1. A method for controlling a plurality of equipment items to perform spatial pattern analysis, comprising the steps of:
providing a plurality of equipment items comprising a processor, an input/output (I/O) system, a data storage medium comprising a random access memory and another storage system, a multi-axis sensor configured to determine three-axis orientations, a global positioning system (GPS), a real time kinematics (RTK)/GPS system, a display, and a radio frequency (RF) transmitter/receive station configured to receive, transmit and measure RF signals; inputting configuration data pertinent to a test into a database stored on said data storage medium using said I/O system, said configuration data including,
a parametric profile of each object involved in said test comprising a transmitting object and a receiving probe coupled to at least some said equipment items, anddimensional offsets of said transmitting object relative to said receiving probe, wherein said offsets define dimensional relationships between GPS, RTK/GPS, and multi-axis sensors and the transmitting and receiving objects such that when the receiving and/or transmitting objects are moved during testing, the dimensional offsets enable precise re-calculation of an actual positional and orientational relationship between the objects based on newly acquired sensor data, defining a test plan and storing said test plan in said data storage medium using said I/O system including a plurality of test points of said transmitting object relative to said receiving probe and a test sequence for controlling at least some equipment items for measurements at said test points; moving a movable object coupled to one of said transmitting object and said receiving probe between said test points; implementing said test plan by operating at least some said equipment items for measuring test data, a position of said movable object and an orientation of said movable object at each test point; determining from said measured position and orientation by operating at least some said equipment items a coordinate location of said one of said transmitting object and said receiving probe and storing determined results on said data storage medium; storing said measured test data and said coordinate location on said data storage medium; and displaying a graphical user interface on said display including a graphical representation of said transmitting object, said receiving probe, said test points, and progress of said measuring. |
