Program Description:
Program SUMMARY is a non-Earthworm-based program which runs independently
of any other seismic processing program.
Data files are shared between SUMMARY and other programs, but it is not
dependent on any other program. Its
purpose is to clearly display earthquake parameters and procedures to duty
personnel. It monitors a file which
contains the earthquake parameters from the last located earthquake. Based on these parameters, information is
displayed on the screen. The display is divided into six sections. The upper-left
quadrant lists the quake's location, magnitude, depth, and origin time. The upper-right
quadrant shows the time in minutes since the earthquake's origin. The section below
that shows Rayleigh wave arrival times for nearby seismometers. The section
below that is reserved for Alarm Messages.
The lower right section is reserved for future use. The lower-left section suggests a
course-of-action and a list of contacts for this earthquake. A new addition to the quadrant is the Get
Chart button which calls a procedural flow chart for this quake when pressed.
