Abstract
A wellbore instrument system includes a pipe string extending from earth's surface into a wellbore. The pipe string includes at least one of an electrical conductor and an optical fiber signal communication channel. A power sub is coupled to at least one wireline configurable wellbore instrument. The power sub is also coupled to the pipe string. The instrument is configured to receive electrical power from the power sub. The instrument includes at least one sensor responsive to at least one of movement of the instrument, change in a instrument operating condition and an environmental condition proximate the instrument. The sensor is configured to transmit signals therefrom over the communication channel.
