  1. Portable Broadband Seismology Part 3: Data Acquisition System Overview Jakarta, Indonesia May 11-13, 2006 Bruce Beaudoin Marcos Alvarez Additional thanks to Joseph Steim for use of his slides

  2. Modern Seismic Technology • Inter-networked Digital Communications • Robust Multiple Telemetry Paths • Central Administration and Data Collection • Rapid, Reliable Reporting of Information for Disaster Mitigation. • High Dynamic Range • Portable, Lightweight, Easy to Use

  3. QUANTERRA ® Q330 Data Engine

  4. Overview of Q330 features • 24-bit A/D • 3 or 6 channels (sensor ports A&B) • Average power requirement of about 1W, including a power-cycled recorder • Internal GPS engine with external antenna • VCO is frequency-adjusted to GPS phase lock loop • Samples & sends multiplexed, time-stamped UDP packets to a Data Processor (DP) through one of 4 logical data ports: • 1,2 - serial or Ethernet telemetry • 3 - SOH check by local operator • 4 - Baler • Also 1 control port for programming/commands (Willard) • Communicates by UDP/IP • Web server (provides links to DP webserver) • Digitizes sensor and SOH streams

  5. Q330 Hardware Block Diagram

  6. Q330 Design Philosophy

  7. “Old Fashioned” Hub-and-Spoke Users

  8. Quanterra Multiple Connectivity

  9. Data Port Concept • Four ports are available • Each Data Port is an independent collection of channels and sample rates • Each Data Port can use its own SEED channel names or even Station Code • Connection to a Data Port is by IP socket, multiple Data Ports can use the same interface, e.g. ethernet or Serial.

  10. Q330 - Network friendly • Friendly to Automated Processing. Pure IP • Friendly to Remote Maintenance, Configuration, and Network Management • Intra and Internet-Ready Security • Simple Field and Data Center Management and Setup Procedures, analogous to IP itself • Based on modern IP model, not a “dumb” device, e.g. connected through a serial link

  11. QUANTERRA ® Baler 14

  12. Overview of Baler14 • Power cycled DP & data storage unit (19GB) • Demultiplexes Q330 packets and writes 4096Kb miniSEED files • MS DOS OS • Web server • File transfer by http (10baseT) • Q330 manages Baler: • Assigns IP address • Passes recording parameters • Manages most power cycling • Runs in acquisition (power cycled) or vacuum (download/continuously powered) modes

  13. Q330 Timing: Clocks • Internal Clocks • Time of day clock - keeps rough time when Q330 power is off. Runs on an internal battery. • Temperature Compensated Voltage Controled Crystal Oscillator (TCVCXO) • Nominal drift of 0.1ppm (<1ms/day)

  14. Q330 Timing: Clocks • External Clock • Q330 has a Motorola M12 GPS engine on-board • Default is to power up every 3 hours • Adjusts TCVCXO oscillation rate to reduce phase error between GPS 1Hz pulse and TCVCXO 1Hz • Stays powered up until phase difference of <5µsec is maintained for 1 minute before powering off the GPS • The Q330 retains the last measured phase error before turning off the GPS and applies this constant time correction to all records acquired will GPS is off/unlocked.

  15. Q330 Timing: Time Stamps • Data is packaged into 1 second data records that are sent to a data processor (DP) • Each record includes a time stamp consisting of: • Sequence number ≈ seconds since last power-up • Seconds of offset since January 1, 2000 of last power-up • µsec offset from the current second • Q330 also sends • A clock status bitmap • Minutes since GPS lock was lost • Clock phase loop status • The baler (DP) queries the Q330 for FIR filter delays and construct the time stamp for the data records using:

  16. Baler and miniseed • Once the baler has calculated the time stamp for the data packets it creates 4096 byte miniseed files. • The baler uses the best timed 1sec data packet to extrapolate the time for the first sample in a miniseed record • The baler also determines a clock quality parameter and writes it to the miniseed header • 100% = clock is LOCKED • 90% = clock is TRACKING, 3D fix and adjusting TCVCXO • 80% = GPS just powered up • 10-60% = HOLD, GPS is off. Quality decreases by 1% every 10 minutes • 0% - GPS clock has not locked since Q330 power up

  17. Typical Timing CycleLCE & LCQ channels

  18. SOH Channels • ACE VCO quality expressed as SEED Timing blockettes (500) • LCE Absolute clock phase error (1 sec / count) • LCQ Clock quality times series (1 % / count) • LOG State of health, status and timing messages • OCF Q330 configuration expressed as SEED opaque data blockettes • VCO VCO control voltage (150 mV / count) • VEA GPS antenna current (1 mA / count) • VEC System current (1 mA / count) • VEP Input voltage (150 mV / count) • VKI System temperature (1 C / count) • VMU Boom position of Z or U component (100 mV / count) • VMV Boom position of N or V component (100 mV / count) • VMW Boom position of N or W component (100 mV / count) • VPB Buffer usage (0.1% / count)
