Any remote station that has the subscribe permission can connect to the server using the client software.<br />

This software is highly customized and it can perform intensive real-time data analysis. Below is an<br />

example of client software.<br />

Picture 4.1 Client software screen shot<br />

This client software computes in real-time acceleration, velocity, and displacement. It also computes the<br />

response spectrum for a user-selected channel. Functions as on-demand and scheduled data recording can<br />

be seen on the same picture.<br />

5. FINAL REMARKS<br />

<strong>The</strong> characteristics which make the systems/concept presented in this paper state-of-the-art solution are:<br />

• High number of channel count<br />

• Reliable data acquisition and real-time data broadcasting<br />

• Simultaneous real-time connection of multiple clients<br />

• Real-time intensive data analysis focused on initial and cumulative damage assessment<br />

• Long term structural health monitoring<br />

• Exports data directly to standard commercial analysis software packages<br />
