Shallow Buried Array

Sigma, REFTEK and iMSR-24 acquires microseismic data to provide the widest aperture and highest sampling. Designed with TI's chip to get the ultra-high resolution ADC with PGA for Seismic and Energy Exploration. While the iMSR-24 is a 24-bit digital data acquisition system. The standard configuration includes an oyo-geospace geophone providing three channels of geophone data.  Each channel employs an exceptionally low noise 4th-order Delta-Sigma modulator together with a programmable digital filter. This gives an effective noise-free resolution greater than 23 bits at 250 samples per second.


It is capable of running its own GPS module and saving up to 32 GB of data on a non-volatile flash internal memory. The GPS module generates one pulse per second that is used to time stamp each data reading with a precision of better than 1 us. It also can be equipped with an internal rechargeable battery to avoid any interruption of data acquisition during power outage, which provides a stable platform that may be easily deployed in harsh environments.
