Using 5 letter stations doesn't work about easyquake HOT 4 CLOSED

Some location programs truncate 5 letter stations into 4 so there is a part of the code that makes the station only 4 letters. Is there a particular reason or use case where you need to have the station output file with 5 characters?

Hi Jake. No, I thought that the stations won't function correctly.
But since the names are only truncated, no data is lost right?
Another question I have, what happens if I set machine to false?
Does the data have to be 1 day long, or can it be shorter, E.G. 1 hour?
Thanks.

The data can be shorter, as long as you organize the directory structure according to a timestamp. However, I recommend daily data as it makes things a little easier with the example scripts that are provided. We do have a very short event mode for trying out, if you like. If you set machine to False, then it will attempt to run a more traditional picker that is not very thoroughly tested. I suggest keeping the machine flag True and running it on tensorflow-gpu capable hardware (CUDA compatible NVIDIA card).

Thanks for the help, I can't set the machine mode to true, as I am using a PC that has no GPU at the moment. But very great app anyway, I'll definitely try it out again when I have acquired a GPU.
