What Is the Sercel FDU-428?
The Sercel FDU-428 is a field digitizer unit used in the Sercel 428XL system, one of the most widely used land seismic acquisition platforms. The FDU converts analog signals from geophones into high-resolution digital data and sends them along the line to the central recording system. Its proven design, durability and compatibility with existing 428XL equipment make it a popular choice for new and expanding crews.
