ABSTRACT:
An improved cableless seismic digital recording system is disclosed which records seismic-trace data generated by any type of seismic source, including high energy impulsive seismic sources, such as dynamite, and low energy surface seismic sources, such as vibrators and hammers. A seismometer, or geophone, is connected to a remotely deployed radio-controlled portable recorder which contains circuitry for sampling, digitizing, processing, storing, and recording seismic-trace data. Coded radio signals instruct each recorder to commence an operation or sequence of operations from a predetermined set of programmed instructions stored in program read only memory included in each recorder. Such operations include seismic-trace data acquisition; optional weighting and vertical stacking (summing); normalization; recording; and seismic source initiation.
