When we upload a target spectrum on PEER database, the search results show a scale factor which when I dug deeper in the Search Results csv file, certainly means the factor multiplied by the SRSS value of PSA values of the horizontal components to give the final PSA value used to plot the response spectrum. My question is, how do I use it to scale my ground motion and perform a Time History Analysis? Will it just be put as a multiplication factor for the ground motion on SeismoSignal (or SAP2000 or ETABS whichever software you might be comfortable in using and explaining in)?
