all stages is disabled. Only the
given configuration file is parsed and used. To use
another name for the configuration create a symbolic
link of the application or copy it. Example:
scautopick \-> scautopick2.
.. option:: --plugins arg
Load given plugins.
.. 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,

.. 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.
.. option:: -s, --syslog
Use syslog logging backend. The output usually goes to
\/var\/lib\/messages.
.. option:: -l, --lockfile arg
Path to lock file.
.. option:: --console arg
Send log output to stdout.
.. option:: --debug
Execute in debug mode.
Equivalent to \-\-verbosity\=4 \-\-console\=1 .

.. 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:

used.
.. option:: --record-file arg
Specify a file as record source.
