APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DISTRIBUTED CONTROL OF SEISMIC DATA ACQUISITION

摘要

The present invention provides a method and apparatus of acquiring and processing seismic data. One or more controllers are each coupled to seismic sensors and to each other to form a line of data acquisition units. A main controller is coupled to a crossover line unit and to a power supply. Power and data control is distributed among the main controller, the crossover line unit, and each of the plurality of data acquisition units.
