This note gives a brief explanation of the inversion program and relevant data files. The program package contains three different sets of inversion programs as follows:

Set 1: Inversion allowing mechanism changes.
Set 2: Fine tuning of the source time function and slip distribution.
Set 3: Inversion with a fixed fault mechanism.

The above three sets can be used in the following way:
(1) Use Set 1 to determine a gross fault mechanism for a single subevent with a long source duration. If the waveform match is not satisfactory and some different mechanisms are inferred, try more iteration to determine additional subevents.
(2) Use Set 2 to tune the source time functions for subevents derived in (1).
(3) If the mechanism change is not likely to occur (as in the case of subduction zone earthquakes) and the source process still seems complex, try Set 3 to determine a sub-event distribution over a fault plane.
