ADU-11e

about to be finalized May 2025

The ADU-11e (Analog Digital Unit) is a HF logger with 8 channels and 131 kHz max. continuous sample rate on 6 channels, 64 kHz on 8 channels and with 1024 Hz lowest native sample rate. Online filtering with 8x, 32x.
The system has a single mainboard with all channels integrated and soldered GPS (GPS, Galileo, Glonass, BeiDou). The CPU is an ARM quad core 64bit.

ADU-11e

One of the design aims is to keep the system small and light weight for airborne applications (250 g board and 250 g connectors).
The channel configuration is 2xE and 6xH.
3 H channels can be connected to a SHFT-02e or SHFT-03e and the other 3 H channels to a FGS-04e type fluxgate (airborne)
GPS data will be written @0.1Hz for control.
For ground based recordings you connect coils like MFS-06e, MFS-07e or MFS-12e and an electric field.
You can also connect a SHFT-03e while recording with the default coils; for example acquiring dedicated AMT data with this specialized sensor
For extended LF recordings with 6 magnetic fields, use the ADU-12e. However the combination of ADU-10e and ADU-11e is more flexible and has the same price.
While doing LF measurement with the ADU-10e and using the 10e as remote reference station, you can use the ADU-11e for the HF/LF data.

  • ~ 64 Hz yaw, pitch, roll sampling for SHFT-02e, SHFT-03e and FGS-04e in preparation for airborne applications

  • simultaneous recording of AMT & MT with dedicated sensors

  • continuous streaming of atss data for remote logging

The systems writes standard ats files as well as streamed double data atss (Matlab, Python/Julia NumPy array compatible with JSON data header)

You can use syncthing, rsync and WebDAV to transfer data to your office.
