Next Generation Qualification: Guralp Systems Affinity Digitizer Evaluation
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States). Geophysics and Ground-Based Monitoring R&E Dept.
Sandia National Laboratories has tested and evaluated a new digitizer, the Affinity, manufactured by Guralp Systems Ltd. These digitizers are used to record sensor output for seismic and infrasound monitoring applications. The purpose of the digitizer evaluation was to measure the performance characteristics in such areas as power consumption, input impedance, sensitivity, full scale, self-noise, dynamic range, system noise, response, passband, and timing. The Affinity digitizer is Guralp's latest release in their digitizer product line. The Affinity is available with either 4 or 8 channels at 24 bit resolution. In addition to the 24 bit channels, 16 multiplexed low resolution channels are provided. Other features include the means to accept multiple types of timing sources (e.g. GPS, NTP and PTP) and a web page interface for command and control of the unit.
