Advanced Wireless Architectures for Synchronizing Dynamic Measurements with GPS Technology
Matej Krajnc, Kurt Veggeberg · Proceedings of the 6th Australasian Congress on Applied Mechanics · 2010
GPS synchronization enables synchronized measurements over extremely large areas. GPS provides a method of sharing timing signals without the need to run timing cables to each measurement system. Another benefit to GPS is that your data is always time stamped to a global time standard which allows you to associate your data with data sets from other systems which are also synchronized to GPS with a high level of confidence. Some applications which can take advantage of the benefits of GPS that require dynamic signal acquisition include structural monitoring, electrical power grid monitoring, ground vibration monitoring and noise and acoustic imaging.
