Measuring seismic activity using ProtoCentral OpenPressure

Seismic activity or "Vibrations of the earth" is measured using ProtoCentral's OpenPressure 24-bit DAQ System. A geophone is a magnetic device used to measure the Earth's normal vibrations (some abnormal during events such as earthquakes).
