Kinemetrics, Inc.

Kinemetrics’ ETNA accelerograph established the world’s standard for strong motion recording for almost two decades with more than 6000 installations worldwide. The ETNA 2 represents the next generation of ETNA-class accelerographs offering NEW and cost effective, web based monitoring capabilities. Internally it uses another Kinemetrics’ established world standard, the exemplary EpiSensor accelerometer.

The Quanterra PB44 Packet Baler is a modular, field-ready high-capacity recording system for the Quanterra Q330 ultralow- power high-resolution seismic data acquisition system. Using sophisticated power management, and advanced telemetry for reliable data delivery, the PB44 stores up to 32GB of ready-to-use data in internationally-standardized Federation of Digital Seismic Networks MSEED format. The MSEED data are accessible either by simple media removal, or through all-new advanced easy-to-use high-level HTTP and FTP interfaces. Deployment Modes FAST FIELD ROTATION: In this mode, the intelligent Baler module is rapidly exchanged – the operation takes about 1 minute. The recovered Baler is then off-loaded in transit to a new site or at a depot, and is prepared for the next deployment. Spares, hardware quality assurance, and rapid data recovery are all achieved in this mode with a small number of units in rotation. OR Simply replace the hot swappable media—no need to shut down the system. Media will failover to alternate when full. The flat MSEED file structure does not require special software to read the files: Linux, Solaris, MS Windows and MacOS can directly read the media. SEMI-PERMANENT TELEMETRY BACKUP: The advanced telemetry capability of the Q330 permits a Baler to be installed on site with the Q330 to record an independent data stream, including any super or subset of data telemetered from the Q330. Data recorded on the Baler may be retrieved through the remote IP link to the Q330. One link: real-time and recorded data! The Q330 supports real-time data telemetry to a central site or connection via hard-wire or radio (burst or continuous) to a local low-power recording system, or both simultaneously. FULLY-REMOTE Q330: BALER AS ROUTER. The PB44F Baler can act transparently as an IP router to handle communications with a Q330 that is accessed only through a radio link. The Baler thus provides recording, Ethernet to radio link conversion, and routing, in one economical, fully integrated package! DATA CENTER: The PB44F Baler design provides a uniquely scalable approach. The easy-to-use powerful HTTP server allows data to be downloaded to a network at up to 400kbytes. Data from a 3-month3-channel, 40sps deployment would be recovered in only 30 minutes. Using a low-cost 10100 Ethernet switch, data from up to 10 Balers can be recovered simultaneously. Three months of data from 40 units can be recovered in only 3 hrs – with NO processing of intermediate formats. Removable Baler media may be read directly.

The Quanterra Q330 is an advanced, low-cost, IP network-aware very low-power 3-6 channel remote broad-band seismic system incorporating Quanterra's leading, proven broad-band technology. The Q330 includes Quanterra’s own patented (US Patent 4866442, Japan Patent 2787445, others pending) ultra-low-power delta-sigma 24-bit AD, a DSPRAM module containing 8Mb, a GPS receiver, power conversion, sensor control, and a telemetry management module.

The Obsidian accelerograph is Kinemetrics' NEW product matched to Kinemetrics' exemplary EpiSensor accelerometer performance. It represents a new paradigm in open-architecture seismic data acquisition systems and defines the World's Next Generation of products.
