how to convert .bin to .txt extension

here, I wanna share my study as Microseismic Engineering (amin). we will learn about how to convert .bin extension to .txt extension. case study comes from microtremor data. as a geophysicist, I think we all know about microtremor. microtremor is a very low amplitude of ambient vibration in ground that produces by human activity or natural phenomena, such as wind or waves. by analyzing the microtremor we can get natural frequency for estimating collapse potential of ground or building.

recorded file of microtremor or microseismic signal which produces by M.A.E Vibralog instrument can directly analyze by using software of its instrument. but if we wanna use other software which is easier and get it freely in the web, such as geopsy, mathlab, etc. we have to change the extension first in order to be able reading. commonly, most software can analyze .txt extension and M.AE Vibralog product is in .bin extension. so we have to convert .bin to .txt.

first you must have SEG2 Conversion Utility and Geopsy. then please open SEG2 Convertion Utility. here the basic display of it.

then click OPEN > your data won't be displayed until you type the name of your data > OPEN

then click "convert" and wait a few minutes...

make sure that your file extension .txt in "export to" box.

congratulation...!! now you have done first step. now open your geopsy program.
in first time open, geopsy program you will face this dialog box.

then, you have to use suitable format to read .txt extension. so choose in "use this format" burhan (*.tst*) and push "OK". and if you do not find it in the choice, it means that you're in the right way. hehehe..:). because I create it by my self. if you wanna get it. visit it.
if your preference dialog box, you can open it by clicking FILE > PREFERENCE.

then after your business with preference dialog box was over, import signal by pushing tools that I put red ellipse on it. or you can look for it on FILE > IMPORT SIGNAL > FILE. select your .txt extension signal data and click "open"

great, I hope you can follow the procedure well and do not get any problems.
after you click "open" the signal won't display, it means you're still the god way. :)
then you should minimize or drag graphic display and you will find table or something like that.

push CTRL+K on your keyboard in the same time. then change vertical, east and north component in "component" coulomb regularly. and give 50(Hz) in "sampling frequency" coulomb. your signal will be displayed.

wish you get the usefulness of my blog. any question, comment please.
