Hi

The floor is level, this is the same floor where I keep my geophone,
with any issues.

However, the lehman sensor appears to be this high so I can get 12 to 20
second period. I am not sure why that is.

The only problem that I am dealing with now is that once I have setup
the correct period. I something find that the coil slides to the magnets
and gets stuck there. I do not know why that movment happens. I am
trying to fix that issue.

Regards.
