The GL-PA4 is an integrated seismic observation instrument combining multiple functions including acceleration sensing, data acquisition, storage, transmission, and detection. It contains a 24-bit data acquisition unit, a force-balanced accelerometer, a data storage module, network communication capabilities, and a GNSS time synchronization unit. The force-balanced accelerometer detects triaxial vibration acceleration signals and converts them into proportional voltage outputs for vibration measurement. Comprising three independent orthogonal sensors acquisition unit processes voltage signals from these sensors via three high-resolution, wide-dynamic-range channels that deliver real-time data streams with ultra-high synchronization accuracy. It supports multi-sampling rates, achieving 138dB dynamic range at 50-point sampling. The unit features a large-capacity industrial-grade CF card storage for long-term recording of continuous data, event data, and calibration data. For detailed strong-motion calibration, it records seismic calibration data at 500-point sampling rate. Multiple sampling rates can be transmitted in real-time via network to the seismic network center. Additionally, the triaxial digital strong-motion accelerometer adopts a highly integrated design, offering compact size, lightweight construction, and low power consumption. Data transmission employs low-latency real-time streams with multi-connection support and FTP data download capabilities.
