The strong-motion time series data served out by the U.S. Geological Survey National Strong-Motion Program are in one of two formats, SMC or BBF.  This documentation describes the SMC-format and compares it to the BBF-format headers.

The SMC format uses ASCII character codes and provides text headers, integer headers, real headers, and comments followed by either digitized time-series coordinates or, in version 2 of the SMC format only, sets of response spectra values.  The header information is designed to provide the user with information about the earthquake and the recording instrument.  Each SMC-format file contains either a single time series or a set of response spectra or Fourier amplitude spectra of corrected acceleration calculated from a single time series.  Typical analog strong-motion records contain traces corresponding to three orthogonal components of motion and consequently require three separate SMC-format files to represent the record.

You will need BAP software to read them check here for more information http://nsmp.wr.usgs.gov/processing.html
