What is Different between SDS Panel and Sondex DRS Panel?

[Hamed]

Please let me know What is Different between SDS Panel and Sondex DRS Panel?

[Hamed]

Both Panels use Warrior Software. Can we use Sondex DRS panel with other manufacturers PLT tools like as same as SDS?

Hamed,

    I am not completely familiar with the Sondex range of surface equipment but if the DRS panel is not manufactured by Scientific Data Systems (and marked so on the front of the panel) then it does not support the same range of downhole tools from other manufacturers that the SDS Tool Interface Panel supports.

    Regards,

Dear Adam,

Sondex DRS panel use Warrior software, Can this approve that it is compatible with all range of Warrior supported tools?

Hamed,

     the distinction is between the hardware and software. Sondex panels do use SDS Warrior software. The picture in the link you posted is not an SDS manufactured panel and this does not have the internal hardware to support the full range of tools that Warrior software supports, probably only the Sondex manufactured ultralink tool strings.

Dear Adam,

Tnx for the information.

one more question, is the SDS panel ready to use for all supported range tools or it need an extra interface or box for each different manufacturer tools?

Regards,

Hamed

Sondex Ultrawire requires additional hardware (ULM board) mounted in the panel. Most others do not require any additional or special hardware, it is best to inquire about the tools you are interested in with the manufacturer.
