Abstract

A data acquisition system has a central station connected to a plurality of nodes over a network. Each node is connected to receive signals from one or more sensors ad each is configured to have substantially the same transmission delay to said central station. The central station is configured to notify all nodes of an event time at which a data event, such as a seismic shot, occurred.
