Chapter 3. Understanding the manuals
The Güralp 40TDE is a complex piece of equipment, the true flexibility of which can only be fully appreciated by studying the manuals. The instrument is covered by four separate documents:
MAN-040-0004 - This document, which provides an overview, a getting-started guide and a list of other relevant manuals;
MAN-EAM-0003 - The Güralp EAM manual, which covers use of the data acquisition module, including configuration of the digitiser and control of the sensor. All of the instrument's external connectors are described in the Güralp EAM manual but, for convenience, this information is reproduced in section 5 of this manual.
MAN-040-0001 - The Güralp 40T Operator's Manual, which describes the construction and operation of the sensor.
MAN-D24-0004 - The Güralp DM24 digitiser manual, which describes the features of and command-line interaction with the digitiser. Note that, thanks to the EAM's convenient web and menu-based interfaces, direct use of the digitiser's command line is seldom necessary.
