0Components
The system consits of the measuring bench with a ballscrew, which pushes core section past 5 sensors measuring Gamma Density, P-wave Velocity, Magnetic Susceptibility (Loop and Point), Non-Contact Resistivity (NCR). All sensors simultaneously acquire the data, which is displayed real-time during logging. The acquired data is stored locally in the electronics with simple user interface.
