iFSC vs StraboField

iFSC (Field Setup Controller) is a Command/Control app for the REF TEK 130 DAS Seismic Recorder via the Serial Port.. iFSC is used to edit and program the acquisition parameters of the DAS. It also provides State-of-Health monitoring with an extensive set of Status commands. State-of-Health monitoring includes acquisition status, RAM and disk usage, GPS status, main and backup battery voltages, time, and temperature. Additional commands allow setting up network connections and checking network status. Data monitoring without stopping acquisition is also available. The Command/Control functionality of this app requires the iFSC cable or WiFi Serial Adapter which are available from the manufacturer of the REF TEK 130 DAS Seismic Recorder.

StraboField is a powerful, all-in-one mobile app designed to streamline your geological fieldwork. Record observations, capture photos and sketches, collect orientation data, create geologic maps and stratigraphic sections — all from a single, map-centered platform. Easily collect spatially referenced data using point, line, or polygon-based Spots. Work across multiple scales using nested Spots and high-resolution image basemaps. Designed by geologists, for geologists, StraboField supports workflows across subdisciplines including structural geology, sedimentology, petrology, volcanology, and geomorphology. ** Key Features: ** * Capture field data with photos, sketches, and notes * Collect georeferenced orientation and spatial data * Use custom or built-in basemaps offline * Create multi-scale observations with nested Spots * Organize and back up data locally or to StraboSpot.org * StraboField is fully functional offline, making it ideal for remote fieldwork. Once online, your data can be synced to the StraboSpot digital data system at StraboSpot.org — an open- source platform supported by the National Science Foundation.
