Abstract: The general law of the development of seismic data acquisition system is summarized from six aspects on the basis of the development of seismic exploration instrument. Based on the development tendency of seismic exploration technologies as well as the requirements of geophysics on seismic data acquisition system, the author puts forward that the seismic exploration instrument will be all-digital, with large number of channels, high performance, and good effect. According to the technological progress of modern electronic industry, this paper introduces the general development of the technologies on which seismic data acquisition system depends, and systematically analyzes the main problems of the main seismic data acquisition system nowadays from the perspectives of acquisition and application properties. To meet the requirements of geophysics, this paper looks forward to the main technological features and properties of the future seismic data acquisition system relying on technological development. The purpose is to serve geophysical exploration and provide a good reference for the independent research and development, creative application, and the introduction of advanced seismic data acquisition system in the future.
