StrataVisor NZXP Seismograph

Seismic Products

The StrataVisor NZXP is a high-performance exploration seismic system in a compact, weatherproof chassis. The NZXP can operate as a field PC, as a stand-alone seismic recorder with 3 to 64 internal channels. The NZXP expands easily to larger channel systems by connecting other NZ seismographs or lightweight Geode modules. This flexibility lets you collect data for all applications in all environments – you can even rent extra channels when needed.

Examine your data at all phases of acquisition to ensure data quality. Customizable windows show real-time noise monitor, amplitude spectra and seismic traces so you see problems instantly. A log file keeps track of all parameter changes and customizable alarms alert you to critical issues. You can even do preliminary processing in the field with industry-leading reflection, refraction and tomography software included with every system.

The StrataVisor NZXP console includes a brilliant daylight-visible color screen, waterproof keypad and built-in printer. Low-power circuitry and a standby mode extend battery life and reduce weight.

The StrataVisor NZ is backed by a 2 year parts and labor warranty. All this from a company with factory trained service centers world wide and over 35 years of superior support to geoscience professionals.

  • Built-in networking
  • Temperatures to 60oC
  • Low-power color screen
  • Enhanced line and geophone testing

Features:
  • Get the best data: professional, ruggedized 24 bit seismic recorder suitable for all seismic surveys: reflection, refraction, downhole, VSP, marine or monitoring.
  • Flexible configurations: houses from 3 to 64 channels. Expands seamlessly up to 1000 channels by connecting Geode in-field distributed modules or connecting other NZs
  • Works in all conditions: Military-grade CPU, shock-mounted chassis, reliable in harsh environments, operates in extreme temperatures, humidity and dust. Exceeds MIL 810E vibration spec.
  • Widest bandwidth: 20 kHz bandwidth (0.02 ms to 16 ms sampling) for ultra-high resolution engineering surveys or recording low frequencies for earthquake monitoring.
  • Field friendly: brilliant full-sun-visible color screen and built-in plotter - available also as rugged field computer without seismic channels.
  • Put your client at ease: built-in geophone and line testing, full waveform noise monitor. Optional automated internal in-field instrument testing and enhanced geophone and line diagnostics.
  • Use any source: Sub-sample trigger ensures accurate stacking; hardware correlator eliminates delays with Vibroseis or pseudo-random Mini-Sosie sources.

Software to facilitate ALL applications:

  • Reflection (included)
  • Refraction (included, operates directly on seismograph)
  • Downhole, crosshole, vertical seismic profiling (optional)
  • Event triggering for earthquakes, microseismic, blast monitoring and surveillance (optional, runs on seismograph)
  • Marine survey management (optional, runs on seismograph)
  • Continuous recording, GPS synchronization (optional, runs on seismograph)
  • Vibroseis, pseudo-random sources (optional, runs on seismograph)
  • Passive and active surface-wave surveys (included, runs on seismograph)

Configurations:

 You can order your StrataVisor NZ in the following configurations:

1.  Stand-alone field PC with no seismic channels installed. 

The StrataVisor NZ can operate as a rugged field PC, to process data or just to control other peripherals. 

2. Controller for Geode in-field distributed modules.

You can connect up to 4 lines of Geode distributed modules  to the StrataVisor NZ. The NZ comes with ruggedized, waterproof network connectors attached to the side

3. Single seismograph with 4 to 128 built-in seismic channels.

With an A/D chassis, you can have up to 64 channels in a portable container. Add an expansion chassis and build a rack-mount system with up to 128 internal channels.

4.  Multiple StrataVisor NZ seismographs controller from one keypad
You can connect multiple NZ seismographs together and control them from one keypad. This allows you to collaborate with other institutions that own NZ's.

5.  All of the above!

Note that you can combine the above combinations as well – a StrataVisor NZ with internal channels can also control external Geode modules, connect to other StrataVisor NZ's etc.

1 Consult a Geometrics applications specialist to discuss your application to make sure that the configuration that you choose best suits the range of applications that you might have. Specifications may vary depending on configuration.

Software:

MGOS Basic Package

The StrataVisor NZ comes standard with MGOS operating software. This allows operation of all internal channels and will also control external Geode in-field modules and other A/D channels located in other NZ chassis. Consult a Geometrics applications specialist to ensure that you are ordering software that is appropriately configured for your system.

Bundled Applications Software

The StrataVisor NZ comes standard with industry-leading applications software to help you get the most from your StrataVisor NZ seismograph. The applications software will help you analyze and process your data so you get in-field answers quickly for yourself and your clients.

 There are two kinds of software included: applications that can be 'launched' from within the seismograph acquisition program and software that operates 'stand-alone' on your PC. All applications software packages are fully functional for analyzing your data, but usually limit the amount of data that can analyzed. More complete packages are available with additional features from Geometrics. Included with the StrataVisor NZ:

  • SIPQC refraction analysis software. Delay-time refraction software. Operates on seismograph.
  • SeisImager refraction and modeling software. Operates on seismograph. 
  • WinSeis-TURBO reflection processing software (StrataVisor NX and NZ only)

Optional Applications Packages

Real-time on-screen help is available through Microsoft NETMEETING and your high speed Internet connection.
