Fault diagnosis system for remote fault diagnosis of complex equipment, e.g. medical imaging equipment, has menu driven hierarchical software that speeds and improves fault diagnosis, thus reducing down-time

摘要

System for fault diagnosis of faulty equipment (2) has a central database (10) that can be linked to a computer (5) connected to, or integral with, the faulty equipment via a communications network. The database contains a computer program that is designed to carry-out remote fault diagnosis using a hierarchical menu structure with menu lists and menu selection objects that can be used in determining a fault.
