    The yellow LED indicates if sampling is on or off The Power Supply The Terraloc Pro 2 can use an external power source as well as internal batteries as power supply. The external source can be a battery or a PSU (Power Supply Unit). If possible use the supplied cable set for the external power source.

    Should more channels be needed than can be supplied by the use of a single instrument, it is possible to connect (virtually) any number of Terraloc Pro 2 instruments. The Arm, Disarm, and Trigger events can be synchronized with interconnected instruments. The TTL Arm/Trig connector is used to connect the instruments, see chapter 10.2.

You will need no more equipment than the instrument itself and the power supply. However, before starting any fieldwork it is wise to invest time to go through and familiarize yourself with the various menus, dialogs and options that exist.

    ABEM Terraloc Pro 2 Using SeisTW SeisTW is a normal computer program and using the program with external keyboard and mouse is like using any other program for Windows or Linux. However using the built-in keyboard naturally brings with it some limitations. Some measures have been taken within SeisTW to remedy this and the rest of this chapter explains some of the more general of these measures.

  • Page 50 ABEM Terraloc Pro 2 Figure 42 The Acquisition Setup Dialog; Trig tab selected Setting Description Trig input - Selects trig input source, and its mode mode The following modes are available: Name Description Analog When using the trigger input connector, the instrument is triggered when the signal exceeds the trig input level on the analog trig input.
  • Page 51 Increasing the trigger input level increases the sensitivity, which means that a lower signal level is needed to trig the Terraloc Pro 2. Decreasing the trigger input level on the other hand decreases the sensitivity, which means that a higher signal level is needed to trig the Terraloc Pro 2.
  • Page 52 ABEM Terraloc Pro 2 increased, the result is of course an earlier trig event, but increasing the sensitivity also means that the risk of triggering the system by a noise signal increases. If the sensitivity is too low, noise triggering will not occur, but instead a considerable and poorly defined delay is introduced.

    ABEM Terraloc Pro 2 The seismic reflection method has mainly been used for deep investigations (depth > 30 m) in oil prospecting. During recent years however, shallow reflection investigations have become common for engineering and environmental purposes. It is now an important complement to refraction investigations, and has even sometimes replaced refraction.

    ABEM Terraloc Pro 2 Vibroseis Vibroseis is a seismic method in which a vibrator is used as an energy source to generate a controlled wave train, instead of the usual impulsive sources (e.g. hammer, explosives, shot guns, etc.). This method requires recording of the source signal for reference.
