# PeerMotion

This command is used to construct a TimeSeries object which, similar to a Path TimeSeries, the load factor obtained is dependent on a series of points obtained from a file. The difference is that the file is obtained from the original Peer strong motion database using an internet connection.

```tcl timeSeries PeerMotion $tag $eqMotion $station $type $factor <-dT $dT> <-nPTS $nPts> ```

tag

unique tag among TimeSeries objects.

eqMotion

the PEER name for the earthquake

record

a combination of PEER abbreviated station name and direction

type

type can be either -ACCEL or -DISP depending on whether you want accelerations or displacements

factor

factor to be applied to the data points, if accel record type you want to specify G

nPts

optional, if provided will set the variable nPts equal to number of data points found in record

dT

optional, if provided will set the variable dT equal to time interval between points in the record

NOTES:

EXAMPLE

To create 2 time series for two horizontal motions recorded for the Borrego Mtn 1968-04-09 earthquake recorded at the USGS 117 El Centro Array #9 station

timeSeries PeerMotion 1 BORREGO A-ELC180 -ACCEL $G -dT dt -NPTS nPts

timeSeries PeerMotion 2 BORREGO A-ELC270 -ACCEL $G
