On Research, Creation, and Testing of Devices for Electronic Deployment of Permanent Continuous Analog Visible Recording of Low–Frequency Processes

Abstract

Mechanical methods of deployment of permanent, continuous analog visible recording of signals complicate the design of analog recorders and light–beam oscilloscopes with the continuous visible recording of low–frequency processes and periodic output of recording frames, reduce their reliability and accuracy, make it difficult to adjust deployment steps, increase power and dimensions, and also lead to additional geometrical and optical errors in light–beam oscilloscopes. To eliminate these shortcomings, electronic methods for deployment of continuous analog visible recording are proposed and analysed, on the basis of which corresponding devices are also developed, created, and tested, with the help of which the proposed electronic methods are tested and verified based on ASEO type Automatic seismic electrographic oscilloscopes.

The suitability of various recording methods and devices for registration of seismic signals

“…Due to the above analysis, it can be stated that the improvement of electrographic light-beam oscillographs based on modern electrographic and xerographic printing and copying technologies and devices and their implementation in seismic stations in conjunction with digital recording systems will be very prospective. It will provide an opportunity to obtain electrographic light beam visible analog continuous seismograms or selective emergency recording of seismic and other low-frequency processes on a simple paper tape, which will combine positive qualities of light-beam oscilloscopes and pen recorders with visible recording on a simple paper tape [36,38,39,44,45,47].…”

“…Based on the above analysis, we would like to state that in our opinion it will be very prospective to modernize electrographic light-beam oscillographs with visible analog recording in ordinary papers and implement them in seismic stations for analog visible recording of seismic signals simultaneously with digital recording systems. We have been engaged in the development, experimental production, and testing of various seismic recorders and electrographic oscillographs for many years (see, e.g., [33,[36][37][38][39] and their references), and now we have decided to develop modernized seismic electrographic oscillographs especially using the contemporary technological and constructive solutions of modern xerocopiers and printers, essentially by making the needed algorithmic, software, optical and constructive changes in them. We plan after the successful completion of the planned R&D works suggest implementing such oscillographs in seismic stations simultaneously with digital recording systems, which will provide an opportunity to obtain light beam analog continuous recording and periodic output of visible seismograms or selective emergency express visible recording with an intermediate memory of seismic or other low-frequency signals on a simple paper.…”
