Package: dastools
Tools to work with data generated by DAS systems.OverviewThis package provides a set of tools to read, manipulate and convert seismic waveforms
generated by DAS systems. In particular, the ones generated by Silixa (TDMs format) and OptoDAS/Alcatel (HDF5).dasconvThis utility lets you convert and manipulate seismic waveforms in TDMs format and export them into MiniSEED.Data acquired from experiments with DAS systems are usually stored in one folder. Files within this folder have names
indicating the experiment and the start time of the waveforms saved. An example of the files generated in a test
experiment is shown below.$ ls -l

A detailed explanation on how to use it on your own programs can be found in the documentation.A typical help message fromdasconvlooks like the following:usage: dasconv [-h] [-l {CRITICAL,ERROR,WARNING,INFO,DEBUG}] [-d DIRECTORY]

from a folder with TDMS files.A typical help message fromtdmswslooks like the following:% tdmsws -h
usage: tdmsws [-h] [-mc] [-l {DEBUG,WARNING,INFO,DEBUG}]

tdmsws is an FDSN Dataselect implementation to read TDMS files

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -mc, --minimalconfig  Generate a minimal configuration file.
  -l {DEBUG,WARNING,INFO,DEBUG}, --log {DEBUG,WARNING,INFO,DEBUG}
                        Increase the verbosity level.The “mc” switch creates a config file, which should be placed in the same folder as the TDMS files. The file includes
all needed options and configuration variables which will be read by the software before being able to serve the data.
The user is expected to edit this file and provide the basic information about the DAS experiment before running the
service.One can see below a typical config file.[General]
experiment = default
loglevel = INFO

[NSLC]
network = XX
location =
channel = FSFThe “experiment” variable refers to the first part of the filenames in the folder. For instance, in the example above
all files will start with “default” and then a timestamp including the timezone (or UTC) will follow.$ ls -l

and it will always be a number referring to the stream number for the experiment. From the example above, the only valid
code would be “XX.00001..FSF”, “XX.00002..FSF”, …, “XX.00123..FSF” up to all available streams.Running the serviceTo run the service you should “cd” into the folder with the TDMS files and make sure that there is a file called
“tdmsws.cfg” with its variables properly configured. Then, you can simply call the program, which will start and run
as a daemon. The service will listen to all requests in port 7000.Web service methodsquery: The six required parameters “net”, “sta”, “loc”, “cha”, “start”, and “end” are supported including their aliases. Errors are returned as specified in the standard.version: returns the version number in text/plain formatapplication.wadl: returns details about implemented and supported options and parametersqueryauth: NOT implemented yet!AcknowledgmentsThis work was done as part of theEOSC-Pillarproject, which has received funding from the
