Abstract :
With virtual instrumentation and graphical system design, the application requirements ultimately dictate the shape and form of the structural test and monitoring system. Virtual instrumentation offers more complete, more capable, and lower cost structural test and monitoring systems. This paper will provide an architectural view of modern structural test and monitoring systems, diving into both COTS hardware and software technologies that enable the most advanced and flexible systems available. A case study will also be presented.
