DoReMi Seismograph

The DoReMi is a digital transmission geophone string

designed to give the maximum flexibility for all
geophysical surveys; made of miniaturized and
independent units, it distributes all the electronics along
the seismic line.
You can use DoReMI for?
Refraction
Refraction and Microtremor (ReMi)
M!", !!"
Reflection
#o$nhole, %ross&ole, 'p&ole
(ractically any )ind of seismic survey is not only
possible but easy $ith the DoReMi.
What is its dynamic range?
The innovative architecture of the DoReMi
seismograph offers an exceptional signal*to*noise ratio
and noise immunity reaching a total dynamic range of
155dB allo$ing for refraction surveys over +, meters in
length shooting $ith an easy to manage - pound sledge
hammer.
Acquisition software:
The soft$are used for the data collection runs on
"indo$s and "indo$s Mobile. /t manages the system
parameters such as state of health, channels gain,
do$nload, graphic, first arrival pic)ing, export,
stac)ing, and reassignement, and merges bet$een
channel and shoots.
What analysis software can be used?
The program generates seismic files $ith SEG-2 and
SEG-Y format so you can use most modern analysis
soft$are.
What kind of geophones will it accept?
Any kind of geophopne used for geophysical purposes
can be used $ith the DoReMi. 0very channel is
e1uipped $ith a standard input. 2or maximum
performance $e recommend using 3eospace 3!44#
5.6&z 5)7 geophones.
What is the recording sampling rate and time length?
The DoReMi has an independent memory unit for each
channel capable of storing up to 30000 samp!es. The
sampling rates are programmable from 5 to 0"05
mi!!iseconds, corresponding to samp!ing fre#uencies
from 200 to 20000 $%. The sampling length is
selectable from 0"1 up to &0 seconds.

9. (o$er up the seismograph interface $ith a small
lead acid 4-= battery.
5. %onnect, if needed, the trigger geophone to the
interface.
6. Reel out the geophone string along the seismic line.
>. %onnect the first channel to the interface.
+. %onnect the geophones to the channel digitizers
along the line using the split*spring connector.
<. Set up the channe! configuration on the program;
number of channels, spacing, gain factors, and
other parameters (many of these functions are
automatic).
?. Start the recording process manually (ReMi) or
energizing the ground $ith a sledge hammer
(refraction, reflection, M!"...)

DoReMi Seismograph
"ommon seismic survey strings digiti#e the signal of many geophones at a single central instrument.
f you have three seismic lines you need three entire systems. 'his increases production costs of both seismic cables and
seismic digiti#ers.
(urthermore) long analog cable the signal quality deteriorates because the cable length acts like a receiving antenna* long lines
increase the crosstalk when a channel +hears, the signal of another channel by induction.
'he $o%e&i system resolves these problems* the -" controls the entire instrument chain and its branches.
When the signal is digiti#ed near the geophone the ma.ority of the problems .ust don/t crop up.
0very element is independent. You can add or remove elements and design your topology by simply adding and or removing
additional adaptors. 0very element is equipped with a male and female connector pair for each end) and a standard takeout in
the middle.
'he -" interface can be placed anywhere along the seismic line allowing reduction in the length of an e1tension of the trigger
geophone.
$igiti#ers are housed in a robust A23 case and protected from the elements.
