Kinemetrics Granite Datasheet

Granite represents the next generation of Kinemetrics multi­channel recorders. O ering high dynamic range on up to 36
channels and with exemplary timing accuracy and spectral purity,
the Granite again advances the standards of seismic data
recording.

Complementing the outstanding data  delity of this unit is a
very low power operation and a new suite of communication
capabilities o ering multiple real time data streams to multiple
clients. Built on Kinemetrics’ new Rock platform, Granite is easy to
integrate with other Rock & Quanterra instruments allowing users
to develop highly  exible monitoring solutions.

Since only a web browser is required to modify the parameters,
Granite o ers greatly enhanced ease of use over existing instru­ments to change operation parameters, change recording and
telemetry modes & formats, view or retrieve recorded  les.
Functions can be accessed worldwide via a WAN, or via local
wireless interface with the optional Bluetooth interface.

As with all Kinemetrics instrumentation the Granite
is designed and tested to ensure ultra-reliability.
