Each channel entry may be wildcarded. When two or more channels are specified, they need to be enclosed in double-quotes. Take note that the ss field can drop the decimal point if the fraction of a second is equal to zero. Inventory requests ask for information regarding the data holdings of a particular data center. What this illustrates is the inventory request's unique ability to accept a variable number of field entries which will determine how much information is returned.
Information is displayed hierarchically.
The format mimics response files generated by the IRIS utility rdseed . Unlike .INV request lines, the .RESP lines must include all the field strings in the standard request line format . A request for waveform data may take considerably longer to process than requests for inventory and response data. If the user has mixed inventory or response request lines with waveform request lines, the inventory and response data will generally be returned sooner than waveform data. Unlike inventory requests, all fields must be included in a .DATA request line, including the start and end time, in order for the request line to be accepted.
