Abstract
A method and apparatus to control the flow of data from a plurality of independent turbine-generator data sources includes converting each serial stream of data from each source into parallelly formatted digital characters. These characters are stored in a dedicated buffer. When the buffer is full or when a specified time lapses for each partially filled buffer, the buffer is emptied through a parallel to serial converter into the data logger.
