Interpex Ix1d V350 Portable
Mapping aquifers, detecting freshwater-saltwater interfaces, and estimating salinity.
When combined with modern "portable" computing setups—such as field-ready laptops and ruggedized Windows tablets—the becomes a truly portable, on-site data inversion powerhouse. It provides geophysicists, hydrogeologists, and environmental engineers with real-time interpretation capabilities directly in the field. Core Geophysical Methods Supported
for deep groundwater mapping.
[Field Sounding Data] │ ├───► Smooth Inversion ───► Continuous profile (10 to 100 thin micro-layers) │ └───► Layered Inversion ──► Discrete geologic units (1 to 10 distinct boundaries) 1. Smooth Inversion (Occam's Style)
Together, they create a seamless workflow: The v350 collects raw resistivity/IP data in the field (often with multi-electrode arrays or roll-along spreads), and the IX1D software performs real-time or post-processing inversion to reveal subsurface layers. interpex ix1d v350 portable
Open IX1D Portable. Create a new file and select the appropriate survey geometry. Data can be entered manually into the spreadsheets or imported via ASCII text formats or proprietary instrument files.
Version 3.50 introduced several technical refinements to enhance user workflow and data accuracy:
Whether assessing ground water tables, mineral deposits, environmental contamination, or geotechnical foundations, this processing toolkit bridges the gap between raw field measurements and structural geological interpretations. Core Specifications and Supported Survey Types
Evaluates bulk apparent conductivity data measured in milliSiemens/meter ( Open IX1D Portable
Interprets PFE (Percent Frequency Effect), Chargeability (msec), or Phase (mrad).
Determining the depth to competent bedrock for civil engineering foundations, trenching, and construction projects.
In crowded city streets, setting up a full multi-electrode system with a generator is impossible due to traffic and noise ordinances. The low-profile, battery-operated v350 allows for quick VES soundings between manholes and fire hydrants to map groundwater flow or buried utilities.
The Interpex IX1D V350 Portable is a compact, handheld diagnostic instrument designed for field use by technicians who need quick, reliable measurements of electrical systems and components. Engineered for portability and ease of use, the V350 blends basic multimeter functions with specialized testing features tailored to maintenance, troubleshooting, and on-site verification tasks. Vertical Coplanar (VCP)
: Generates a multi-layered model with fixed thicknesses where resistivity varies continuously. This removes human bias when searching for transition zones like a changing water table. 4. Equivalence Analysis
Export the final geological cross-sections as graphics or save the numerical layer data for integration into larger GIS platforms. Primary Practical Applications
Supports Horizontal Coplanar (HCP), Vertical Coplanar (VCP), and Vertical Coaxial configurations. It processes measurements in percent or parts-per-million (ppm) relative to the primary field.
The software models frequency-domain EM sounding datasets across multiple coil configurations, coil spacings, and variable instrument heights. It natively converts data from popular shallow terrain conductivity meters—such as the Geonics EM-31, EM-34, or EM-38 lines—mapping out apparent conductivity in milliSiemens per meter. 3. Transient Electromagnetic (TEM) & Magnetotellurics (MT)
Reads terrain conductivity values directly in milliSiemens/meter (mS/m), accommodating field tools like the Geonics EM-31 or EM-34.
