INITIATOR DEVICE FOR A DOWNHOLE TOOL

摘要

A method of initiating a process in a downhole tool includes connecting a downhole tool to an initiator device that contains wires capable of creating a loopback and/or loaded condition when a closed connection is made. The initiator device is further capable of indicating successful initiation. The process to be initiated can be any process for which the tool has been programmed, such as the start of a countdown.
