- Abstract:
- Modern seismology required high resolution, multichannel data-logger able to convert from analog to digital the signals acquired by multi-components broadband seismic sensors. Due to the high performance required, the high level of specialization and customization, and the limited market, a datalogger for seismological purposes is generally very expensive. In this paper we present a new 24 bit, 8 channels, 0.6 μV resolution data-logger called KRONOS, specifically designed for seismological applications and extensive use in seismic monitoring network. Project specifications are defined and laboratory test performed to determine the real resolution of the data-logger. The depth of knowledge of our data-logger performance, can allow us to configure it as best as possible as function of the input sensors, time to time, deciding the best compromise between sampling frequency and resolution as number of bits.
