Visual check PRFs with an user interface#
Open the user interface#
Following previous steps, PRFs have been calculated and save to SAC files in a folder named as the station name.
net.sta
├── 2018.229.15.35.02_P_R.sac
├── 2018.229.15.35.02_P_T.sac
├── 2018.229.22.06.55_P_R.sac
├── 2018.229.22.06.55_P_T.sac

For example, PRFs were saved in folder net.sta. the file name of the PRF must be in %Y.%j.%H.%M.%S_P_[RT].sac. Now input following command to open the UI to browse the PRFs and reject poor PRFs.
$ pickrf /path/to/net.sta
The window will open as following image. Each page will display 20 PRFs. You can press z and c hotkey or click previous and next button for turning pages.
Operations#
Directly click PRFs on the interface to set up them to ‘poor’ PRFs. The PRFs will turn gray when you click a PRF. If you click again, it will restored to a ‘good’ PRF.
When you have selected all PRFs, please click finish button to delete all ‘poor’ PRFs. Then a list file named as net.stafinallist.dat will be generated automatically in the folder, which include following columns
Event name: the event name with format as
%Y.%j.%H.%M.%S.Phase: the phase name (same as that in file name).
Event latitude
Event longitude
Event depth
Epicenter distance in degree
Back-azimuth
Ray-parameters in s/km
Magnitude
Gaussian factor
This list file is very important for derived method such as H-k stacking and CCP stacking.
Other functions#
enlarge and reduce visual amplitudes of the waveforms#
Buttons of Amp enlarge and Amp reduce are available to control the visual amplitudes.
Preview all PRFs#
the space hotkey and preview button provide a function to plot all ‘good’ PRFs. Use ctrl+s on Linux/Windows and cmd+s on MacOS to save this figure as a PDF file.

Re-calculation of RFs#
As a final-list saved into RF output path, events information of RFs can be invoked for re-calculation if we need to change some parameters, such as gauss factor, bandwidth of filter or deconvolution method. After version 1.2.14, the prf command introduce a new option of -f for re-calculation using events in the final-list.
