Real-time sensor acquisition interfacing using MatLAB

One of the most important procedures which must be done in the dam´s monitoring process, from the dam behavior point of view, is the analysis of the data acquired from the sensors mounted inside or in the proximity of the dam. The analysis can be done in two ways: real-time - using a direct dedicated interfacing algorithm with one or more sensors, respectively a so called historical analysis - using large data packets acquired during long time periods. The first acquisition procedure shows the behavior of a sensor at an exact moment, while the second reveals - in the end - the dam behavior and suggests the proper actions that must be taken to secure the dam infrastructure.
