TraceLists are a matlab format for manipulating time series data, written primarily for earthquake seismogram data. If you're new to this field I suggest you turn around and use obspy instead (https://github.com/obspy/obspy/wiki), it's an amazing and powerful resource and the method of choice for most purposes. If you are determined to use matlab, on the other hand, you're in the right place. TraceLists provide a way to manipulate large amounts of seismic data in a systematic and easy way. They make it much easier to keep track of all the data and meta-information that comes with each record.
This repository contains a tutorial that shows how to use traceLists and let's you experiments with some of the main features and functions of the traceList format. It's quite simple.
I hope you enjoy the tutorial (\_/) For comments and questions please email mmeier@caltech.edu; last update: May 09, 2019; v1.0
