Design of Data Acquisition System of Vibration Signal for Civil Engineering Structure

Abstract

A vibration signal acquisition system was designed based virtual instrument technology. The process and principle design of structure vibration signal acquisition system based on LabVIEW software and CompactRIO hardware were discussed in detail. Finally, system test was conducted by a three story steel frame structure. And the test results were compared with traditional instruments system. The experiment showed that the data acquisition system of structure vibration signal which based on CompactRIO is precise and reliable in measurement results, and can realize multi channel synchronous data acquisition, storage, and support the real-time online data filtering and spectrum analysis and so on.Compared with the traditional platforms, the system proposed in the paper has short development cycle, low cost, user-defined functions, rugged, portable and other advantages. It can be widely used in complex and special building environment, so it will have a broad application prospect in the field of SHM.
