ABSTRACT:
A seismic communications system including a central control and recording station and a plurality of remote data acquisition stations, the stations being approximately in line and connected to each other by one or two transmission lines. One line is all that is necessary if the central station is at one end of the line of stations; however, if the central station has some acquisition stations upstream and some downstream therefrom, two lines are required. Coded central strobe bursts put on a transmission line at the central station successively cause insertion of digital seismic data from successively more remote acquisition stations, the data being time slotted after each central station strobe burst so that reverse transmissions do not interfere with subsequent signal propagations emanating from the central station. Twin lead is preferably used for the transmission lines. Power shut down, except for a pilot receiver, is accomplished at each acquisition station between recording cycles.
