METHOD AND DEVICE THAT WORKING TOGETHER WITH MICRO COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR THE AUTOMATIC DISPLAY AND RECORDING OF PARAMETERS OF SEISMIC EXPLORATION PLACES DISTRIBUTION AND SOURCE SPATIAL CONFIGURATION DEFINE.

摘要

In seismic exploration there is provided in association with a microcomputer system a method and apparatus for (i) selectively providing an alarm-generating digital code so as to alert an operator that the next-in- time positions of a source-detector array are the last approved locations before the recording truck location must be changed; (ii) providing a next- in-time positional code for disconnectably connecting recording circuitry to different but contiguous sets of detectors, i.e. an "active" array, from among a plurality of detectors positioned along the line of survey; and (iii) 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.
