The Home Screen
The four lines on the home screen show:
• the Gecko clock’s date and time (in UTC – Universal Time Coordinated)
• the station code, and which channels are being stored to the SD card
• the number of GPS satellites visible; and what is being sent via Telemetry
• the SD card capacity and percentage of storage remaining
“O” is the 4
th
channel on some Gecko models, and “+” is the vector sum of channels ENZ.
The “Storing” word animates using q down arrows to indicate packets of data are being
written to the SD card. The “Sending” word animates using p up arrows to indicate packets
of data are being streamed to a remote computer.
Status Screen Loop – Right Button
The Gecko has several status pages accessible from the Home screen. Press the Right
button to scroll through them, or press the Menu button to return to the Home screen.
• The first screen shows input power voltage and CPU temperature, the current sample
rate and input amplifier (gain) setting, followed by the Gecko serial number and
firmware version number. The bottom line shows the telemetry connection status
• The next screen shows the name and serial number of the 3D sensor connected to
channels ENZ. The sensor type is shown on the bottom line
• If you have a 4-channel recorder, the next screen shows the 1D sensor information
• The next shows the GPS location information. The “hAcc” value is the horizontal
accuracy value of the GPS aerial position in metres as read from the GPS receiver,
and “vAcc” is the vertical accuracy.
• The final screen shows a list of the last 20 trigger times and peak values in the 10
seconds after the trigger time. An “s” after the time indicates it was an STA/LTA
trigger, a p indicates a Level-High trigger, and a q indicates a Level-Low trigger.
Use the Down button to scroll to older triggers, or Up to view the latest trigger.
