Purpose: The research discusses the programming and setup of a frequency-selective Graphical User Interface (GUI) for a seismograph.
Materials and Methods: GUI was developed using Visual Basic Net with C language and Dundas Software which serves as the interface between the hardware system and the laptop to display real-time signals sent by the geophones. The studies conform to the feature of standard simulation and assist the users to perform a system-level simulation and reception of data from the geophones.
Findings: It allows the users to choose frequencies between the available frequencies, design a layout, and view the results. Users can choose and read the output display, making the measurements easy to record.
Implication to Theory, Practice and Policy: The GUI is explained with respect to the graphical layout and the interactive features of the components. The GUI picks from the low Band frequency cutoff of 1.989 x 10-5Hz, 1.061 x 10-3Hz for High Pass and Band-Pass cut-off.
