ALPHA Digital

Digital ALPHA Seismometer

Product Overview

In combining a standard three component ALPHA seismometer with our well proven 24-bit TAU digitizer, this Digital ALPHA is a seismometer with a fully digital output. This two-in-one package eliminates the need for an external digitizer, thereby saving valuable deployment space. It also makes installation extremely easy, as there is no need to handle bulky seismometer cables. In conjunction with our OMEGA control and data acquisition software, this seismometer can be fully remotely controlled and operated.
