Suitable Systems has released a new version of its SeisMac application, a free, software-only tool that turns your Mac laptop into a three-axis seismograph.
SeisMac 3.0 was developed with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) through the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS). It’s a free app for Mac OS X 10.4 or later. Using the Sudden Motion Sensor hardware built into recent Mac laptops, SeisMac senses seismic motion in three dimensions and displays it in a continually scrolling graph.
Version 3.0 of SeisMac adds the ability to export your captured seismological data to CSV, SAC or SACA files. SAC and SACA are industry-standard file formats for seismic analysis programs. CSV files can be used to easily import your data into popular spreadsheet programs.
