Hi Jón,
It may not be a timing problem. Since your event file shows that the A/D board was
locked to GPS time, I ready don't think your timing could be off by around 10 seconds.
You need the following for WinQuake to place the P and S markers correctly. Correct
station timing and latitude and longitude information, and for the event information
you need the correct time of origin, latitude, longitude and depth. You also need the
correct P and S travel-time model. If any of these parameters are not correct
WinQuake can't place the markers at the right spot on the seismogram.
If you think you are having a timing problem do the following. Using another source
for accurate time, I use the USA radio stations WWV/WWVH, jump near the sensor at the
top of the minute. While your jump may be off by a second you should be able to see
if the event file timing is off by 10 seconds.
Regards,
Larry Cochrane
