eqfilter is the so called garbage rejector . That is it performs sanity and authoritative region tests to hyp2000arc messages found on the InRing and passes to the OutRing. InRing and OutRing can not be the same.
All tests are optional. If a test is not configured then it is not performed. If a test is configured then it must pass. Tests are tied to inst_id. More or less all parameters in the hypo summary card may be tested for. Additionally, authoritative regions may be configured. Minimum number of coda picks greater than zero for multiple magnitudes may also be configured.
INST_WILDCARD is allowed. If wildcard is the only institute configured for a given test then arc messages from any installation will be tested with those parameters. If only specific installation is configured for a given test, then only messages from that installation will be tested for and all others will fail. If a specific installation is configured for a given test and wildcard is also configured for that test, then messages from the specific will use those parameters, and all other non-specified installations will use the wildcard params.
On startup, eqfilter reads the configuration file named on the command-line. Commands in this file set up all parameters used in testing events for passing to the clean ring. In the control file, lines may begin with a valid eqfilter command (listed below) or with one of 2 special characters:
Command names must be typed in the control file exactly as shown in this document (upper/lower case matters!).# marks the line as a comment (example: # This is a comment).
@ allows control files to be nested; one control file can be accessed from another with the command "@" followed by a string representing the path name of the next control file (example: @model.d).
In the following section, all configuration file commands are listed in alphabetical
order. Listed along with the command (bold-type) are its arguments (in red)
and a description of the command. There are no default values so if you
configure the command without arguments, all messages fail.

2. ALPHABETIC COMMAND LISTING & DESCRIPTION
AllowUndefInst
Command with no arguments and applies only to Authoritative Regions.
Any TYPE_HYP2000ARC messages with installation
ID not listed in any InclRegion will will pass the Authoritative Region test.
Debug
Command with no arguments. If present, many debug messages are logged.
DepthTest Inst_ID MinDepth MaxDepth
If defined, only messages from Inst_ID that have hypocentral depth between
MinDepth and MaxDepth kilometers, exclusive, will be passed. All others fail.
DminTest Inst_ID MaxDmin
If defined, only messages from InstID with a distance to the nearest station
of less than MaxDmin kilometers will be passed. All others fail.
ExclRegion Inst_ID NumSides Lat1 Lon1 Lat2 Lon2 ... Lat1 Lon1
List of exclude regions to cut "holes" in a given Inst_ID's authoritave polygon.
The points of a polygon should be listed as if lines of the polygon
were being drawn without lifting up the pencil, until the polygon
is closed. Therefore, the first and the last point should be
the same, and each two the points in between should be the ends
of one side of the polygon. INST_WILDCARD is NOT ALLOWED with this test.
GapTest Inst_ID MaxGap
If defined, only messages from InstID with azimuthal gap of less than
MaxGap degrees will be passed. All others fail.
GetEventsFrom> INST_ID MOD_ID
What message logos to listen to. Can be more than one, but no more than five.
The message type is hard coded to TYPE_HYP2000ARC
HeartBeatInt Seconds
Required command to define number of seconds between heartbeats placed on OutRing.
InclRegion Inst_ID NumSides Lat1 Lon1 Lat2 Lon2 ... Lat1 Lon1
List authoritative regions.
It associates an earthworm installation ID with a polygon (max 20 sides)
inside of which that installation is authoritative.
An installation can have more than one authoritative region.
A region can belong to more than one installation.
The points of a polygon should be listed as if lines of the polygon
were being drawn without lifting up the pencil, until the polygon
is closed. Therefore, the first and the last point should be
the same, and each two the points in between should be the ends
of one side of the polygon. INST_WILDCARD is NOT ALLOWED with this test.
InRing RingName
Read message type HYP2000ARC from this ring.
LogFile int
If set to 1, turn on logging. If set to 0, turn it off.
MinMagTest Inst_ID MinMag
If defined, messages from installation Inst_ID with magnitude greater than
MinMag will pass. All others fail.
MaxE0Test Inst_ID MaxE0
If defined, messages from installation Inst_ID with E0 less than
MaxE0 will pass. All others fail. E0 is the value of the largest
principal error in kilometers.
MaxERHTest Inst_ID MaxERH
If defined, messages from installation Inst_ID with ERH less than
MaxERH will pass. All others fail. ERH is the value of the largest
horizontal error in kilometers.
MaxERZTest Inst_ID MaxERZ
If defined, messages from installation Inst_ID with ERZ less than
MaxERZ will pass. All others fail. ERZ is the value of the veritical
error in kilometers.
MyModuleId name
name is the instance of this module and must be defined in earthworm.d
NcodaTest Inst_ID MinC Mag
If defined, messages from installation Inst_ID with magnitude greater
than Mag, must have at least MinC coda duration picks greater than 0.
All others fail.
nphTest Inst_ID NPhase
If defined, messages from installation Inst_ID with more than
NPhase arrivals having phase weight greater than 0.1 will
pass. All others fail.
OutRing name
Required. Outgoing messages get written to name ring. Can not be the
same is InRing.
RMSTest Inst_ID MaxRMS
If defined, messages from installation Inst_ID with rms error
less than MaxRMS will pass. All others fail.
