RE: Sensor box SD card
G-864
Rui Zhang
3 years ago
3 Relevance
The reason why the tablet lost connection with the sensor is because the G-864 WIFI has no internet access. The tablet will try to switch to another WIFI with internet access and Disconnect from the G-864. To prevent this from happening, in the warning window of the tablet, select "don't ask again for this network" and click "Yes". Please remember to do this after you have used the tablet to access the internet.

Geometrics instruments, such as G-864, MagEx, MagArrow, MagStation et al, communicate with a mobile device via WIFI. But because the instrument WIFI has NO internet access, some Android device, after connecting to the instrument for a while, will automatically start searching for another WIFI access point. To prevent this from happening, when the No Internet Access warning window pops up after first WiFi connection, choose "Tap for options". On the following window, check the “Don’t ask again for this network” Box and press “Yes” .

RE: Rs232 Comms to maggy
G-882
Lynn Edwards

I have set up a G-882 system here at Geometrics and am receiving data and sending commands using TeraTerm (any terminal emulation program should work). When in normal use mode the Digital add on board sits in front of the G-882 and parses and acts on all commands coming in. There are two versions of the Digital Add On board, which are the GP120 and the GP140. The GP140 is a newer version of the Digital Add ON board. It is the GP140 Digital board that outputs all S/N (and other) information. I first set up with the GP140 board (the newer version). I find that the ""RESET" command does work - i.e. it goes into BYPASS mode for a couple seconds, then output the S/N and configuration information, and reverts to normal operation with the Digital depth and altimeter information. But it only works every other time I send it. The first time nothing happens. Then I send it again and it works. This appears to be a bug in the GP140. For some commands the first command after power up or reset are ignored. The second time (and subsequent commands) are executed. The work around seems to be sending the RESET command twice. I also tried an older G-882 with the GP120 Digital board. The Reset (and other commands worked first time and every time. BTW, the Digital Board version is in the second line with the S/N information that is sent on power up or Reset. Some questions: 1) My configuration is one G-882 connected to a PC through the white junction Box. Is this your configuration, or do you have concatenated G-882's? 2) Can you get the G-882 to accept any commands (like going into Bypass Mode)? I'm wondering if there is a open link in the command line from the PC to the Digital board.

Why is the vector sum of 3 compass readings so different from the MFAM reading?
Application
Rui Zhang
2 years ago
2 Relevance
If the compass readings are accurate and its 3 axes are perfectly orthogonal to each other, the vector sum of 3 compass readings (x,y,z) should be very close to the MFAM reading, assuming the local gradient is small. However, due to two main reasons, very often customers find a big Difference between the vector sum and the MFAM reading. 1. The compass inside the MFAM driver Box is NOT a top-rated vector magnetometer, in terms of reading accuracy and axis orthogonality. A top-rated vector magnetometer, capable of producing good vector sum readings, costs thousands of dollars and is much bigger in size. 2. The compass is integrated on the MFAM driver board, which has many magnetic components. The magnetic field at the compass location is altered by these magnetic components. Although the compass doesn't generate good absolute readings, its relative angle measurement (related to the reading repeatability) is good enough to be used for maneuver noise (heading effect) compensation.

You can use the tape.exe application that was installed on your computer when you installed the Seismodule program. Read in the SEG-file, convert it to ASCII by selecting the File menu and Convert to ASCII. Check the Box to convert to mV. Once you have converted the waveform to ASCII voltages, you can multiply by the sensitivity of the geophone to recover true ground amplitudes. Download Tape Reader. IMPORTANT - Be sure to back up your data files before running this program.

You will need to test the magnetometer on the dry deck or in your shop. Connect the G882 Directly to the junction Box and use the black power supply Geometrics provided. Verify operation. If working go to step 4. If the magnetometer is not working, then there is a hardware failure. There is nothing that can be done in the field at this point. Arrange to send it in by requesting an RMA number from our RMA page. If the magnetometer is working then "dies" it would be useful to have the data from the "diagnostic survey". Review this document: Diagnostic Surveys for CM221 Counter Equipped Magnetometers r-2. Connect on board power supply (if Different than the supply already checked) Verify operation. If it fails record Diagnostic Survey. If working proceed. Connect Deck cable (if applicable). Verify operation. If it fails record Diagnostic Survey. If working proceed. Connect Tow Cable. Verify operation. If it fails record Diagnostic Survey. If working proceed. Deploy magnetometer under normal configuration. Begin a Diagnostic Survey. If the mag doesn't work under tow then there is a problem with the tow cable/interconnections. Please take these steps and record the data when a failure occurs. (Best to record data all the time and then when it fails send the data to our Support Team, you can contact them through the support contact form. Make sure you are specific as to the conditions/configuration if/when it failed.)

Choosing the Right Lithium Polymer Battery for your MagArrow
Hardware
Gretchen Sch...
3 years ago
2 Relevance
The MagArrow uses a 3 cell Lithium Polymer battery to power the MagArrow during surveys. The two main requirements for the battery are that it must fit into the battery compartment, and it must be nonmagnetic. Non-Magnetic Batteries: Some types of Lithium Polymer batteries are extremely magnetic. This is because the cell-to-cell connections are made with nickel strips (nickel is extremely magnetic). This makes them unsuitable for use in the MagArrow since they will interfere with the background magnetic field that is being measured. Whether or not the batteries are magnetic is not something that appears on the data sheet, so it is important to choose batteries of a particular construction form factor that in practice has been shown to have a very low magnetic signature. Examples of this battery type will be shown below. There are many brand names for this battery type, and the brand names seems to change frequently. Evaluating the Magnetic Properties of a Battery: Batteries should be measured for magnetic signature before using them. This is especially true when trying a new battery brand just to be sure the battery is not going to affect the survey data. To perform this test you will need to start a survey with a stationary MagArrow pointing north-south on a nonmagnetic platform (wooden sawhorses, cardboard Box, etc). Hold the battery to be tested immediately over the battery compartment and rotate it in all orientations. Download the data and look for variations in the magnetic field that correlate with the battery rotation. There shouldn't be any correlation above 1 nT peak to peak. Make sure the operator is nonmagnetic when doing this test (shoes, belts, watches, cell phones, keys, etc. can all corrupt the results). Battery Size and Shape: The correct batteries are rectangular in shape and measure roughly 105x34x24mm. They are made from 3 flat cells stacked up measuring 11.1 volts nominal. They should be between 1800 and 2200 mAh (milliamp-hour). Higher capacity batteries will not physically fit in the battery compartment. Lower capacity batteries will work, but with a reduced run time. One 1800 mAh battery will run the MagArrow for about two hours. The MagArrow power connector is XT-60 so the battery must match. There are other power connector types, but XT-60 is commonly used. The 4-pin balance port connector is a JST-XH4 connector (though this is standard on most batteries). Where to Find Batteries: If you are in an area that doesn't have strict controls on shipping Lithium Polymer batteries, then Amazon.com is a good source. Another good source is hobby stores, or anyplace that sells radio-controlled toy cars, boats, or airplanes. This is typically where this style of battery is used the most. What do the Battery Specifications Mean? 3S: This means it is a stack of three Li-Po cells Voltage: A fully charged 3 cell Li-Po battery measures 12.6 volts. A depleted battery will measure 9.6 volts. Thus, the voltage for this battery is typically labeled as 11.1 volt (the average of 12.6 and 9.6 volts. 35C (or any other "C" value): This is a rating on how much current can be safely drawn from the battery. To get the value in amps, take the milliamp-hour rating and Divide by 1000 (to get amp-hours), and then multiply by the "C" value. For a 2200 mAh battery with a 35C rating multiply the 2.2 amp-hour capacity (2200 mAh / 1000) times the C value of 35, which gives a maximum Discharge current of 77 amps. The MagArrow draws about 0.6 amps, so any C value is fine - even if is down to 0.5. Battery Chargers: Most battery chargers being sold now are universal chargers which support a variety of rechargeable battery chemistries and output connectors. They come in many sizes and shapes, but most of them operate identically because the internal circuitry is the same. Most chargers will charge at a much faster rate than the MagArrow Discharges them, so you technically only need two batteries in the field. A nice feature to look for is the ability to power the charger off 12V as well as with AC power. This will allow charging in the field off a car battery. Be sure to charge in batteries in "Balanced Charge" mode using the battery balance JST-XH connector. This allows more charge current into cells that are more deeply Discharged than the others and ensures that the battery gets all three cells completely charged. Battery Safety: Lithium Polymer batteries are small and light but store a tremendous amount of energy inside. This is good for running equipment for long periods of time between charges, but it also means that if something goes wrong and it releases all its energy at once it can be a serious fire hazard. Never charge a lithium battery unattended, charge only in a fireproof location. Batteries that are swollen or damaged should not be used. Dispose of these per local regulations. Be sure to follow all regulations for shipping or hand carrying Li-Po batteries. This may include packaging and labeling requirements, limiting the number of batteries, and Discharging the batteries to 30% capacity before shipping. Do not Discharge the battery below 9.6 volts (3.2 volts per cell). This damages the battery and could result in destructive decomposition and fire. If a battery that is Discharged below a safe level is placed on the battery charger it will refuse to charge it. Batteries that are Discharged below 9.6V should be removed from service and Disposed of according to local regulations. To download a copy of this document as a PDF, click here.

2 Relevance
The US Department of Commerce category for the cesium-vapor magnetometers listed in this quotation is ECCN 6A006. It is necessary to obtain a US export license before a magnetometer in this category can be shipping to most countries. If an export license is required, Geometrics Export Administrator will assist you in applying for this license. The export license process takes around 6 weeks, and we are not able to speed up that processes as it is the time the US Government takes to review the export license requests. A license is required for both renting and purchasing the MagArrow, so we are not able to send you the equipment for your use until we receive it. An Export License is NOT required for shipment of cesium-vapor magnetometers to the following countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, South Korea, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. (Updated April 2019) Export or re-export of the quoted items to Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Rwanda, Sudan, and Syria is prohibited by the US Dept. of Commerce as these are embargoed countries. The MagArrow-SX is a special version of the MagArrow that has a reduced sensitivity in Order to comply with US regulations and does not require an export license.

The MFAM Development Kit is usually set to a fixed address of 192.168.2.2 (port 1000). The Ethernet port on the Windows PC must also be switched from DHCP to a fixed IP Address mode in Order to connect to the Dev Kit. The procedure for doing this is described in the Dev Kit User Guide. If there are more than one Dev Kits connecting through an Ethernet switch they cannot have the same address. Therefore it is possible to set the Dev Kit IP address to something other than the default. 192.168.2.3 and 192.168.2.4 firmware are included in the USB drive shipped with Dev Kit and can be downloaded here: For other IPs, please contact Geometrics or reply to this post.

What is Snell's Law
General Seismograph Info
Gretchen Sch...

2 Relevance
Snell’s Law describes quantitatively how wave fronts refract or "bend" at boundaries between contrasting velocities. You've seen it manifest in light waves by the apparent bend of the straw in your glass of water; light travels slower in water than it does in air. Refraction is well illustrated using Huygen's Principle. Consider a wave front (for our purposes, a seismic one) emanating from a point energy source, as shown in the animation above. For simplification, assume we are far enough from the energy source that the wave front is essentially planar, and is approaching an abrupt change in seismic velocity: Applying Huygen's Principle, we see that after time t, the plane wave has advanced a Distance d equal to the radii of a series of spherical wave fronts emanating from the plane wave: The radii of the spheres, i.e., the Distance the plane wave travels in time t, is equal to V1t. The tangent to the spherical wave fronts is the new position of the plane wave. The planar wavefront continues at velocity V1. Again applying Huygen, we see that "every point on the wave front" (see Discussion of Huygen above) includes the points where the wave front intersects the velocity boundary: As the planar wave front advances, the velocity boundary becomes a new source of spherical wave fronts expanding at V2. Hence, part of the plane wave (the tangent to the spherical wave fronts emanating from the velocity boundary) is now traveling at V2. Note that within V2, its Direction of advance has changed. This is because in V2, which is higher than V1, Huygen's spheres grow faster during time t. The refracted wave front continues in the new Direction until another velocity boundary is encountered. Here is a simplified version at higher speed: Zooming out, we see the effect of this on a spherical wave: It should be obvious from the above that in Order for a wave front to refract, it must strike the velocity boundary at an angle other than 90 degrees. It should also be obvious that in the case of V2 < V1, refraction will be in the opposite Direction, and if V1 = V1, no refraction will occur. Snell's Law quantifies refraction in terms of angle of incidence and velocity contrast. Combining the above Diagrams and adding rays, we can now describe Snell's Law: In the figure above, i is the incident angle, and r is the refracted angle, measured between the ray and a line perpendicular to the refracting interface. In the example above, the velocity contrast is positive; V2 > V1. There are numerous derivations of Snell's Law on the web if you wish to understand the math. From the equation, you can see that for any given positive velocity contrast, as i increases, r increases faster: This is important; it is the property of refraction that allows us to use refracted energy to measure subsurface velocities. Conversely, a negative velocity contrast results in refraction in the opposite Direction:
