System of connections and transport of data registered from lightning discharges.

This paper is dedicated to connection links and data transportation methods of monitoring system in real time for measurement of direct lightning currents. There are a few different ways to record and locate lightning flashes. To confirm recorded events, different independent systems were used on Broadcasting Center of Montenegro (RDC). Four sensors are embedded and integrated in one system: current transformer, IP camera, electric field sensor and transient recorders. Software platform is developed for lightning activity monitoring system (LAMS) and it provides services for collection, transportation and processing of measured data. Additionally, lightning activity monitoring system is connected with an international lightning location system (LINET). A great number of data were collected, analyzed and compared.
