Examples of EM Server Configurations
|
Back in the office, a computer server maintains the Event Monitoring network. The software running on this server uploads alerts and data from the field sites, tracks accounts and projects, and ensures the results are available from anywhere with Internet access.
|
|
|
Accounts, Projects, Deployments |
 |
A server can have multiple accounts. Each account: |
|
- Is secure and isolated from all other accounts |
|
- Has its own set of users |
|
- Has its own set of units (digitizers & RABbits) |
|
- Has its own set of projects |
 |
An account can have many projects, both active and inactive. Each project: |
|
- Project settings |
|
- Email settings |
|
- Report settings |
 |
A project can have multiple units deployed in it |
 |
A unit can be actively deployed to a single project |
|
|
|
|
Client / Server Architecture |
 |
The RABbit acts as client uploading data, status, analysis and events to server and downloading new config files and software updates |
 |
User computer running EMC acts as client to configure and visualize data and reports |
 |
Server acts as server and stores all the unit status, analysis and optionally data. If data offloading and archiving is a primary concern, then hosting an in-house server is preferred |
|
Information Availability |
 |
Data is uploaded from seismograph to server via the RABbit All status, analysis and data are stored on the server, not on user’s computers |
 |
Once status, analysis and data are on the server, it is available to the EMC users |
|
|

|
The EMC Server Suite is a series of programs that (1) receive status, analysis, and seismic data from the field, and (2) monitor user logins/logoffs and control access to the various accounts and projects.
|
|
Seismograph Options
|
|
The Seismic Cloud System utilizes instruments from the Seismic Source line of seismographs, so each system can be customized for any need or situation:
|

|
Sigma 3+: Three channels and field rugged
|

|
Sigma 4+: 3 or 4 channels with internal sensors and batteries
|

|
DAQ3-3: Three channels for permanent installation
|

|
DAQlink 4: 24 channels and high samples rates
|

|
DX-6: 1 to 6 channels with space for user options
|
|
All of these seismographs use any sensor, and can be configured with geophones, accelerometers or hydrophones
