  Seismology Applications 

Symmetric Research products are well suited for many applications in the field of seismology. Current customers are using our A/D systems world wide to investigate teleseismic events, study volcanoes, research crustal structure, monitor active mines, instrument historic buildings, and educate the public about earthquakes. And these are only a few of the many possible geophysical applications.

Our precision data acquisition systems have 24 bit A/D converters providing high resolution and large dynamic range with programmable sampling rates. The systems are well suited for earthquake studies at 100-200 Hz, for mine rock burst studies at 3-5 kHz, and for many other applications. The low price means field operations can deploy more units for better coverage.

Among the supported software of interest to geophysical users are:
 

 
Scope is a Windows GUI program for acquiring, displaying, and saving data. It allows you to set the sampling rate. A command line version is also available. The View program allows playback and review of previously acquired Scope data files. See our USBxCH and PARxCH products for more info.

These SR programs come with free source code.

Earthworm is a public domain collection of program modules for acquiring, processing, and saving earthquake data that has become popular with many geophysicists. The SrParxchEwSend module runs under Windows and Linux and sends PARxCH acquired data to Earthworm. See our Earthworm Compatibility page for more info.
 
Seismic Unix (SU) is an extensive public domain collection of Linux-based reflection, migration, and general signal processing programs which is popular with many exploration geophysicists. TKSU is an extension to SU for graphical process flow control making SU even easier to use. See our Seismic Unix Compatibility page for more info.
