This directory contains various Steim-2 encoded miniSEED examples useful for
(unit-) testing.


 Note: All ASCII dumps are in the same format as the GIPPtools 'mseed2ascii'
       and 'mseedinfo' utilities will produce.


Test 001 -- miniSEED file created by QLib
-----------------------------------------

  A series of 6000 samples / 5 records in Steim-2 encoding. The miniSEED file
  was created with the 'qmerge' tool by Doug Neuhauser (of 'qlib2' fame) from
  actual EDL input files.

  001-qlib2-repacked.mseed      miniSEED file (Steim-2 encoded)
  001-qlib2-repacked.header     ASCII dump of the header
  001-qlib2-repacked.data.gz    ASCII dump of the sample values (gzipped)
  001-qlib2-repacked.file       Tabular summary of file content
  001-qlib2-repacked.summary    One line summary of file content
  001-qlib2-repacked.overview   One line, easy readable overview
  001-qlib2-repacked.index      One line per record summary
  001-qlib2-repacked.checksum   Checksum of the miniSEED data stream

  Note:  To create the miniSEED file a command similar to

           'qmerge -f 2006/10/07.15:17:00 -t 2006/10/07.15:18:00  \
                   -T -v -O STEIM2 -r                             \
                   -o 001-qlib2-repacked.mseed e3359061007150000.pri0'

         Important here is the '-r' switch that forces "repacking" (i.e. re-
         encoding) of the output file. In other words, the output file is a
         "QLib2 miniSEED" file and not longer an "EDL miniSEED" file.


  Note:  The same time series was also encoded using the 'Mini-SEED Library'
         (libmseed) by Chad Trabant (IRIS) via the 'msrepack' command.
         The resulting miniSEED file is binary identical to the QLib2 created
         file and therefore not again tested here.
