Technical Discuss PSD Graphics

Hello, Good Afternoon

I want to ask about my project use obspy python.

I have silicon audio sensor. I have made Dataless PDCC IRIS for silicon audio. Then, I try use obspy python for display PSD’s graphic. I also use StationXML as metadata silicon audio. But, I have problem that the PSD’s graphic can’t display well. You can see the script and result at below. Can you help me to solve this problem? What’s wrong with that? thank you

Best Regards

What are the two different metadata files you use there? If there is one for the sensor and one for the digitizer, you need to combine both properly and use that for response removal.

I tried use two metadata which are metadata from NRL tools and metadata StationXML. But, the results can’t display PSD grahics properly. What’s wrong with those? Can you help me? Thank you

You need to sort out the issues with the metadata. Try plotting it and confirm that the frequency response matches what you expect from the used sensor and digitizer.

Hello Bagus Good Afternoon

It looks like you’re on the right track using ObsPy with your Silicon Audio sensor and StationXML metadata to display PSD graphics

If the PSD graph isn’t displaying correctly here are a few things to check

Ensure your StationXML metadata is correctly formatted and matches your sensor’s specifications

Verify that your waveform data is correctly pre-processed such as detrending and tapering before computing the PSD.
