Abstract: A system for analyzing a plurality of channels of data received from a sensor array. The system includes a data acquisition system that receives and independently processes each channel. A low-level processing section receives each channel of processed data and identifies signals of interest in one channel. Signals of interest are stored in an event database. A high-level processing section analyzes data occurring over a preset duration of time and across multiple channels of data and communicates with an operator machine interface. The operator machine interface provides analysis to an operator. Further aspects of the system characterize the data in order to indicate the data source and alert the operator to signals having certain predefined characteristics.
