HANGING PARAMETERS ON ALL GEOPHONES

 

 

The list below explains the controls of the parameter setting window on all geophones. 

-

 

Parameter:  allows  you  to  choose  from  the  drop  down  menu  the  parameter  you 

prefer to work on (X, Y, Z, or sensitivity). 

-

 

Algorithm:  allows  you to  choose the value calculation  algorithm for individual 

geophones: for the parameters X, Y and Z you can choose constant, increase or 

decrease algorithms; for sensitivity only the constant algorithm is available. 

-

 

Constant  value:  allows  you  to  enter  the  constant  value  to  be  applied  to  the 

parameter. 

-

 

Geophone 1:  allows  you to set the value of the first geophone for Increase and 

Decrease algorithms. 

-

 

Increase:  allows  you  to  set  the  value  by  which  the  previous  parameter  of  the 

geophone will be increased to obtain the next value. 

-

 

Decrease:  allows  you  to  set  the  value  by  which  the  previous  parameter  of  the 

geophone will be decreased to obtain the next value. 

-

 

Apply:  the  button  must  be  pressed  to  apply  the  chosen  algorithm  with  the  set 

parameters so  that  you can calculate the values and assign them to  the enabled 

geophones.
