The MATRIX Logger acquisition system is based on modern electronics design in which software control techniques have been used to the best advantage. The hardware incorporates the latest electronic components with embedded systems controlled via the specially developed Matrix Windows interface program.

The software takes advantage of the latest Microsoft Windows operating systems, including WINDOWs 8, 64-bit systems). These multi-tasking software platforms can accommodate all the tasks necessary for maximum data security and ease of operation.

  • New binary data format with .TFD extension
  • Dual DSP (Digital Signal Processors) to handle data communications, pulse tool signal detection and analog signal measurement and generation
  • Programmable Tool Power Supply
  • Tool Voltage and Current monitoring
  • USB interface to the PC for higher digital tool data rates allowing faster logging
The system design philosophy is unique in two respects. First, it has been built to accommodate several generations of single conductor, Mount Sopris tool types, as well as single and multi-conductor ALT tools and second, it is totally software controlled. The basic system design criteria are as follows:
  • Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows XP or Windows Vista operating systems platform running in 32-bit or 64-bit drivers.
  • Rugged, fault tolerant electronics with dual DSP processors.
  • Easy to use, on-screen graphical user interface -The Dashboard- with self-diagnostic features, system configurable through screen dialog boxes, with minimal technical knowledge needed by the user.
  • Wireline and winch flexibility - runs on most coax, single and multi-conductor wire lines with compatible tools.
  • Depth encoder flexibility - compatible with most 12V or 5V AB Quadrature and pulse shaft encoders, and configurable for any combination of wheel/depth pulses per revolution.
