1. A system comprising:
- a mobile device configured to receive input from a user;
a non-destructive testing (NDT) device selected from a group consisting of;
a borescope, a pan-tilt-zoom camera, an eddy current inspection device, an ultrasonic inspection device, and an x-ray inspection device;
one or more processors of the NDT device configured to control operation of the NDT device; and
a communications system of the NDT device configured to receive remote control data from the mobile device, whereinthe remote control data includes one or more of;
virtual control-based control data, gesture-based control data, motion-based control data, and voice-based control data, andthe one or more processors control operation of the NDT device in accordance with the remote control data, the operation of the NDT device including one or more of capturing an image or a video, performing a measurement, and reprogramming a component of the NDT device.

Abstract
A system may include a non-destructive testing (NDT) device. The NDT device may further include a communications system configured to receive control data from an external system, wherein the NDT device is configured to use the control data to control a component included in the NDT device, to control a parameter of the NDT device, or a combination thereof.

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions executable by one or more processors, which when executed cause the one or more processors to:
-
receive remote control data from a mobile device by using a communications system included in a non-destructive testing (NDT) device, wherein the NDT device is selected from a group consisting of;
a borescope, a pan-tilt-zoom camera, an eddy current inspection device, an ultrasonic inspection device, and an x-ray inspection device; andcontrol operation of the NDT device in accordance with the remote control data, the operation of the NDT device including one or more of capturing an image or a video, performing a measurement, and reprogramming a component of the NDT device, wherein the remote control data includes one or more of;
virtual control-based control data, gesture-based control data, motion-based control data, and voice-based control data. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
