Arrangement for diagnostic vehicle body dimensions - transfers sensor signals to computer interface via infrared, ultrasound or HF to eliminate troublesome cables

摘要

The dimensions of a vehicle chassis are measured using an arrangement with electronic sensors or electrical contacts. The sensor or contact signals are coded. They are than transmitted to IR ultrasound, or HF transmitters. The transmitter sends the signal to a corresponding receiver in a computer interface. The signals define 3-dimensional XYZ points on the vehicle. The vehicle is mounted on planks, with sensors attached to the ends of the planks. ADVANTAGE - Reducesd number of electrical leads.
