444 -Lately we have been advocating for not writing to the proprietary DFD format (we don't know how this is structured!) in the event that the software is misbehaving or one wants to use a Linux or OSX machine or for whatever reason. If the nodes are programmed with an output set to MiniSeed, harvesting can be as simple as reading the devices as a mounted USB device and copying off the .MiniSeed files manually.

This involves simply reading the devices as a mounted USB device and copying off the .MiniSeed files manually~-~- easy enough!

446 -However please note the filename and channel convention. Raw data (here a BD3C-5) as usual has completely bizarre default channel codes (e.g. this should be DH?). Take care to interpret XYZ correctly though- many manufacturers will define X as East and Y as North to coincide with a typical Cartesian frame. **This is backwards here.**

466 466  We are aware that there are various different published responses for these instruments and trust very few of them. One has to be careful with how polarity is handled between groups as well, and if one is working in integer counts (the ANSIR default) or mV (unclear why anyone would use this as it makes file sizes enormous). The response information published below is in **counts** and seems to fit well in huddle tests. Note that the response is the same for all channels and all units (e.g. there are no bespoke calibrations!), all appear to be sample rate insensitive, and the IGU data has been inverted (multiplied by -1) as described here: [[5Hz Node Polarity Issues>>https://auspass.edu.au/xwiki/bin/view/Data/AusPass%20Data/#HSmartSoloNodePolarityIssues]]
