ASDF Sextant

Landing page for all things ASDF: https://seismic-data.org

This is Adaptable Seismic Data Format - if you are looking for the Advanced Scientific Data Format, go here: https://asdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

This is an experimental graphical user interface intended to enable the interactive exploration of ASDF files. It is best suited to deal with earthquake data.

Installation

$ conda install pyasdf pyside2
$ pip install asdf-sextant

It is important to install pyside2 via conda if you use conda - otherwise it is easy to install some version of Qt with conda and another via pip which just crashes.

Usage

Start it with:

$ asdf-sextant

Alternatively you can directly open a file with it:

$ asdf-sextant filename.h5
