DATA-CUBE³

The Seismic Data Recorder

Home / Seismology / Product

Concept

The DATA-CUBE³ is ideally suited for field installations to reliably record seismic data for post-processing. The concept and design of the DATA-CUBE³ is the result of years of expertise by scientists and engineers from seismic installations and handling experience in the field.

A great flexibility allows satisfying specific customer requirements by offering the DATA-CUBE³ in different configurations and for sensors like geophones, broadband seismometers and also infrasonic sensors. A constantly high quality of the product is achieved by a well-proven production chain and controlled by regular comprehensive inspections.

Short-term Campaigns 
and Tunnel Installations

DATA-CUBE³ Type 1

With its internal GPS antenna and internal battery compartment, the DATA-CUBE3 Type 1 is the ideal companion for short term campaigns. The robust and ultra-compact, all-round data recorder can be operated for up to two weeks by the power of only two D-cells and is therefore ideally suited for active seismic measurements.
Furthermore the DATA-CUBE3 Type 1 is optimally equipped for measurements in deep tunnels or caves, due to the possibility of both internal or external power supply.

DATA-CUBE³ Type 2

The DATA-CUBE3 Type 2 has a flexible external GPS antenna which allows to operate the device for long time measurements inside a building with continuous time correction. A recording time of up to 230 days will be achieved when using a standard car battery (80 Ah).
Furthermore the DATA-CUBE3 Type 2 comes along very well equipped for additional live monitoring and streaming. Therefore, it is very well suited for research in isolated and difficult accessible regions.

Key Features

  • Extremely low power consumption
  • Very small size and weight
  • High flexibility
  • Compatible with almost all sensors like broadband seismometers:

from Nanometrics, Lennartz or Guralp; different geophones, infrasound sensors and many more

  • Best performing analogue-digital-converters (ADC) for ultra-precise and low noise digitalization

Stand-Alone

The DATA-CUBE³ is the perfect stand-alone 3-channel seismic data logger when it comes to robustness, reliability and handling. The concept and design of the DATA-CUBE³ is the result of years of expertise by scientists and engineers from seismic installations and handling experience under rough field conditions.

In Use

Under harsh environmental conditions, the DATA-CUBE³s successfully recorded seismic data during a 3 weeks campaign (GFZ). Since then the DATA-CUBE³s have been even improved and are now manufactured and distributed by DiGOS.
