(last revised May 25, 2006)

pkfilter is a pick filtering module designed to prevent duplicate picks. Below is a copy of the .d file with detailed notes on each parameter

    # pkfilter configuration file

    # Basic Earthworm setup:
    #------------------------
     MyModuleId   MOD_PKFILTER    # module id for this instance of pkfilter
     InRing       PICK_RING       # shared memory ring for input
     OutRing      FILTERPICK_RING # shared memory ring for output
     HeartbeatInt 30              # seconds between heartbeats
     LogFile      1               # 0 log to stderr/stdout only
                                  # 1 log to stderr/stdout and to disk file
                                  # 2 log to disk file only
     Debug        1

    # List the message logos to grab from InRing, WILDCARDs permitted.
    # Multiple "GetLogo" commands are allowed, with no hardcoded limit.

    # Pick Filtering Parameters
    #--------------------------
     PickHistory          5      # Keep track of this many picks which have
                                 # made it thru the filter for each station.

     PickTolerance        3.0    # If pick times are within this many seconds of
                                 # each other, they are "duplicates."

     OlderPickAllowed     1      # 0=reject any non-duplicate pick whose
                                 #   timestamp is earlier than the youngest
                                 #   passed pick for this station.
                                 # 1=accept a non-duplicate pick whose timestamp
                                 #   is earlier than the youngest passed pick,
                                 #   but place a limit on how old it can be.
                                 #   Must also use the "OlderPickLimit" command.
                                 # 2=accept any non-duplicate pick whose
                                 #   timestamp is earlier than the youngest
                                 #   passed pick.

     OlderPickLimit       30     # Required only if OlderPickAllowed = 1
                                 # Accept an pick whose timestamp is between
                                 # PickTolerance and OlderPickLimit sec
                                 # earlier than the youngest passed pick
                                 # from this station.

     DuplicateOnQuality   1      # If non-zero, transfer a duplicate when its
                                 #  quality is better than the original.

     QualDiffAllowed      1      # Required quality difference for later pick to
                                 # be allowed to pass as a duplicate.
                                 #  0 means any pick greater than current pick
                                 #  1 means a pick of 1 replaces a pick of 3
                                 #  2 means a pick of 0 replaces a pick of 3
                                 #  3 is invalid because it is equivalent to
                                 #    turning off the duplicate on quality test

    # List of Allowed Components
    #---------------------------
    # If you want ALL component codes to be eligible to pass thru
    # pkfilter, comment out all "AllowComponent" commands.
    # If you want to limit which component codes pass thru pkfilter,
    # use one "AllowComponent" command for each allowed component code.
    # A component refers to the CHANNEL name in the SCNL tuple.
     AllowComponent   VDZ
     AllowComponent   VHZ
     AllowComponent   VLZ
     AllowComponent   SHZ
     AllowComponent   SLZ
     AllowComponent   EHZ
     AllowComponent   HHZ
     AllowComponent   BHZ
     AllowComponent   DP1
     AllowComponent   DP2
     AllowComponent   DP3
     AllowComponent   EP1
     AllowComponent   EP2
     AllowComponent   EP3

    # Coda Filtering Parameters
    #--------------------------
     CodaFilter       1          # Possible coda filtering values:
                                 #  0 = allow no codas thru filter
                                 #  1 = allow only codas which match passed
                                 #      picks to pass thru filter
                                 #  2 = allow all codas thru

    # Optional commands:
    #-------------------
     MaxMessageSize   128        # length (bytes) of largest msg to be processed
                                 # from InRing.  Default=MAX_BYTES_PER_EQ

     UseOriginalLogo  1          # 0  apply pkfilter's logo to any messages that
                                 #    pass the filter test (normal Earthworm behavior)
                                 # non-zero means apply the original logo to any
                                 #    messages that pass the filter test.  This
                                 #    also requires that InRing and OutRing be
                                 #    different to avoid "missed message" or
                                 #    "sequence gap" storms in pick-reading modules.
