Q330M+
HIGH-RESOLUTION INTEGRATED SEISMIC SYSTEM
SUPPORTING CD1.1 PROTOCOL
The Q330M+ is the newest member of the world-standard
Q330 family, addressing the special needs of the nuclear treaty
verication community. Largely based on the time-proven
Q330S+ datalogger, Q330M+ leverages Quanterra’s extensive
experience in ultra-reliable network-aware seismic systems
design.
The Q330M+ combines sampling rates up to 1kHz with a rich
protocol library, including CD1.1, IEEE-1588 Precision Time
Protocol (PTP), and FIPS-compliant hardware authentication.
Q330M+
FEATURES
Data Packet Authentication
The Q330M+ supports real-time data telemetry to several data
consumers in parallel, each stream with its own data buering,
and internal, reliable recording on SLC SD card, simultaneously.
The Q330M+ includes an internally mounted Spyrus
Authenticator device for applications requiring authetication.
Webserver for Setup and Conguration
The Q330M+ runs a webserver to allow the user to perform
setup and conguration via any browser, using a friendly GUI.
Auxiliary Channel Processor (optional)
Based on the Quanterra Environmental Processor used in IRIS
USArray/TA and GSN stations, the ACP adds 5 16-bit analog
inputs and one serial digital interface for environmental and
meteorological sensors. The ACP digitizes in phase with the
Q330M+ main clock and adds the new channels synchronized
to the main data channels.
