Overview
Distributed Monitoring System for Large Structures
GST5 modules acquire static or dynamic readings from a wide variety of sensor types like the SS4 and AST modules. Multiple GST5 modules are connected end-to-end using a single network cable creating a distributed monitoring system with high-speed simultaneous sampling ideal for health monitoring large structures such as bridges and dams. This advanced distributed monitoring system simplifies installation and reduces project costs. Each GST5 module provides four 24-bit resolution high-accuracy converters with automatic fifth-order digital low-pass anti-alias filters designed for high-speed simultaneous sampling. Our GST5 modules are typically mounted inside a waterproof enclosure with our MUXTR signal conditioning panel which provides removable wire connection plugs, anti-aliasing filters, and overvoltage protection circuitry.
