The Travel Time Module

The computation of seismic travel times is probably the most important part of earthquake location programs. Therefore, you might be surprised to hear that

There is no Travel Time Module within LOCSMITH

Instead, there is an generic interface routine which allows to implement interfaces to any external travel time software. LOCSMITH comes with an interface to my TTBOX routines (Knapmeyer, 2004, 2005), but if you wish, you can implement interfaces to your favorite travel time package. The generic interface routine is designed such that you can even call programs for 3D media.

However, for the sake of self-containedness, the LOCSMITH distribution contains the TTBOX package.

See the TTBOX documentation for how to install TTBOX. You do not need to learn how to use TTBOX, just install it.
