ABSTRACT:
In a seismic exploration system wherein a plurality of geophones are utilized to detect seismic waves and transduce the detected seismic waves into representative electrical signals, method and apparatus is provided whereby a plurality of remotely located geophones can be tested from a central location to determine if the remotely located geophones are operable. Leakage tests, continuity tests and levitate tests are performed on the plurality of remotely located geophones and the results of these tests are transmitted to a central location.
