1.2 General description The SN 388 is a large capacity, high resolution system designed for land seismic data acquisition. It derives its high reliability and versatility from SERCEL's unequalled experience in cable telemetry systems and from the use of the most advanced electronics and workstation technology.
INTRODUCTION CENTRAL CONTROL UNIT (CCU) PRINTER PLOTTER WORK STATION 2400 CH MODULE 2400 CH MODULE TAPE OR CARTRIDGE DRIVE 1 to 16 TERMINAL 2400 CH MODULE CENTRAL CONTROL UNIT BLOCK DIAGRAM 1.3 CENTRAL CONTROL UNIT (CCU) ™ The SN 388 Central Control Unit hardware, relying on the UNIX operating system and computing network architecture offers maximum expandability and flexibility.

INTRODUCTION CENTRAL CONTROL UNIT (CCU) ™ Expandable and powerful Ethernet data network is used to connect the HCI to the various modules. The raw or processed data are recorded on magnetic media, either a reel or a cartridge drive. Digital filtering may be performed on the recorded or playback data, to display notch- or bandpass-filtered seismic traces on a digital camera.
INTRODUCTION CENTRAL CONTROL UNIT (CCU) - Service Vehicle Tracking function. If equipped with MRU units, service vehicles appear on the survey map. They can send an alarm code to the base station and receive messages (e.g. a waypoint) from it. The trackline and identification of each tracked vehicle can be plotted on the survey map.

INTRODUCTION CENTRAL CONTROL UNIT (CCU) APM functions also include : - noise editing (Zeroing/Clipping/Diversity Stack) - correlation and stacking. The following boards are used in both the APM and PAM : Line Input/Output interface Line Controller Processor Main Process Memory Auxiliary Line Controller Tape Transport Controller SCSI Tape Transport controller...

INTRODUCTION CENTRAL CONTROL UNIT (CCU) • Minimum weight and volume. For portable dynamite operations, the PAM houses all necessary electronics to acquire 1200 Channels at 2-ms sample rate, within a 22-kg unit (0.088 m 3 ). The APM which, in addition to acquisition itself, performs correlation and stack operations, is packaged within a single 37-kg unit (0.111 m 3 ), for configurations up to 1200 Channels at 2-ms sample rate.
INTRODUCTION FIELD ELECTRONICS 1.4 FIELD ELECTRONICS The SN 388 field electronic equipment consists of units which are interconnected by electric cables. All field units are packaged into a totally waterproof aluminium casting. They have been designed to fully operate in the temperature range of -40 to + 70°...

INTRODUCTION FIELD ELECTRONICS 1.4.1 24-BIT STATION UNIT (SU) SN 388 advanced technology reduces the complete seismic channel with its 24-bit stream A/D converter to a plug-in module the size of a matchbox. The technology allowed the design of an ultra-compact SU which is field upgradable by plugging in (or out) modules.

INTRODUCTION FIELD ELECTRONICS 1.4.2 CROSSING STATION UNIT A Crossing Station Unit (CSU) is required to connect each line to the previous line or to the CCU module. A low-attenuation cable is used for this transverse connection, providing a digital link over a maximum distance of 600 m without a repeater.
SN 388 PSUs. 1.4.5 MICRO WAVE LINK The SN388 Micro-Wave Link (MWL) is used to replace an SN388 extension cable in areas where cable laying is made difficult by field obstacles such as rivers, cliffs, canyons, etc. It provides a bi-directional radio link relaying the telemetry data, the field unit power control and the telephone.

INTRODUCTION FIELD ELECTRONICS 1.4.9 TEST AND MAINTENANCE SYSTEM The TEST AND MAINTENANCE SYSTEM (TMS 388) is designed for testing or troubleshooting all types of SN 388 field units. The TMS 388 is composed of a PC micro computer, a test unit (TMU), a cable unit (TCU) used to simulate line cables, and a test signal generator (TGU).
