For MASW Projects
 

daq4-24

 

12 or 24 channel Streamers


 

The "MASW" version of the DAQlink 4 is configured for small projects. It is well-suited for programs requiring 12 or 24 channels and short shot records. Like MASW projects, for example.

 

The MASW DAQlink features:

12 or 24 channels

Records up 32,000 in length

Samples rates up to 2000 SPS

Plus, all the industry-leading specifications of the standard DAQlink 4

 

The MASW DAQlink suitable for:

MASW Data
Reflection Data
Acquiring data with a land or marine streamer
Any project requiring high-quality seismic data
 

The MASW DAQlink:

Has a solid all-aluminum case
Is small and lightweight
Is also frugal with power, will use any type of 12V battery
Can be powered via vehicle during streamer operation
Is compatible with the WTB 4 radio trigger system

Compatible with Sledge Hammers

Distributed DAQlink for Larger Projects

The Distributed DAQlink 4 System adds the ability to reliably connect multiple DAQlinks into a network.

 

The Distributed DAQlink:


Contains local and remote network extenders inside the case for reliable connections

Individual network cable links can reach 10,000 ft, or 3 km

Using inexpensive twisted pair telephone cable, or spread cables with imbedded communications

Networking cables also send trigger signals to the rest of the DAQlinks for reliable triggering

Networking cables send commands from the computer to the DAQlinks and return seismic data from them
Over 20 DAQlink 4’s can be networked for systems with hundreds of channels
The field computer controls the seismograph network, provides quality control for the data, and stores the shot records all in real time

Seismographs in a single chassis

MegaDAQ

240 channel system shown

 


MegaDAQ Features:

All connectors have been relocated to the side of the case, enabling DAQlinks to be stacked

With the connectors centralized, cable runs are shorter and easier to maintain

With the seismograph modules in a central location, they can be networked for real-time data

MegaDAQ configurations utilize a single GPS module for consistent timing

The MegaDAQ configuration packs the largest number of channels into the minimum amount of space


Acquisition Software Options

BGR

  BGR
  BGR is a single screen, basic data acquisition program. It is typically employ for single person crews, or for automated acquisition. All acquisition parameters are available on the single screen, including channel selection and directory. BGR comfortably runs several seismographs, and can handle different types of seismographs simultaneously.

Vscope3

  Vscope 3
  Use the SSC Land Streamer with the DAQlink for rapid data acquisition. Deploy the spread cable at the beginning of the line, and then quickly move it for the next shot. Especially useful for MASW projects.

Observer

  Observer
  All DAQlink 4 seismographs are compatible with the entire line of Seismic Source Co source control electronics. This includes the Force 3 Vibroseis controller, the Boom Box 3 dynamite synchronizer and the RTM 3 remote trigger module. DAQlink seismographs are also compatible with the Universal Encoder 3, use it for precise source operation.

Expandability and Flexibility

wtb4

  Wireless Trigger Box 4
  The WTB 4 removes the cable between the source and the seismograph, plus the frustration of dragging the firing line through the brush and around other obstacles.

land streamer

  SSC Land Streamer
  Use the SSC Land Streamer with the DAQlink for rapid data acquisition. Deploy the spread cable at the beginning of the line, and then quickly move it for the next shot. Especially useful for MASW projects.
