Hi there,
Do you want to buy one or to actually make one?
There are at least two suppliers who sell complete 24 bit boards at
'reasonable prices' and software to go with them.
If you make one, how are you going to obtain the software to drive it?
What seismic data recording and analysis program do you plan to use?
An 'ordinary' laboratory ADC recorder program is unlikely to have all the data
extraction, filtering, processing and analysis that seismologists usually
want. Nor is it likely to have the precision timing required. The software clocks
on most computers are hopelessly inaccurate for seismic work.
The design and construction of a 24 bit ADC board is not a 'simple
task', but requires knowledge of the design, skill and the facilities to design
and produce quite a complex printed circuit board.
If you wish to integrate the digtial electronics into the seismometer
control loop, the problem is likely to get quite a lot harder.
Regards,
Chris Chapman
