Abstract: A dynamic condition monitoring system is disclosed for monitoring dynamic conditions such as vibration in a machine system. The monitoring system includes monitors coupled to sensors instrumenting the machine system. A multi-core processor in the monitors performs complex functions including managing exchange of data from the sensors and remote monitoring equipment, and analysis of the received signals, such as to derive vibration profiles via fast Fourier transform. Cores of the processor may be dedicated to such functions, or the cores may share responsibilities for the functions, such as through multithreading.
