The SeisImager software package is supplied (1) for trial evaluation of the programs, (2) for purchase, rental, or upgrade of one of the programs, or (3) with purchase of a Geode, ES-3000, or StrataVisor NZ seismograph, which all include the Lite version of SeisImager/2D. 

1.0 Installation Instructions

1. Click here to download the installer file SeisImager_e_wt_0407.msi. NOTE: The software is compatible with Windows NT, 2000, and XP. You must have Administrator rights to install and use the software and only that Administrator user can use the software. Multiple users and users with lower level privileges will be allowed in a future release. In the meantime, if this is a problem, users of SeisImager/2D and/or SeisImager/SW-1D must use the June 2005 version instead. Please contact us at seismicsales@geometrics.com for more information.

2. Double click on the file to install the program. The Welcome to the SeisImager_e Setup Wizard window will appear as follows.           

a) If you are presented with the option to Repair SeisImager_e or Remove SeisImager_e, the installer has detected an older version. Select Remove SeisImager_e and click on Finish, then Close after the uninstall process is complete. Double click again on the file SeisImager_e_wt.msi to install the new version as described in Step 2b.

b) If an older version is not detected, you will be presented with the installer. Click on Next, indicate the directory for installation (use the default directory), click on Next, Next, and Close.                                                                                      

3. To copy the SeisImager manuals and sample data to your hard drive (will require about 150 Mb), select the folders SeisImager2D_Manual, Refraction_Example_Data, and SurfaceWave_Example_Data and copy to your hard drive in the desired location. Note that the SeisImager2D_Manual folder contains .avi video clips that must reside in the same location as the files SeisImager2D_Manual_vX.X.pdf and SeisImager2D_Examples_vX.X.pdf (where X.X is the current version). For a copy of the SeisImager/SW manual, please contact us at seismicsales@geometrics.com or support@geometrics.com.
4. You will need Adobe's freeware program Acrobat Reader to view the manual files. If you need this program, go to the Adobe website to download the latest version compatible with your operating system.

2.0 Getting Started

1. To register, go to the Start menu, under All Programs, SeisImager to find the SeisImager Registry.  If you are using the software on a trial basis, skip to Step 2. Open the registry and email the keyword shown to seismicsales@geometrics.com or support@geometrics.com and we will reply with a registration password to enable the version of the software you have purchased. Typically, upgrading does not require re-registration, but if you are upgrading from a version older than December 2006, you will need to re-register. Once registered, the program modules can be opened directly through the desktop icons shown below or through the links in the SeisImager Start menu folder.

SeisImager/2D consists of the Pickwin and Plotrefa modules. SeisImager/SW-1D consists of the Pickwin and WaveEq modules. SeisImager/SW-2D consists of the Pickwin, WaveEq, and GeoPlot modules. The Surface Wave Analysis Wizard is not a separate module but automatically calls on specific functions from Pickwin, WaveEq, and GeoPlot to walk you through the analysis process. All of the icons will be shown regardless of which program you have purchased.

2. Double click on the module icons for the program you have purchased or are using on a trial basis, starting with Pickwin. If you have installed for the first time, a prompt will ask you to choose English or Japanese, choose English. To register the language selection, the modules must be closed and reopened. If you are using the software on a trial basis, after selecting the language you will be presented with registration dialog boxes. Leave the password fields empty and click OK, OK. Then close and reopen the modules to register the language selection. The language selection must be registered for each module and must be registered before using the Surface Wave Analysis Wizard. 
   
3. Refer to the SeisImager manuals on how to start your data analysis.
