1. A method for dynamically displaying information about a system under test using an interactive electronic technical manual system, wherein said system under test is associated with at least one system key, comprising the steps of:
- receiving mark-up language data at the interactive electronic technical manual system, wherein a portion of said mark-up language data includes at least one translation key, said at least one translation key corresponding to a system key associated with the system under test;
filtering the mark-up language data using a stylesheet to provide filtered mark-up language data; and
displaying the filtered mark-up language data by the interactive electronic technical manual system;
wherein the stylesheet is configured to filter the mark-up language data by comparing a value of each translation key with a value of the system key that corresponds to the translation key, and removing any mark-up language data whose translation key value does not match the value of the corresponding system key.

Abstract
Disclosed is a Class V Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (IETM) that allows remote diagnostic engineers to interact directly with on-site maintenance technicians and a system under test. In addition, the disclosed IETM permits automatic synchronization of files on a maintenance technician'"'"'s portable electronic display device. The disclosed IETM is also capable of dynamically displaying asset specific information and dynamically displaying technical information in multiple languages.

7. A stylesheet for an interactive electronic technical manual comprising:
-
software instructions for enabling a computer to perform predetermined operations; and
a computer readable medium bearing the software instructions;
the predetermined operations including the steps of;
filtering mark-up language data displayed by an interactive electronic technical manual connected to a system under test, said mark-up language data comprising at least one translation key, said at least one translation key corresponding to a system key in the system under test, wherein said stylesheet filters mark-up language data by comparing a value for each system key with a value for the translation key corresponding to each system key. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. An interactive electronic technical manual system for diagnosing faults in a complex system, comprising:
-
a client tier component, wherein the client tier component is configured to interface with the complex system according to a mark-up language encoded diagnostic fault flow;
a middleware tier component, wherein the middleware tier component is configured to receive a request for execution of a diagnostic fault flow from a remote computer and to cause the client tier component to execute the requested diagnostic fault flow; and
a server tier component comprising a database, said database storing mark-up language encoded diagnostic fault flows. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
