TEM-FAST 48

TEM-FAST 48

TEM-FAST 48 is highly portable multipurpose geophysical system based on advanced TEM-FAST technology providing high resolution, efficient operation in any conditions, including industrial city zones with limited space, deserts, mountains, any hard accessible areas. TEM-FAST 48 can be applied for solution of very wide range of problems, including environmental investigations, hydrogeological researches, archaeological, mineral prospecting and others. TEM-FAST 48 can operate with any desktop computer, Notebook (Windows XP/7 x86,x64) or with Handheld (OS Mobile, Win CE) computer via standard interface RS 232 (9-pin connector) or USB (host). TEM-FAST 48 generates and sends short pulses of electromagnetic field in the earth and registers its response which depends on the electric resistivity of the prospecting block of the rock.
After stacking of the signal, computer switches system into the state with small power consumption, then does calculations of normalized voltage/current ratios and rms inaccuracy of measurements as well.
Algorithms of measurements and data processing applied in TEM-FAST 48 permit to exclude systematic errors connected with battery discharging and temperature drift, to increase signal/noise ratio if signal level small.

SOFTWARE

TEM-FAST 48system is equipped with base software which provides control, viewing of measurement results in digital form as well as apparent resistivity curves and some characteristics of the noise existing during measurements. There is possibility to view different characteristics of noise existing during the equipment operating.
TEM-FAST 48 system have also advanced software package TEM-RESEARCHER (TEM-RES) for fast inverse problem solution in the class of gradient and layered sections directly in the field conditions. TEM-RES gives user possibility to do inversion even if induced polarization (IP) and superparamagnetic (SPM) effect complicate experimental data. Moreover, innovative technology permits to use these effects for extending of conventional possibilities of TDEM method.
TEM-RES has special tools for mass data processing and construction of 2D or 3D images of geoelectrical sections. In the cases when the targets under investigation have a clear 3D structure, the user can apply TEM_3D_WIZARD software having friendly interface designed specially for TEM-FAST application
