LEMI-418


Wide band magnetotelluric station LEMI-418 is intended for the study of Earth’s crust electromagnetic structure in frequency band (DC-200) Hz in field conditions in wide temperature range. The station maintains automatically measurements and digitizing data from the flux-gate and search-coil magnetometers, 4 telluric channels and temperatures of sensor and electronics. The real time acquisition, recording and visualization of current and previously recorded data are executed at an external computer to which digital data are transferred through serial RS-422 port. The operation is synchronized with GPS timing.
