The existing level of deployed technology today, to use an analogy, would be a doctor using a stethoscope which provides an occasional sample of the heartbeat of the system. The latest generation of montioring devices based on synchrophasers provides quite a useful advance, similar to having an x-ray machine which provides far greater details of the system. However, what Synaptec is proposing is similar to an MRI machine, where you get a very detailed look into all aspects of the system.
