Product description
The EDR-217 is the latest in the range of ruggedized digitizers and is nearly half the size of the EDR-209. Its robust, compact footprint, versatile connectivity options and ultra-low power consumption make it ideal for use on remote projects where access is difficult. It provides up to eight independent channels of extremely high resolution with sample rates from 1 to 3,000 samples/sec. Channels can be switched off to reduce power so that any number from one to eight can be active. A selectable output word size of up to 32-bits is available.
SIGNAL TO NOISE
A signal to noise ratio of typically 145 dB is achieved at a sample rate of 100 Hz falling to 125 dB at 1,000 Hz using a 24-bit word. 150 dB is obtained below 10 Hz when a 32-bit word size is selected.
The signal bandwidth is always d.c. to 0.4 of the selected sample rate (± 0.1 dB) with over 140 dB of rejection above the half sampling frequency, negating any requirement for anti-alias filtering.
SIGNAL INPUTS
Up to eight channels of fully differential high resolution inputs are available. Common mode rejection is better than 100dB. One of four sensitivity settings can be selected. Up to ± 20 volts can be accommodated on the least sensitive setting. In addition to the standard for auxiliary input low resolution channels that can be recorded at low sample rate for monitoring external parameters.
CONVERTERS
The converters use a 7th order Delta Sigma technique developed by Earth Data. In addition to their high dynamic range they are also free from spurious tones and artefacts present in alternative designs.
TIMING
The unit includes an internal GNSS receiver, capable of being configured to receive and track multiple GNSS constellations: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou. In addition, the receiver can be configured to support various augmentation systems: SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS and GAGAN), QZSS and IMES. Where conditions dictate, the unit away and power cycling modes can be used in both modes in order to conserve power. Alternative time sources such as NTP servers can be used.
STATUS
Power supply voltage, current, internal temperature, and GNSS status are continuously monitored and reported.
CONNECTION & INTERFACES
The EDR-217 can be configured and monitored via any standard HTTP web browser, in addition, it can also be configured as a SeedLink server enabling communication with external seismic systems. The internal mass storage media can be employed to store data in Mini-SEED format, or alternatively external mass storage units can be directly connected via USB. The unit supports the FTP and RSYNC protocols should remote users wish to download / synchronize any stored data files.

Utilities & Updates
This content is only for Registered users!
The SeedLink protocol is a robust data transmission intended for use on the Internet or private circuits that support TCP/IP.
The protocol is robust in that clients may disconnect and reconnect without losing data, the transmission is started where it ended.
Requested data streams may be limited to specific stations, locations and/or channels. All data packets are 512-byte Mini-SEED records.
Available Software
The following software is available from the DMC at
http://www.iris.edu/pub/programs/SeedLink/ :
libslink - A SeedLink client library written in C.
slink2orb - SeedLink to Antelope ORB client (licensed Antelope libraries are required).
slink2ew - SeedLink to Earthworm client. Windows binaries available.
slarchive - A SeedLink client that writes all received data to the local disk in user defined directory and file structures.
slinktool - Command line SeedLink client useful for data stream inspection and server testing.
ewexport_plugin - An Earthworm export process plugin (data source) for a seedlink server.
orbplugin - An Antelope ORB plugin (data source) for a seedlink server (licensed Antelope libraries are required).
SeedLink was originally created as the transport layer for the SeisComP package developed by GEOFON.
The Common Acquisition Protocol Server (CAPS) was developed to fulfill the needs to transfer multi-sensor data from the station to the data center. As nowadays more and more stations with co-located sensors like broadband seismometer, accelerometer, CGPS, temperature, video cameras, etc. are built up, a acquisition protocol is required, which can efficiently handle low and high-sampled data through one unified protocol.
