OSError: SDS root is not a local directory

[SHEN-Cheng]

Hi,

I met a error:
OSError: SDS root is not a local directory: *.sac

In my case, I covert my station into pkl first, and then I want to read all the sac files in the current directory by using *.sac, and the error come out.

Do you have any idea on it?

BTW, I attempted to use the sac name there, also return the error: OSError: SDS root is not a local directory: 2024.255.CS.00.HHE.SAC

Any input is valuable, thanks!

Best

Hi @SHEN-Cheng

You have to specify the path to an SDS-formatted data folder containing your sac files, as explained here: https://nfsi-canada.github.io/OrientPy/orientpy.html#using-local-data

The data folder structure must follow the SDS format exactly; otherwise, it will not work. Note that the file naming convention is also important, and the files should not include the extension ".sac".

I hope this helps.
