Products

daqlink4
High Resolution Seismic Recording System

with High Speed, Compact Size & Low Power

DAQlink4 is the fourth generation of portable seismograph systems. It can be configured as a stand-alone monitoring system, a refraction system or a distributed seismic reflection system.

Vscope software controls the seismograph, providing acquisition control, data QC and file storage. This seismograph utilizes industry standard Ethernet for command, control, and fast data file transfer.

Distributed DAQlink4 System


 

  The Distributed DAQlink 4 System is the combination of a standard DAQlink 4 seismograph and internal, high-speed, network extenders. Using inexpensive twisted pair telephone cable, these network extenders will send trig-gering times and receive seismic data from other DAQlinks. These cable links can send reach 10,000 ft, or three kilometers in length.
  The entire system is connected to a computer which con-trols the seismograph network and stores the acquired seismic data. This computer can be simultaneously providing Quality Control as the project is acquired. Seismic data can be stored in Raw (*.dat), SEG‑2 (*.sg2), SEG‑D (*.sgd), SEG-Y (*.sgy), or ASCII (8.csv), MiniSEED formats.
