The CUSP-M multi-channel seismic datalogger
is a multi-channel UTC-synced structural health monitoring and dense-array data capture system
Based on the operating system and application suite of the CUSP-3 series,
the CUSP-M offers synchronised sampling of 96 24-bit channels
(currently configured as 32 X 24-bit or 32 X 16-bit 3-channel sensors) making it
ideal for dense arrays or structural monitoring. The use of robust
LVDS communications to the sensors and remote signal digitisation
allows sensor-to-processor cable runs of up to 400m. Standard
Ethernet wire is utilised, resulting in extremely low-cost
wiring and many structures can be instrumented using the pre-existing
Ethernet network, decreasing both the installation cost and time
and minimising the disruption to the buildings inhabitants.
Operating in an array
Monitoring a structure
The use of UTC synchronised sampling with large ring buffers allows
multiple CUSP-M units to be operated in parallel.
The availability of differing signal converters
allows the use of end-user provided sensors and adaptation to
diverse applications quickly and cost effectively. Current sensor options include
17-bit and 13-bit strong motion accelerometers, LVDT displacement sensors, wind sensors and bore-hole accelerometers.
Geophone interfaces are also avaliable.
Basic specifications:
8, 16, 24 or 32 times 3-channel 24-bit or 16-bit sensors per unit (up to 96 x 24bit channels)
50, 100 or 200Hz sample rate
UTC synchronised sampling
Multiple central units with synchronised sampling - can synchronise/configure devices over Internet
Utilises LVDS signalling for long sensor to central processor distances (up to 400m)
Same rugged, clear, intuitive and powerful Internet interface style as CUSP-3 series
Optional adapters available for monitoring other parameters or sensors or for customised applications
