java implementation of strawman
2016-05-14 00:24:34
Hi I have put together a java implementation of the strawman 2016-3-30 here: https://github.com/crotwell/seisFile/tree/miniseed3/src/main/java/edu/sc/seis/seisFile/mseed3 There is nothing like actually trying to implement something in code to help see how a spec really works. For what it is worth, I feel like the strawman is much, much improved over the old miniseed2. It is so much simpler and easier to code. I feel that the reduced complexity will make it much less likely that weird and subt… [more]

add warning that time order is tricky near leap seconds
2016-05-13 20:56:54
If sub 1 second packets are used, start times during/near leap seconds may not be in numerical order. Just add warning to docs. Philip

Next generation miniSEED: add U, user modified, data quality indicator
2016-05-12 22:00:34 - 2016-05-13 15:54:12
Propose to add U as a legal data quality value, indicating user modification as opposed to data center modification. Existing data quality values mostly pertain to data centers. Adding a value to explicitly say the user has modified the data would allow the user to tell processed data from data center "original" data and also allow the user to use the data version field to track their changes. So Q2 data means the data center did a change in quality control, while a U3 means the user has modi… [more]

Next generation miniSEED: combine loc id and channel codes into one field
2016-05-12 21:15:22 - 2016-05-13 15:53:27
Hi Spreadsheet is attached. But as reading in a spreadsheet is painful, here is the idea: Loc ids give namespace to channel codes, but were separate due to constraints of seed. It would be more logical to combine the two into a single field. Propose that this be 8 chars where it can be of the form: BIO, LLBIO, LLBIIO, LLLLBIO, or LLLLBIIO where L is locid, B is band code, I is instrument code and O is orientation code. This preserves naming for older channels, with and without locids, and pro… [more]

move Flags header to beginning of header
2016-05-12 23:29:56
The Flags header byte contains the byte ordering of the header. Since the you need the byte order to extract the rest of the header, it makes sense to move it to the front of the header so reading software does not have to read ahead to get this value. Byte 4 seems the best place, immediately after the header version field, but it should be at least before the first multi-byte binary header field. thanks Philip
