With this achievement, the system is able to monitor and record the 3-axis vibrations with respect to an absolute time rather than the local sensor (and computer) time. Acquired 3-axis acceleration data and UTC are transferred via Bluetooth (R) protocol and developed software which enables monitoring and recording of UTC and acceleration data on a PC, respectively. For verification and synchronization quality test of acceleration data, shake-table tests were conducted for simulation of structural displacement and the calculated displacements were compared with a displacement sensor of a commercially available shake table system.en-USGPSacceleration measurementaccelerometersBluetoothcomputerised monitoringdisplacement measurementGlobal Positioning SystemprotocolssensorssynchronisationconferenceObject3337522000853337522000852-s2.0-848941785412-s2.0-84894178541
