The vibrator control system consists of universal devices each of which is able to work in two modes:
The main functions in the Encoder mode:
The device controls a seismic vibrator.
The main functions in the Decoder mode:
The force-time relation is shown in percent. |
Vibrators group management sequence:
To support thease objectives GDS-II® is equiped with modern radio and navigation devices.
The control system uses the following radio devices:
Radio modems provide radio net between the Encoder and Decoders through Radio.
Three types of data transmitting are supported::
The control system allows working in poor radio signal conditions (signal/noise 10 – 20 dB depending on the transmission speed). The radio transmitted PSS data are at the same time recorded to the Decoder NVRAM and can be read later over the radio or cable.
Local Net is based on the built-in transceivers of the license-free range of 433-434 MHz.
Local Net provides:
Vibrators from different groups can use various frequency subranges
The control system can use built-in GPS/GLONASS receivers (JAVAD JNS 100-GG) or any other external ones working under the NMEA protocol.
In the DGPS mode, correction transmission is provided through:
When the vibrator is moving, the name of the nearest source point (SP), the distance from the SP to the vibrator, and the distance from the vibrator to the nearest center of gravity are shown on the display.
GDS-II® can set a sweep using a spectrum.
In order to do it, in the Sweep Spectrum window, you must fix/determine desired levels for 16 frequencies in the service band.
After setting the spectrum, no preparation is required, the system is ready to carry out the start of vibrators and there is no need for transmitting the Sweep Table.
The control system can use satellite navigation for the following tasks:
GDS-II® can use the built-in GPS/GLONASS receivers (JAVAD TR-G2, TR-G3) or any external ones working under the NMEA protocol.
For the DGPS mode our equipment can independently transmit differential corrections from the GPS Base Station to the vibrator by the following ways:
The base station is a equipment including a GPS receiver, voice radio station and radio modem. It can be installed in any place with the the battery-powered 12 volt. All control units have additional built-in radio modems to receive differential corrections.
Files in SEG-P1 and SPS formats are used to download source point to the control program unit coordinate.
The control program automatically recalculates coordinates obtained from the GPS receiver at any given datum, particularly in SK-42.
At the end of the work on the seismic profile the operator can generate a report which contains the coordinates of the vibrators group center. The report can be saved to the file and used in the further seismic data processing.
The important stage of seismic surveys is to assess the quality of the vibrator. There are various gauges, but the task is complicated by the fact that the behavior of the vibrator is largely determined by the parameters of the soil. That is why, to assess the quality and condition of the vibrator on the one or two points is often very difficult and sometimes impossible task. The situation is further aggravated by the fact that the soil is constantly changing its properties during the measurement.
A statistic processing of the data for a large number of source point (SP) gives more reliable assessment of vibrators.
GDS-II® system allows making a report on the PSS in a specified range of source point. The report will display the average values of the main parameters of vibrators. In addition the table with the surface position numbers will be created where the vibrator specifications do not meet the acceptable values.
