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.

Characteristics

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.
