Data Formatting Unit
  • The DFU is a downhole sonde that allows the user gapless operation when used with an X Generation TAS.
  • It is located in between the X-TAS and the digitizers.
  • Compatible with all Geochain digitizer modules for gapless recording
  • Sim variant available (SDFU)

 

The DFU contains memory that stores digitizer data whilst the TAS has stopped, enabling the data to be continuous without gaps. The system shares the same x-generation unique Active Cooling System for continuous operation at 385oF/195oC and seals for 25,000psi (1700 bar) pressure rating

 

Extra Fucntionality if also using x-digitizers (AS-272 or AS-251)

  • Facilitates both discrete buffering and formatted recording doubling the number of tools available for a given sample rate.
