Simple online monitoring system

[TKL8]

Hi,
I'm looking for idea for a basic online monitoring system, whereby my requirement is to only trend the overall levels. No spectrum required. I need to monitor a pickup roll both locating and fixing ends real time. However, I'm not sure what kind of hardware I would need for this setup. My requirement is to obtain the vibration signal from a pair of permanently mounted accelerometers and sent the signal to a stand anlone PC for processing and trending, preferably via an Ethernet card or serial cable. Is there such a hardware? I do not wish for a feature-packed or elaborate equipment. Just the basic one.. Hope anyone who has the experience of using one could provide me with some info.
thanks
KL

Two loop powered sensors interfaced to a paperless recorder for trending. Files may also be transfered from the recorder to a PC.

TKL8: Check with National Instruments (

they make hardware and software for data acquisition and analysis. They can be connected to a computer either near the accelerometers or remotely. Check with the accelerometer manufacturer on the effect of long cables.
