Project Specifications: Description Qty 1 ADD-ON GEODE 24-CHANNEL SEISMODULE, may be added to existing 3 StrataVisor NZ or Geode system or used as a separate unit. Includes one power cable; will require an extra set of accessories and appropriate digital interface cables. 2 EXTENDED CHANNEL MEMORY, increases the memory of each channel from the 72 standard 16K samples (N module) to 64K samples (Z module). 3 BANDWIDTH MODIFICATION for 24 channels, standard bandwidth low-end 3 modified from 1.75 Hz to DC. Note that performance of modified seismographs to published specifications is not guaranteed. 4 MULTIPLE GEODE OS (MGOS), extra license (does not include network interface 1 box). Note: may be installed as many times as needed. 5 CONTINUOUS RECORDING PACKAGE, allows continuous data acquisition during 1 user-defined period. Dataset consists of a series of contiguous or overlapping records. Trigger and trigger frequency are controlled by software and records are stamped with PC time (a GPS clock may be used to discipline trigger and synchronize with UTC). Trigger frequency may also be precisely controlled by using the Trigger Timing Interface Box. Please contact the factory to assess feasibility based on your required sample interval, record length, and number of channels. See www.geometrics.com/seismic-datasheets for complete specifications. Note: may be installed as many times as needed. 6 GPS CLOCK, Model A101 Smart Antenna from Hemisphere GPS, for use in 1 Continuous Recording systems to provide 1pps signal to trigger seismograph.
