RESPONSE FILES

The goal of the resp directory is to build a golang source module that allows easy instrument response information discovery for downstream programs but primarily to build stationxml representations of the meta information.

ResponseType

The ResponseType is a struct that mimics the StationXML ResponseType element, but is not constrained to any particular version. For this reason it can be used to load base XML files which can then be used to construct the full response needed for StationXML.

The location of the base XML files can be found in:

• auto -- where the original response files have been converted into an XML equivalent.
• files -- where response files have been handcrafted as needed.
• nrl -- where responses derived from the NRL (Nominal Response Library) can be stored.

Files found in any of the locations can be used in the channel and component configurations by removing the .xml suffix.
