NAME

bagc - BSU program applies Automatic Gain Control (AGC) (C-Language Version)

SYNOPSIS

bagc [ -h | infile | twide | itype ]

DESCRIPTION

Basic Seismic Utilities (BSU) performs Automatic Gain recovery (both in space and time). One may choose to smooth the energy envelope with either a zero phase box car operator (which then gives an anticipatory component to the gain recovery), or one may choose to use the minimum phase (single pole on the real axis in the z-plane) filter. Output can be either the gain recovered data, or the smoothed gain recovery envelopes, sqrt(smoothed energy). First sample set to zero to avoid noise spike. C-Language Version.

Options

-h

Online help giving details on command line arguments

infile

First argument is usually the input file name

twide (float)

Width of energy envelope smoother in seconds (box car duration if itype=1 or 3), or exponential time decay factor (seconds) if itype=0 or 2). That is, exp(-time/twide).

itype (int)

Switch to select type of bsegy output.

0=gain recovered data, single pole (exponential, min. phase smoother).

1=gain recovered data, zero phase box car smoother

2=smoothed amplitude envelope, single pole case.

3=smoothed amplitude envelope, zero phase box car case.

NOTE:
If invoked with no options, will prompt user for input parameters.

EXAMPLE:
bagc w001.seg .05 0

File w001.seg is processed by bagc. The time constant is .05 seconds, and the single pole smoother is invoked. Output will be the gain recovered data.

FILES

bagcxxxx.seg

named according to convention (first 4char bagc, the next 4char are the first 4char of the input file name, suffix .seg)

standard output

produces a progress bar

bagcxxxx.lst

Echo check of input parameters in listing file.
