Recording Absolute Velocity

Dear Sir or Madam.

I want to record absolute (total) velocity in time-history analysis of structures.

I wrote the following sentences in .tcl file to get absolute (total) velocity. Is this correct? If not, can you correct the sentence?

# Record Absolute (Total) Velocity
timeSeries Path 1 -dt $dt -filePath $GMfile -factor $GMfact;
recorder Node -file AbsVelocity.out -time -timeSeries 1 -node (node numbers) -dof 1 vel;
#

Thanks in advance!
