Abstract

A reflection seismograph collects data received over a plurality of channels in a field location and provides data recorded on a recording medium for processing at a home data processing site in accordance with well-known algorithms. Data is collected over a plurality of channels and converted into a recordable form. In accordance with the present invention, the data is not coupled directly to recording means but is stored. Stored data is processed by a post acquisition processor so that a field operator may preview data to make a determination as to whether the data inputs are suitable to provide a desired result when processed at the home location. The operation may then actuate a means for recording the data onto the recording medium.
