GeoDAQ5 24
High-Resolution Seismic Recording System

with High Speed, Compact Size & Low Power

GeoDAQ 5-24 is the fifth generation of portable seismograph systems. It can be configured as a stand-alone monitoring system, a refraction system or a distributed seismic reflection system.

The GeoDAQ 5-24 is compatible with 61-pin spread cables and geophones.

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.
