RMS (root mean square)

The RMS is computed every second and is the root mean

square of the digital counts for a one-second period. The DC

offset of the signal is removed by subtracting the average from

the MMA calculation. The RMS is a measure of the energy

imparted to the digitiser during a one-second period. The result

is in gal.

SI (spectral intensity)

The spectral intensity is a measurement that attempts to

determine the amount of energy absorbed by structures in the

vicinity of the sensor during an event. The calculation uses a

series of frequency-dependent filters to model structures and

performs an integration calculation to compute the expected

velocity (pseudo-velocity) of these structures.

The result, in kine, is thus an indication of how fast a structure

was moving and thus how likely it is to be damaged. SI

corresponds very closely to physical damage.
