One has to be careful with how polarity is handled between groups as well, as well as if one is working in integer counts (the ANSIR default) or mV (why anyone uses this is beyond our comprehension). The response information published below is in counts and seems to fit well in huddle tests. Note that these all appear to be sample rate insensitive, and the IGU data has been inverted (multiplied by -1) as described here: [[5Hz Node Polarity Issues>>https://auspass.edu.au/xwiki/bin/view/Data/AusPass%20Data/#HSmartSoloNodePolarityIssues]]

One has to be careful with how polarity is handled between groups as well, and if one is working in integer counts (the ANSIR default) or mV (unclear why anyone would use this as it makes file sizes enormous). The response information published below is in **counts** and seems to fit well in huddle tests.

444 444  
445 445  The 5 Hz nodes are susceptible to horizontal noise due to the placement of geophones in the units, **but this can be mitigated by completely burying the units flush with the ground.** In the below example, the node was set on the floor of our basement set on its plastic carrying case support. As such the amount of horizontal noise noticeably increases above ~~ 10Hz.
