Hi George,

  Winquake does not provide 2D plotting, but I have my own way, using Dataq's 

WinDaq Lite Waveform Browser, which can be downloaded from "www.dataq.com" 
free of charge. I have written a utility program "Headpik.exe" which, among 
its 
many other functions, can convert PSN Type 4 files to WinDaq (.WDQ) format 
files. "Headpik.exe" can then combine two such files into a 2-channel WinDaq 
file, which can be displayed in X-Y format by the WinDaq Lite Waveform 
Browser. 
You can also view a superimposed plot of X and Y, something else that 
WinQuake 
does not provide. If you have any interest, contact me at 
bobhelenmcclure at aol dot com. 

  Fair warning: It will take a lot of time to learn how to use the WinDaq 
Browser. 
Since I use Dataq hardware and software for data acquisition, I had no choice 

in having to learn how to use their software. You may not be as motivated. 
Given 
sufficient popular demand, I could build an application for 2D viewing of PSN 

event files without resort to any other supporting software. However, I also 
note 
that very few PSN members record on both N and E channels. It is necessary 
that 
the sensors have the same response bandwidth and sensitivity. If they do not, 

I have an application, "WQFilter.exe", which can be used to make the channel 
responses the same.

Cheers,

Bob McClure
