Abstract

The idea of developing a multifunction EM instruments implementing many ground EM methods with a common ideology of processing and interpreting the data has been held by geophysicists from the 1980s of the last century. At the turn of the 1980s and 1990s several companies (Phoenix, Zonge) managed to achieve positive results. However, the equipment of the time remained bulky, heavy, was expensive and low productive. The modern development of electronics and computer technology allows to fully realize the idea of versatility and combine in a single instrument seemingly not possible to be joined in the past MT and VES functions. Portable, multifunction equipment is offered based on 4- and 8-channel EM receivers, with flexible configuration of magnetic and electrical channels. Equipment can effectively implement virtually all ground electroprospecting methods (excluding ground penetrating radar). A set of equipment includes all the necessary elements of hardware and software for productive field work including field recording, processing of field data and interpretation (including complex). That is, system may include one or more wideband EM receivers, wideband current source (transmitter), wideband sensors of electric and magnetic field components, precision tripods for mounting magnetic sensors, set of accessories, and set of software for the operation of equipment, processing, and interpretation of the field data.
