Data Acquisition Systems

All PEI's Data Acquisition systems are able to display a geographical information (map, aerial photo) overlain with the navigation information. Complete operator/pilot navigation guidance system is included in the Data acquisition. Our systems also can be extended with third party instruments on customer demand.

Reliable, versatile but flexible data recording structure had been developed to allow only one set of field QC and data format conversion programs support all PEI instruments.

Common philosophy and similar controls of different Data systems had been devised in order to reduce the learning time of the operator when switching instruments (airborne, truck-borne or portable).

Common survey preparation and geographical image calibration, as well as post data collection trace visualization support software is included with each Data acquisition system.

 The data systems are targeted at four distinct acquisition groups:

AGIS (Airborne Geophysical Information System): A lightweight robust real time data acquisition and navigation system integrated into a single unit that can be easily installed in a wide variety of mobile platforms without need for a permanent installation in the carrying vehicle.

IRIS (Integrated Radiation Information System): A real time data acquisition and navigation system is advanced, software driven instrumentation specifically designed for mobile applications. It is equipped with precise Satellite navigation, includes real-time displayed vehicle path underlain with an image (geographical map) of the area, and provides reliable data acquisition and radiation information in conjunction with the GRS-10 Gamma Spectrometer.

AMIS (Archeological Magnetic Information System): Used for archeological magnetic exploration the real time data acquisition system allows the user to view signals from individual sensors and use the navigation control to follow a user selected / designed  survey path. The unit is mounted in a rugged, water resistant housing, and consists of magnetometer processor, color display, mini keyboard, power supply, signal de-coupler and signal measuring module capable of servicing up to four independent magnetometer sensors, and an internal GPS receiver. The GPS receiver is designed to be removable from the main console and remotely mounted to provide optimum view of the sky for satellite reception.

PGIS (Portable Geophysical Information System): Based on hand held computer a real time data acquisition and navigation system specifically designed for ground on foot or mobile geophysical or environmental survey work. Configurations with portable gamma spectrometer (GRS-2) and magnetometer (MMS-4) are supported.

 

COMPLETE INTEGRATED SYSTEMS:

AGIS-FB    This package is a lightweight, high-resolution, fixed wing aircraft magnetometer system featuring either a single magnetometer sensor or gradiometer multiple sensor array installed in a rigid-boom, tail-stinger or wing-tip pod. The system accepts data from up to 4 magnetometer sensors with sampling rates of 10, 20, 50 and 100 Hz.

 Addition sensors that are supported and can be supplied include fluxgate magnetometer(s), barometric and radar altimeters, temperature and humidity probes, and a wide variety of GPS receivers. The system comes pre configured with 8 analog input channels (+/- 10 VDC input range) and can be expanded to 32 channels if required. In addition, the included firmware / software will directly support PEI's radiometrics sensor array or the Exploranium GR-820 radiometrics system. Multiple available RS-232 serial ports provide easy support for any other 'intelligent' sensor such as EM systems, or dynamic gravity sensor.

 PEI can arrange to manufacture and install custom 'stinger'' and pod assemblies to souse sensors on a wide variety of aircraft. We can also arrange for Canadian MOT (Ministry Of Transport) certification (LSTC) for these installations.  

AGIS-TB - This fully integrated system provides all the features of the AGIS FB system but is prededicated for installation in helicopters. This system would normally have the GPS antenna and magnetometer sensor(s) housed in a custom towed airfoil assembly (bird). In addition digital attitude sensors would be installed on the bird to provide sensor orientation information required to correct gradiometer information.

 If required, PEI can also arrange for manufacture of a custom fixed boom assembly to be mounted on various helicopter models for use in areas where local regulations prohibit use of a towed bird.

IRIS - The Integrated Radiation Information System is an intelligent gamma ray spectrometer system with full 512 channel spectrum data acquisition and integrated navigation. This system maintains all the features and support as the AGIS-FB but has been designed to be used as a stand alone radiation detection system. The package has been designed to mounted in virtually any type of platform (land based vehicle, helicopter, or fixed wing aircraft). Supported detector arrays can vary in volume from several cubic inches to 3000 cubic inches (50 liters) depending on the user's requirements.
