Summary
- ParkSEIS-HMA (PS-HMA) Software Package for 1D-Array Data (Update and Improvement)
- The ParkSEIS software package for this project (ParkSEIS-HMA) has been developed to perform the in-field operation of raw seismic
data collected by using a 16-channel MEMS-microphone-array acquisition system that has also been under development at Norrfee
Tech. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) part of the software has been summarized in a previous report. The files describing
communication between these GUI components and the hardware (PXI) system were previously sent to Norrfee Tech to optimally pass
acquisition-related parameters to the PXI system as summarized in this file as well as in this appendix file. This communication part has
been continuously modified and refined to meet various changes and updates made in the hardware (PXI) control software. The focus
has been on the ability by the ParkSEIS software to notify the PXI system to "ARM" the system so that the acquisition-hardware system
can collect data whenever the seismic source makes impact on the HMA surface. This effort has been summarized in this file. The first
successful communication between the ParkSEIS and the PXI system had been made via a lab test on December 4, 2020.
- Hardware Development (16-Channel 1D-Array System)
- The development of a 16-channel data-acquisition system by using ("new") MEMS microphones has been under progress at Norrfee
Tech. The beta version of the 1D acquisition system (see photo below) is ready for the Joint Field Test (JFT) soon. As soon as other
peripheral components, such as cables, array-holding apparatus, impact-source device, etc., are ready, the JFT will be executed
sometime in January, 2021.
