Sigma 4 PPV
The Sigma 4 PPV Monitoring System is designed to monitor source strength in real time during seismic operations. A Sigma 4 nodal seismograph is placed between the source and the asset to be protected, allowing crews to monitor Peak Particle Velocity, or PPV, as source activity occurs. As the source starts, data is wirelessly transmitted to an Android tablet for analysis and display.
At the first sign of a violation, source activity can be halted by the operator, helping protect nearby structures, utilities, and sensitive assets. The system combines Sigma 4 seismic hardware, wireless field display, and Event Monitor software for real-time PPV viewing, post-processing, plots, analysis, and reporting.
