Hi Bryan,
If your A/D board was locked to GPS time your timing accuracy is closer to +-5ms. The
filter delay is more or less constant and can be factor out by placing the filter
delay time in WinSDR. In the Channel Settings dialog box you will see a "Filter
Delay" edit box. For now use 50 ms. When I get some time I will measure the delay of
one of my Amp/Filter board channels and place this information on my Web site.
Besides accurate timing you should also have an accurate location of you station. I
noticed that the PSN files you placed on your web site did not have the Latitude and
Longitude data filled out or the file only had the location too two decimal places.
Since you have a GPS receiver you can use it to locate you station's location to a
few meters. If you run the current beta version of WinSDR you can use it to average
the position information from the GPS receiver connected to the A/D board. See
http://www.seismicnet.com/winsdr/betarelease.html for more information. If you let
WinSDR average the data for a day or two you will have a very accurate latitude and
longitude number.
Regards,
Larry Cochrane
