• calculation of number of absolute and effective cycles of
acceleration using peak counting - including or excluding
non-zero crossings and rainflow counting techniques;
• calculation of mean, predominant spectral, smoothed
spectral predominant and average spectral periods;
• plotting particle motions both in two and three
dimensions;
• basic database functionality to allow earthquake and
station metadata to be added, used and exported;
• comparison of observed elastic response spectra to
predicted spectra from various ground-motion prediction
equations and seismic design codes;
• plotting of acceleration, velocity and displacement timehistories
on map;
• exporting the uncorrected and corrected spectra in these
commonly used strong-motion record formats:
• Columns;
• CSMIP as used by the California Strong-Motion
Instrumentation Program;
• ISESD as used by the Internet Site for European
Strong-Motion Data;
• K­Net as used by Kyoshin Net;
• PEER as used by Pacific Earthquake Engineering
Research Center;
• SMC as used by the US Geological Survey;
• SAC as used by Seismic Analysis Code;
