  • Publication number: 20140081593
    Abstract: A monitoring system for use in monitoring operation of a rotating device includes a first monitor including a first processor. The first monitor is configured to receive a phase reference signal from a rotation sensor, wherein the phase reference signal is indicative of a phase of rotation of the rotating device, generate a timestamp indicative of a time at which the phase reference signal was received, and generate a synchronization message including the timestamp and an indication that the phase reference signal was received. The monitoring system also includes a second monitor operatively coupled to the first monitor and comprising a second processor. The second monitor is configured to receive the synchronization message from the first monitor and synchronously sample at least one measurement based on the synchronization message.
