ABSTRACT:
A real time seismic telemetry system includes a central station (10) for communication with a plurality of remote data acquistion units (14). The command station (10) has a command unit (34) for controlling the operation of a transmitter (40) for providing instructions to the data acquistion units (14). The data acquistion units (14) receive the data on a receiver (80) and process the data in a logic control circuit (88). Remote data is picked up with a hydrophone (30) and converted to digital data for transmission through a transmitter (78) which is tuned to a discrete channel for each data acquistion unit (14). The command station (10) has a PCM receiver (62) tuned to each of the channels for demodulating the data stream therefrom. A digital receiver (66) is provided for synchronizing and processing the data. The digital receiver (66) synchronizes both to the bit rate and to the beginning and ending of the digital word such that data contained in the digital word can be multiplexed onto a data bus (68). The data bus (68) is controlled by an external storage/control (70) for storage of the data from all of the digital receivers (66) for all of the discrete channels.
