DATA ACQUISITION

We have developed a range of data acquisition units that address the diverse requirements of our customers. 

Whether you are looking for low-power capability, secure authentication, flexible networking capabilities, high quality data or ultra-low-latency, we have a 24-bit digitiser that can deliver the features you need.

As well as as our stand-alone data acquisition units, we also offer digital instruments such as Fortimus and Radian, as well as analogue sensors with integrated digitisers such as the 3ESPC Series, 6 Series and 40 Series instruments.

Güralp Affinity

Sophisticated and adaptable, high fidelity seismic digitiser.


The Güralp Affinity is a high-fidelity integrated digitiser and network communications unit that provides a convenient and expandable way of connecting analogue and digital instruments to your network.

The Affinity delivers high-quality digitisation with 31-bit resolution. Designed for data quality and durability, the Affinity is a stable and robust Linux-powered unit with on-board storage and networking facilities. An advanced module directly controls power supply to peripherals and reports their voltages via state-of-health communications.

For applications where data verification is critical the Affinity also supports Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) scheme data authentication.

The Affinity is available as a four channel or eight channel unit.
  • 31-bit analogue-to-digital conversion
  • Available with four or eight ADC channels
  • Ultra-low-noise: >138 dB of dynamic range @ 100 sps
  • 8 or 16 environmental multiplexed ADC channels
  • Triggering/events subsystem capabilities including STA/LTA, level (threshold), software triggers, per-channel voting and peer-to-peer network voting
  • Four (or eight) concurrent sampling rates of up to 4000 samples per second
  • UTC time-stamped data using a low-power GPS receiver and state of the art timing protocols, Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and Network Time Protocol (NTP)
  • Multi-user Linux operating system with full network support
  • On-board Web server (HTTP and HTTPS) allows full remote configuration of digitizer parameters and broadband sensors, including remote lock, unlock and centre
  • Fixed 64 GB onboard storage with additional connection for external USB storage

Güralp NAM

Versatile seismic network management

The NAM is a stable, robust data hub with unrivalled configurability, ideal for large or complex regional and national arrays and other multi station monitoring solutions.

As a communications hub, the NAM acquires multiple data streams from connected instruments (either local or remote, over serial or IP communications) and acts as both a data store and data transmitter.Additionally, it can deliver real-time protocol conversions to a variety of seismic formats.

For stations where access to GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) is impractical, the NAM can also operate as a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server, synchronising the remote stations to a local GNSS receiver.

  • Stable, robust and flexible for confident long-term deployments with total autonomy
  • Designed to act as a data concentrator in seismic networks, capable of acquiring data from up to 500 instruments at 100 sps
  • Control using either Web interface or the console accessed via video, serial or SSH
  • Multi-user Linux operating system
  • Ethernet LAN (10/10 0/10 0 0 0Base-T) 802.1q tagged VLAN support
  • Full TCP/IP support with PPP
  • LCD display for status information
  • 8/16/24 RS-232 port expansion options
