InSite-Lab is an integrated data acquisition, processing, management and visualisation software developed for acoustic emissions and ultrasonic surveying applications typically used in rock testing laboratories or in the field for localised rock testing experiments and rock mass monitoring.


InSite-Lab provides tools for importing, processing and visualising data with a high level of automation, making processing and reprocessing a simple work flow. The package contains advanced interpretation tools to aid your analysis.

InSite-Lab work flow

DESIGN:  Tools to plan arrays and meet specific experimental objectives.


ACQUISTION:  Data acquisition and processing with customisable triggering settings.


PROCESSING:  Manual and automated waveform processing with efficient workflows. Advanced location algorithms. Time-dependent velocity models


INTERPRETATION:  Full 3D visualisation of events and objects with intuitive movement through scene. Enhanced interpretation of acoustic event clouds. Graphical display of ultrasonic survey results.


UNDERSTANDING:  Improve understanding of mechanics with calculation and visualisation of moment tensors.

InSite-Lab features

  • Event detection and triggering from data streams.
  • Windows-based integrated graphical user interface.
  • Manual or automatic processing of event data with range of sophisticated automatic arrival-picking, source location and source parameter algorithms.
  • Waveform filtering with user-configurable filters.
  • Display of colour-density sonograms and polarisograms.
  • Visualisation of complete continuous data streams plotting data as a waveform in the time domain and on a sonogram in the frequency domain.
  • Storage and management of event parameters and waveforms on a remote PC for easy access by multiple users managed with Microsoft's SQL server.

InSite-Lab features

  • Display of the event locations in a 3D scene, allowing rotating, panning, magnify and flying through the scene plus creation of hot planes and 3D objects.
  • Velocity analysis for 'active' data for velocity and amplitude information including calculation of transmission velocities from picked arrivals and waveform cross-correlation for repeated surveys.
  • Calculation and visualisation of source mechanisms and fault plane solutions.
  • Advanced interpretation tools including customisable charting of event parameters (e.g. velocities and amplitudes, b-values, magnitudes), display of preferential orientation described by events through statistical distribution, uncertainty volumes, and cluster analysis.
