Conditional updating method and apparatus associated with a microcomputer system for automatically indicating and recording parameters that spatially define locations of seismic exploration spread and source arrays

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for conditionally updating source-detector array parameters related to a seismic exploration system, especially during generation and collection of seismic data using a vibratory source detector array positioned at known locations along a line of survey at the earth's surface. The updated array and source parameter are generated as bits of digital data in a microcomputer system of a ground position controller housed in a recording truck associated with the exploration system of interest.
