InSite Modules

The modules chosen by a user depend on their data application. Additional modules can be purchased at a later date and added to a license if required. InSite comprises of 9 modules as follows:

• Data-Management Module
• Waveform Module
• Advanced Waveform Module
• Location Module
• Mechanism Module
• Velocity Module
• Leach Module
• Distributed-User Module
• External-Communications Module

Here are some example scenarios...


Team Manager

Example Modules: Data-management, Location

• A team manager needs to have easy access to processed data; for quality control, project management, data reporting and presentations to superiors.
• InSite allows event data to be easily shared amongst users, giving a team manager access to data from an automatic system or a project’s engineers.
• A two-module license (Data-management and Location Modules) will allow a team manager to visualise source locations and source parameters in a 3D scene of the site being investigated.
• This system provides a team manager with the answers to the fundamental questions: where is the seismicity and how big is it?

Other Modules: Mechanism, Waveform, Distributed-user



Project Engineer

Example Modules: Data-management, Waveform, Location, Mechanism

• A project engineer, working on seismic monitoring in the Petroleum, Mining, Civil or Rad Waste sectors, needs to examine, process and interpret recorded data.
• InSite allows seismic data, potentially from different monitoring projects and different acquisition hardware, to be easily managed, processed and visualised.
• A four-module license (Data-management, Waveform, Location and Mechanism modules) provides a project engineer with the tools needed to process waveforms into source locations, parameters and mechanisms.
• This system gives a project engineer an efficient and effective tool for investigating patterns and causes of seismicity recorded around a variety of facilities.

Other Modules: Advanced Waveform, Distributed-user, External Communications



Research User

Example Modules: Data-management, Waveform, Advanced Waveform, External Communications

• A research user needs to have a comprehensive set of standard functions that can then be expanded by implementing their own development codes.
• The External-Communications Module allows a user to interface their own codes to InSite’s data structures and to access the new functionality by point and click.
• A four-module license (Data-management, Waveform, Advanced Waveform and External-Communications Modules) provides a researcher with advanced waveform processing and the ability to then send parameters to their own codes.
• This system allows a researcher to focus on their own research and development, whilst InSite manages the data and its visualisation.

Other Modules: Location, Mechanism, Distributed-user, Velocity



Real-time Processing

Example Modules: Data-management, Waveform, Location, Leach

• A real-time processing system needs to be used on projects where engineers are required to quickly get feedback on the monitored seismicity.
• InSite’s Leach Module captures data from remote acquisition hardware, and performs automatic processing, so as to provide instant results to engineers.
• A four-module version (Data-management, Waveform, Location and Leach Modules) provides processing and visualisation of all the standard seismic parameters.
• The Leach Module can be tailored to the seismic acquisition hardware used on site. Adding the Distributed-user Module allows team members to access and download data to remote work stations.

Other Modules: Distributed-user, Velocity



Non-destructive Testing

Example Modules: Data-management, Waveform, Location, Mechanism, Velocity

• Laboratory testing of rock and concrete samples, and load-bearing structures, provides important information on the operational stability of engineered sites.
• InSite manages, processes and visualises 3D velocity and acoustic emission data from non-destructive ultrasonic tests.
• A five-module license (Data-management, Waveform, Location, Mechanism and Velocity Modules) performs the standard functions required, as well as advanced moment tensor studies to examine fracturing mechanics.
• This technology provides an engineer the ability to investigate the dynamics of failure and quantify the effects of fracturing.

Other Modules: Distributed-user, Leach
