[ANSS-netops] Inventory & Responses: New SIS (Station Info System)

[Meremonte, Mark]

May I ask regional networks if any are set up and using the SIS (
http://maui.gps.caltech.edu/SIStrac/wiki/SIS) system and, if so, your
experience and comments?

When I was at USGS-Golden we used the ANSS_Inv system to keep track of
station instrumentation trees and epochs.  Then from the epochs we
generated the response SEED volumes that went to IRIS-DMC.   I do not know
if regional networks ever used this package but it functioned quite well
supporting the IRIS Nominal Response Library even though a bit non-user
friendly.  However, I understand it is giving way to SIS based & managed at
CalTech with a browser interface it appears.

Reason I inquire is due to fact that at my current post there is no
inventory to keep track of station instrumentation trees/epochs or other
equipment and, thereby, facilitate the generation of accurate response
files.  Thus, I am deciding whether to install the soon to be unsupported
ANSS_Inv or participate in SIS which requires mandatory data availability
to ANSS and/or IRIS.

Thank You,
Mark
