System and method for integrating devices for servicing a device-under-service

摘要

A system comprising multiple devices that are operable when servicing a device-under service is described. A data acquisition (DAQ) device and a scanner device of the system are operable to acquire data from the device-under-service and to transmit the acquired data to a display device of the system. The DAQ device can operate in a local-control mode in which selection of DAQ mode for the DAQ device is carried out at the DAQ device. The DAQ device can operate in a remote-control mode in which selection of a DAQ mode for the DAQ device is carried out at the display device. The multiple devices may communicate with each other via one or more wireless network via one or more air interface protocols. Each device of the system may operate as a stand-alone device or in combination with multiple devices of the system.

1. A system comprising:
a data acquisition (DAQ) device including a first display, a first wireless transceiver, and an input element configured to receive input signals from a device-under-service; and a display device including a second display and a second wireless transceiver, wherein the DAQ device operates in a local-control mode and in a remote-control mode, wherein the input element is configured to generate first data from input signals received from the device-under-service while the DAQ device operates in the local-control mode and to provide the first data to the first display for visual presentation of the first data via the first display, wherein the input element is configured to generate second data from input signals received from the device-under-service while the DAQ device operates in the remote-control mode and to provide the second data to the first wireless transceiver, wherein the first wireless transceiver is configured to transmit the second data to an air interface for transmission to the second wireless transceiver, and wherein the second wireless transceiver is configured to receive the second data from the air interface and to provide the second data to the second display for visual presentation of the second data via the second display.
