Method and apparatus associated with a microcomputer system for indicating next-in-time parameters, and for controllably generating a positional code for a rollalong switch associated with a seismic source- detector array of an exploration system

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for selectively generating a next-in-time positional code for disconnectably connecting recording circuitry to different but contiguous sets of detectors, i.e. an "active" array, from among a plurality of detectors positioned along the line of survey. For this purpose a microcomputer system that includes a system bus connected (via a port) to the rollalong switch, is employed.
