The new Geode seismic recorder combines the best of Geometrics'
traditional seismic recorders with the flexibility and convenience of a
distributed system. It's ideal for refraction or reflection, downhole or
VSP - even tomography surveys.
The Geode seismic modules house from 3 to 24 channels each, weigh
only 8 lbs.(3.6 kg) and interconnect using inexpensive digital network
cable. The Geode will run all day on a small 12v battery and sleeps when
not in use.
Geode architecture and Geometrics software lets you build seismic
recording systems from 3 to 1000 channels with multiple lines and
built-in roll capability. The low power Geodes even have an on-board
hardware correlator that can be used for swept sources and MiniSosie (psuedo-random)
surveys and compress data before transmission.
For light-duty applications, you can run the Geode from your laptop
to view, record, and process your data. The software interfaces to the
Geode as a simple high-speed network device, eliminating the need for
special drivers and cards. For more demanding applications where
ruggedness and reliability are key, use the Geode in combination with
Geometrics' StrataVisor NZ series seismographs.
Place a Geode module out on the line close to the geophones or well
head and eliminate long, expensive analog cables. Never hassle with poor
connections and bad roll box contacts when doing a reflection survey.
And when you are not using the Geode for exploring, use it for
monitoring earthquakes, quarry blasts or vibration from heavy equipment.
And because getting the answer is key, Geometrics bundles the Geode
with a suite of no-charge industry-standard professional software that
expands you capabilities for commercial or research applications.
