Spotty Live Feed

Vaults & Outdoor Use

Hi there.
I have been having an issue with spotty live feed from 2 seismometers. I have 6 total seismometers with 5 deployed in a remote location. There are 4 seismometers that are recording well with full data downloads. However, I have a seismometer that was giving spotty data and only 1/4 of the expected data downloaded. I replaced that seismometer with another one I had in the shop. I am still getting a spotty live stream and 1/4 of the data downloaded.

To troubleshoot the problem, I drove out to the location where 3/5 of my seismometers are located, and where the spotty seismometer is located. Not only did I switch out the seismometer, but I also changed out my cellular antennae, cellular modem, and the power converter between the battery and the seismometer. Does someone have any additional ideas to help troubleshoot my system?

Thanks!

Hello Hannah,

Spotty data could be related to a multitude of things like (as you surmised) power or transmission-related issues. If you have the logs from the two “spotty” Shakes, I could give them a look and see what they can tell us.

If needed, you can find instructions on how to download them so on this page: Please read before posting!

Alternatively, you can download the entire content of the two Shake’s /opt/log folders via SSH, zip them, and post them here.
