Guys- I need some help on designing a remote seismic system.
Let me know what you think of what I came up with so far.  I can be cont=
acted at email below if you want pictures or more details. =


 =

An affordable remote SDR system (site) using a Notebook & Solar panel fo=
r power.
 =

System will record 24/7 for several months in a remote Desert area in AZ=
 using a Solar panel to recharge battery.
The events I collect will be saved in WinSDR, so I can check them occasi=
onally & do a DL.  The system will eventually be used with 110-A/C when =
it comes on line. =

 =

System:
Using Larry Cochrane=92s P/A, Filter, GPS & A/D Box- 8 channels in 1 Box=
.
Using L15B sensor elements (4.5Hz) in a Borehole package for sensors- =

2 closely spaced BH=92s with 3 components each & 2 surface geophones. =

WinSDR on a Notebook.
 =

Power requirements:
LC=92s Box takes ~2-3 Watt going directly from the battery.
The Notebook will need a boost from ~12V to ~18, so use a 12V to 18V con=
verter.
            Not sure what power requirements will be?
A 30 W Solar Panel (hope this is adequate) with controller to charge bat=
tery (sells for ~~$300).
 =

Comments- Saving Power:
Use XP power saving options-
Disable WiFi
Use Low Power screen-
By using  ~1-2 GB memory stick instead of using the standard HD.
Could replace the standard HD with a 2.5=94 Flash Drive (a =
bit Pricey though)?
 =

Questions: ?????????????????
Any other suggestions to lower Power requirements?
Any suggestions for a Notebook that would do the job?
Will the Notebook get too hot, not being in an air conditioned  room? =
