What is a timeseries?

The term "timeseries" refers to the time for which data was recorded for a given channel. Some channels record continuously and others are triggered by events of a certain magnitude. The SCEDC records this time information in the database so users can acurately determine what data is available down to the thousand of a second.

How this query works

You must include:

• A start and stop time. If you do not change the default time, that time will be used for your query. Your start time must be earlier than your end time (but no error message will appear if you goof).

You can include:

• Channel flag parameter: T for triggered or C for continuous. Please be aware that not all data providers use this channel flag.
• You can put multiple values separated by a comma in the network, station, location and channel fields. Do not put spaces around the commas.
• You may use wildcards except in the network field.
