More Information
Summary:A universal seismic data acquisition module includes independent environmental isolation chambers for essential signal processing circuitry and for cable connection unions. Cable connection unions are rapidly replaced without opening the main protective chamber. Different connector types required for the many data transmission cable designs needed to service a wide range of survey conditions are more easily accommodated than in conventional single chamber designs. The module is rugged and suitable for operating in a wide range of physical environments including lake or sea immersion to substantial water depths, desert, arctic and others. Need for investment in multiple module types for varying survey conditions is thereby reduced without compromising capacity.
