7 -We usually pack equipment on pallets, in transporter cases, or in boxes. This depends on a range of factors, including:
7 +Broadband (or BB) sensors are especially sensitive to low-frequency energy and are //broad//ly defined as any instrument capable of **reliably recording wave periods greater or equal to 10 seconds**. This makes them useful for the analysis and detection of teleseismic earthquakes as well as techniques involving ambient noise. However, they are also well-suited for measuring high-frequency energy, limited only by the Nyquist frequency of the [[data logger>>doc:Instrumentation.ANU LPR-200.WebHome]]'s sampling rate. The downside to broadband sensors is usually their cost, size, and fragility relative to short-period sensors.

13 -In most instances, we provide dimensions for the borrower to quote and book freight directly with their preferred carrier. This simplifies billing and insurance arrangements. However, we will still assist with technical details throughout your booking if needed.
11 +Currently, 4 kinds of nanometric broadband seismic sensors are available. The Trillium Compact 120, Trillium Compact 20, Trillium Compact Posthole, and most recently, the Trillium Compact Horizon. These seismometers are ideal for long-term deployments of multiple months. All of these seismometers are compatible with the LPR-200 and TSAWR loggers and are designed for low energy consumption.

60 -There will often be a few missed spots, which is why we do a second check before testing, and a third check before packing for the next experiment.
47 +Short-period (SP) sensors have limited sensitivity to longer periods, but are otherwise perfectly suitable for earthquake or other high-frequency analysis. They are generally defined as any instrument that begins to **lose sensitivity at periods larger than 10 seconds**. They tend to be smaller and more mechanically robust to broadband sensors.
