LEMI-419

 

Wide band magnetotelluric station LEMI-419 is intended for the study of natural electromagnetic fluctuations in the frequency band 0.0001-200 Hz in field conditions. The station maintains automatically measurements in wide temperature range and digitizing data from 3 search-coil magnetometers, 4 telluric channels and monitors the 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 station operation is synchronized with GPS timing.
