Abstract
A seismic survey system for performing offset borehole seismic survey measurement operations. The system may include a first seismic survey subsystem having a first wireless digital communication device and a second seismic survey subsystem having a second wireless digital communication device and remotely located from the first seismic survey subsystem. The first and second digital communication devices may be configured to provide a digital communication link for transporting digital information between the first seismic survey subsystem and second seismic survey subsystem. The system may be configured to enable a user at the first seismic survey subsystem to remotely modify at least a portion of a first plurality of operating parameters associated with at least one source signal device located at the second seismic survey subsystem. The system may also be configured to utilize GPS information in order to improve accuracy of source signal firing timing synchronization.
