reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA193680 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The Vibro-Acoustic Measurement System is a distributed computer network designed for monitoring environmental motions. The heart of the system is a master control unit to centrally manage the network as well as to continually record data. Closely coupled to the master is an array processor for the massively parallel data processing required in digital signal processing. Five slave units are coupled to the master. Each slave can handle 16 sensors the system capacity is 80 channels. The network will function using only one voice grade telephone line between the master and each slave.
