INTRODUCTION
SoilSpy Rosina is an ultra-portable multichannel digital
seismic acquisition system which can be used for both
passive and active seismic array surveys.
SoilSpy Rosina is composed of a data transmission wire
along which the amplification/digitization modules are
deployed. The modules transmit data from sensors (usually
geophones) to a host (PC or recorder) through the specific
USB port interface.
The main advantages of a multichannel digital acquisition
system are easily summarized:
1) higher signal to noise ratios (no cross talk among
channels),
2) perfect synchronization,
3) light weight, allowed by very thin digital wiring, lack
of external batteries and of bulky acquisition systems.
The additional feature which make SoilSpy Rosina unique in
its field are:
1) no need for external batteries. The state of the
art digital circuitry runs on the power supplied by the
USB port of the PC used to store the data,
2) ultralow weight. Each amplification/digitization
module + a standard 5 m length wire weights less
than 200 g, which means that a standard 12 channel
system weights less than 2.4 kg (geophones
excluded),

WARRANTY
Remind that in order to be covered by warranty, the
following rules must be respected:
keep all the external parts and plugs clean with dry
cloths or brushes. Do not use abrasives or solvents of
any type
DISCLAIMER
SoilSpy Rosina is intended to be used by qualified personnel
in the field of geophysical seismic prospection. The user
must be capable to understand the meaning of the different
parameters/settings and of checking their correctness as a
function of the task to achieve.
In general, ask for competent advice unless you are sure to
understand the theory behind the different procedures.
Seismology is a complex branch of Physics and using any
computer code without fully understanding its assumptions
and its unavoidable limitations is a quick route to wrong
results.

PHYSICAL CONNECTIONS
1) deploy SoilSpy Rosina wire on the ground,
2) firmly couple the sensors (geophones) to the soil at
the selected interdistance1 and connect each sensor
to the digitization module. Respect polarity (red pin
in red socket, black pin in black socket) as shown in
Figure 4. The connection is correct when the the
bases of the sensor connector and of the digitization
module are aligned (Figure 5),
3) connect SoilSpy Rosina wire to the USB interface.
Insert the plug in the socket and turn the screw to
make the connection tight (Figure 6),
4) connect the SoilSpy Rosina USB interface to a USB
port of your PC. The USB port is powered at 5 V,
which is the default setting on most PCs. Since
SoilSpy Rosina is internally powered at 3.3 V only, a
voltage reducer is present inside the USB interface.
Once mounted, SoilSpy Rosina system appears as in Figure
7.

FIRST PC SETTINGS
Note: in order for the system to work, the SoilSpy
Rosina USB interface must be recognized by the PC
operating system as a COM (communication) port
(Figure 9). To this extent you need to install the
USB interface driver provided in the installation CD
you received with the instrument. Please follow the
instruction provided therein.
1) To check whether SoilSpy Rosina USB interface is
correctly installed on your PC, connect the interface to
the PC and select START >> SETTINGS >> CONTROL
PANEL >> SYSTEM >> HARDWARE >> DEVICE
MANAGER >> PORT (COM and LPT) (Figure 9). You
should find the item Micromed USB Interface
(COM##), where COM## stands for the number of
the communication port assigned to the USB interface
(possible values range from 1 to 16).
Please note that in case you unplug the USB interface
and plug it to a different USB port on the same PC, a
different COM## number could be assigned and you
might need to adjust the settings as in Figure 10.
In case you need to change the COM port number on the
SoilSpy Rosina software, select Set up >> Options >>
COM from the main window menu.
2) Now launch SoilSpy Rosina software by double clicking
the relative icon
.
22
3) The first time you will be asked to select the COM port
number and the folder where data will be stored. In
this manual we will call this folder [Your folder]. Click
ok and you will be directed to the software main
button from the toolbar
window. Click the START
and the PARAMETER window will be shown (Figure
11).
Note that you can change the COM number and the
folder where data will be stored any time by selecting
SETUP >> OPTIONS >> COM or SETUP >> FOLDER
in the main window menu (Figure 12).

PARAMETER WINDOW
Click START
on the main window toolbar (Figure 12) to
let the PARAMETER window appear.
The PARAMETER window (Figure 11) is composed of a listbox (1) to select the property to view/set, a button (2) to
send the command and a frame (3) with 7 columns.
The meaning of each column is described below:

PROBLEM SOLVER
72
MANUAL INITIALIZATION OF
MODULES
Each digitization module (Figure 4) is identified by an
internal number, ranging from 1 to the maximum number of
digitization modules installed on SoilSpy Rosina.
In order to avoid confusion we recommend that you keep as
internal number of each module the same number displayed
on the external yellow sticker, whenever possible.
The procedure we are going to describe should only be
used to reset the internal number of any module when it has
accidentally been lost due to communication problems
between the PC SoilSpy Rosina.
Extreme attention must be paid when
applying the following procedure in order to
avoid the malfunctioning of the device.

74
3. select ID START from the command list (p. 62) and click
Send. The LED of all modules will start flashing once a
second. This signals that the modules are ready for the
next stage. Each module is now ready to change its
internal number,
4. short-circuit the module which you want to
change the internal number of. The short-circuit
must be applied on a single module at a time. To
short-circut the module you can use the specific
connector provided with SoilSpy Rosina (Figure 32).
