A turbine overspeed trip test data system is a portable system by which an operator can electronically gather and log data during a turbine overspeed test. A plurality of sensors can be affixed to various components of the turbine for gathering test data to be received by a processing unit to assess the operation of the turbine overspeed trip protection components. The test data may be compiled into a turbine test log. A method for processing the gathered sensor data is also provided.
