    Before we start the inversion procedure, the following steps have to be followed

   1.Selection of records to be used for inversion

   The window based dialog as shown here below selects the records to be used for inversion. The names of available records are listed in the left frame, the names of records selected for inversion - in the right frame. By default the content of these two frames is the same

     2. Structural models and related stations

  The window below provides possibility to calculate the structural model for part of stations by 3SMAC program, and to put in correspondence to the rest of stations given models from directory MODELS. The same can be done for the epicentral zone. If there are models to be calculated by 3SMAC program, push at first the button "3 SMAK MODEL". 3SMAC models will be calculated for all stations and for the epicentral zone. If the model for any station must be taken from directory MODELS click on the model name in the left column (files from directory MODELS) and on correspondent station in the right column. If the model for the epicentral zone must be taken from directory MODELS click on correspondent model name in the left column, push the radio button "Model List", and button "Get Source Model from". In the example below the model from file "000.mod" will be used for the epicentral zone, and for all stations models calculated by 3SMAC program will be used

          3. Spectral Range Discretization

3a. Appropriate Spectral Range for every recorded wave
    During preliminary filtering by FTAN program, a spectral domain, definedby maximum and minimum periods, is to be determined for every wave wherethe signal is of a good quality. These  period values go in the text boxes "T min" and  "T max" in the uppermost leftpart of the window.  To associate thispair of values to any record, the user has to click on the right record name.

3b. Spectral grid
    After the spectral boundaries for every record are fixed, the spectral range for inversion has to be chosen. Minimum and maximum periods has to be typed  in "T min" and "Tmax" text boxes in the central part of the window. A maximum number of spectral samples (<= 18) has to be typed in the text box Nw. The number of samples for the Fast Fourier Transform program calculating the spectra is the last parameter to be defined. Push the arrow in the combo box, choose the number, and push "Get" button. Actual spectral boundaries for every record will appear in the central window. If you will mark by cursor any record in this window, spectral samples relatedto this record will appear in the right  window.

3c. Minimum period for phase spectra inversion
    By default the observed phase spectra will be used for the inversion in the full spectral domain. Model PREM will be used in this case to calculate the surface wave phase velocities. If you will type in the text box T min (in the lowermost left part of the window)  any value of the period , then the  phase spectra will be used for the inversion only for the periods lager than this value. If you will click on the check box "PhVel" and the directory PH_VEL containing the files with surface  wave average phase velocities is already existing,then these velocities interpolated on the grid defined  above will  beused for computations.

  specification

    This window allows you to specify the grid for the source parametric model. This model is specified by the double couple depth (in km) and three angles (in degrees): dip, strike and slip. For each  of  these parameters you have to specify the starting  value, the step, and the number of samples (N Step) using the appropriate text box.
 

 Note:
    It will be impossible to close up this window and a warning message appears, in the case where the parameters do not  satisfy the following constrains:
    N Step of depth   <= 100;
    N Step of dip     <= 6;
    N Step of strike  <=  12;
    N Step  of slip    <= 12;
    < start of dip >     +  < step ofdip >     *  ( < N Step of dip > - 1   )  <=   90;

   For a complete exploration of the focal sphere, it is enough to assign in the following window halfof the full interval for strike  and slip angles. The symmetric mechanisms are also investigated during the inversion. An example of parameters specification is shown below. 
 

  rarefication of polarity data

  Upper frame is related to selection of the value of the angleof polarity data smoothing. Push the arrow in the combo box  and select the value. Middle frame shows the list of polarity data sources contained in directory POLAR ("bulletin" or/and "polarity.sup").
If both data source types are available three radio buttons will appear. Push radio button correspondent to polarity data sources to be used. In example shown below there are both files in directory POLAR, but only bulletin is selected for inversion. 
   Lower frame provide possibility to set a value of P wave velocity in the source location to be used for take off angle calculation. Push radio button "manually" and type the value in the text box below. The other possibility is to take this value from AK135 model at the source depth (taken from Data Base). To do this push radiobutton "ak135 model".
  After all selections are done push OK. Stereographic projectionsof focal sphere with original and selected polarities will appear in a  PostScript Viewer window. To go back to the main window, select Fileand then Quit.
