DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A COMPUTER INTERFACED SEISMIC SENSOR

Abstract

This project work presents the development of a computer interfaced seismic sensor. The seismic sensor is capable of detecting seismic signals and vibrations, on solid ground from the earth's surface. The seismic sensor provides significant flexibility to the user as it can be easily interfaced to a personal computer. The user needs only to read seismic signals by viewing the results as waveforms on a graphical environment known as a seismogram. The seismogram is the software-based program, with digital signal processing facilities to perform the analysis. To read a seismic signal, the signal must be converted to a digital form before it can be viewed on the interactive graphical environment. The project integrates both hardware and software concepts with both working in unison through int
