State of Health File

The state of health file is a diagnostic information status stream produced by the seismometer and their corresponding data logger known as Maris Interface. The first part of this page concern seismometer .soh files. The first part of this page concern the Maris interface .soh files. The state of health file contains a GPS status message every minute, an environmental measurements message every ten minutes, a GPS synchronization status message every twenty minutes and GPS timing, visibility and position message every hour.

The content of these files is parsed to sensors relevant to each type of seismometer.

GPS Status message

o/s: The current offset between the internal clock vs GPS time.

Drift: The difference between current o/s and previous o/s.

Pwm (Pulse Width Modulation): Feedback control parameter.

Manual 3-D: Signifies that enough GPS satellites are visible to obtain a 3D fix. If “No Fix” is displayed, the GPS received has not yet been able to obtain a satisfactory fix.

Example: 2015 11  5 06:00:00 o/s=   2152 drift=  2036 pwm= 8649  Manual 3D 

Environmental Measurements

 External Supply: Voltage received by seismometer from the power supply.

Temperature: Internal temperature of seismometer.

Example: 2015 11  5 06:05:00 External supply : 14.1V Temperature  12.62'C

GPS synchronization

Current Offset: Current offset between internal clock from GPS time in micro seconds. Slow or fast is used to represent if internal clock is ahead or behind GPS time.

Frequency error: Frequency error in Hz.

Mass Position: Displays the current mass positions.

Example: 2015 11  5 06:30:00 29.2 MicroSec Slow  Freq error -74 e-9

      2015 11  5 06:30:00 Mass Positions   5% -1%-19%

GPS timing, visibility and position

GPS timing: The current time provided by GPS

Satellite visibility: SV#’s, which stands for Space Vehicle Number is a list of all usable satellites. A minimum of four satellites is required to obtain a full 3-D GPS fix.

Seismometer position: Latitude, longitude and height of the seismometer. If position is unavailable, the latitude, longitude and height are shown as below. 

Example: 2015 11  5 06:00:00 GPS Date/Time 05/11/15 06:00:00
