23 23  
24 -FIFO (first in, first out) data mode is safest as this will overwrite old data in case you forgot to clear the storage. At <= 250 hz you can fit 4++ months of data on these, shouldn't be an issue.
20 +== GPS Considerations ==
25 25  
26 -Be sure to set the channel types to Seismic and the gain appropriately. For active source (i.e. explosions) you can leave the gain at 0, but for passive experiments some gain is purported to be helpful (although we have found this to be somewhat negligible). We can confirm that 6db for the broadband nodes and 24db for the short period works well.
22 +The GPS antenna is at the top and center of the unit, and will (usually) only receive signal with a clear sky view directly above. The signal is able to penetrate plastic and terracotta planters and a thin layer of soil, but may struggle if the soil layer is too thick. The BD3C will not start recording without first attaining a GPS lock.
27 27  
28 -In newer versions of the software there is a "power consumption" setting.. we are no sure what this does exactly, but the manual says it gives life a "boost" at the expense of about 3 db of resolution. Until this can be quantified a bit better it is not recommended.
24 +== Keeping the Instruments Clean ==
29 29  
30 -Storage type can be DLD (proprietary) or Miniseed. We assume the software works best with their proprietary format so prefer not to risk any issues. You can output to miniseed later.
26 +Use a (**landfill**, not //compost//) degradable bag when installing to keep the instrument clean. This will save you many hours of time cleaning them in preparation for their return. [[Here is a video>>http://auspass.edu.au/field/bd3c_removal.mp4]] demonstrating its effectiveness.
31 31  
32 -GPS mode is best in cycle mode (e.g. once per hour) instead of constant. The clock drift on these are almost nil even if there is no sync at all, so it's best to conserve power.
33 33  
34 -We recommend that the SP 16HR-3C be set to a gain of 24db for passive experiments and no higher than 250 Hz sampling rate unless there is an explicit reason to do so. The BD3C-5 should be set to a gain of 6db (which is the maximum allowed) for passive experiments (or 0 db if active).
29 += Charge Time, Instrument Life, and Charge During Storage & Shipping =
35 35  
36 -**Note that this gain must be removed when exporting to miniseed, **otherwise amplitudes will be a factor of either 15.84893192 (24db) or 2 (6db) too high. We also recommend disabling bluetooth to increase battery life, and to enable "FIFO" mode just in case old data is still present on the units and you run out of space (although it is unlikely you will go over 64 Gb for one deploy). If using the "timed turn-on" option, please be aware that **the units will not begin recording until they have acquired a GPS lock**, which may nor occur if they are buried too deeply or have very poor sky view.
31 +Both nodes take about 6-8 hours to charge from flat and hold their charge reasonably well, however you may benefit from a "top up" charge immediately prior to deploy. The instruments should last around 30 days per cycle (recording at 250hz) with GPS on cycle on and bluetooth disabled.
37 37  
38 -= **Fieldwork Preparation** =
33 +Upon retrieval, the instruments should not be stored flat as this will damage the batteries. It is recommended to charge them back up "to orange" such that they are charged around ~~50-60%. This is also acceptable for shipping.

AMF Magnetics is a good retailer, and [[this item>>https://magnet.com.au/collections/shop?q=23012B]] seems to work well. It is also advantageous to use smaller magnets and store/carry them individually in your back pocket (as well as stick them to various places in your field vehicle, etc).

Note that to avoid registering the same node twice, you can simply replace the file each time you do the registration.
