1. Apparatus for monitoring operating conditions of turbines wherein the turbine includes an electronic control panel which provides a plurality of operation signals each signal being indicative of the status of a turbine parameter, said apparatus comprising:

  • a cable selectively coupleable to the turbine control panel during a test period for receiving the operation signals therefrom;

    interface means selectively coupleable to said cable during a test period for receiving the operation signals, said interface means being adapted to scale the operation signals such that they vary within a predetermined voltage range, said interface means including an input/output (I/O) terminal; and

    data processing means selectively coupleable to said I/O terminal during a test period for receiving the scaled operation signals, said processing means being adapted to process the received scaled operation signals to provide user data indicating the operation conditions of the gas turbine, said processing means including memory for storing the user data.
