SeismoBug
is an autonomous triaxial accelerograph, based on the latest micro-electro‑mechanical (MEMS) sensor technology. It is suitable for real-time recording of moderate to strong earthquake events and can operate totally unattended on external power supply (with battery backup), featuring automatic event triggering capabilities and non-volatile local storage. It
also incorporates pre-trigger buffer memory, auto-calibration, accurate event
timestamping, low-noise output and compact size. Device configuration and data
retrieval are performed via wired or wireless (Bluetooth) connection with a host
personal computer, using specialized software. Furthermore, host software
supports device geo-location referencing, real-time recording with keyboard
triggering, and advanced record post-processing capabilities.
