requestedEndtime:

Object of class "POSIXct": endtime used when requesting data with getDataselect.

act_flags:

Object of class "integer": Accumulators for the act_flags bits in each miniSEED record.

io_flags:

Object of class "integer": Accumulators for the io_flags bits in each miniSEED record.

dq_flags:

Object of class "integer": Accumulators for the dq_flags bits in each miniSEED record.

timing_qual:

Object of class "numeric": Average timing quality associated with miniSEED records.

traces:

Object of class "list": List of Trace objects.

Note

The Stream object is inspired by the Stream class found in the python ObsPy package (https://docs.obspy.org/packages/autogen/obspy.core.stream.Stream.html).

The miniSEED flags and timing_qual values are described in the SEED manual (http://www.fdsn.org/seed_manual/SEEDManual_V2.4.pdf). The "accumulators" contain counts of the number of times each bit flag was set during the parsing of a miniSEED file. These attributes are retained primarily for assessing data quality issues within the EarthScope.

The following code documentation describes how each of the flags is used within miniSEED files:

  # act_flags
  # [1] Calibration signals present
  # [2] Time correction applied
  # [3] Beginning of an event, station trigger
  # [4] End of an event, station detrigger
  # [5] A positive leap second happened in this record
  # [6] A negative leap second happened in this record
  # [7] Event in progress
  # [8] Undefined bit set

  # io_flags
  # [1] Station volume parity error possibly present
  # [2] Long record read (possibly no problem)
  # [3] Short record read (record padded)
  # [4] Start of time series
  # [5] End of time series
  # [6] Clock locked
  # [7] Undefined bit set
  # [8] Undefined bit set

  # dq_flags
  # [1] Amplifier saturation detected
  # [2] Digitizer clipping detected
  # [3] Spikes detected
  # [4] Glitches detected
  # [5] Missing/padded data present
  # [6] Telemetry synchronization error
  # [7] A digital filter may be charging
  # [8] Time tag is questionable
