Hi Paul,

       It is only the AS1 electronics box which is set to 6.15 SPS. The AS1 
has a resonance at 0.67 Hz, so the output falls off sharply above about 2 - 3 
Hz

       If you are using a Dataq ADC for instance, you can set the sample rate 
to any rate that the board offers, by altering the config file value..

       This should be OK, if the ADC can provide it.

In the config file I changed=20= the sample rate to 20 SPS and now the Winquake FFT window shows out to 10 Hz= ..


       This should be OK, if the ADC can provi= de it.
