Abstract
The author focuses on the measurement and recording equipment for the laboratory research of hydraulic fracturing in the conditions of rock pressure simulation. The choice of the test values, discretization intervals and observation periodicity is substantiated. The functional flows of the program code in LabView are presented. The program code ensures synchronous multi-point measurements of deformation, breakdown pressure, acoustic and seismic emission, power fluid flow rate, etc. The recommendations on selecting equipment, sensors and research findings for designing measurement and monitoring systems for geodynamic processes are given.
