Components
The system consits of the measuring bench with a ballscrew, which pushes core section past the 9 sensors (Gamma Density, P-wave Velocity, Magnetic Susceptibility, Non-Contact Resistivity, Colour Spectrophotometry, Geoscan V Linescan Imaging, Natural Gamma Spectrometry, Near-infrared/Visible Spectrophotometry, X-ray Fluorescence). 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.
