"\n",
"The first step when working with instrument data is to acquire it. Nowadays this is mostly done using the *station* web service defined by the [FDSN](http://www.fdsn.org/) (International Federation of Digital Seismograph Networks). Once you know how to use this you can use it to download data from data centers across the globe including IRIS, ORFEUS, ETH, RESIF, GEONET, and many more. Notable exceptions are most Asian countries and countries that don't freely share their data."

Restoring original ground motion requires the inversion of that process. The deconvolution of the instrument response as written for example in a StationXML file will convert data back to its original units.\n",
