Portable modular industrial data collector and analyzer system
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring dynamic operating conditions of a machine system, comprising:
- a portable processing unit comprising a processor and configured to communicate with a physically separate sensor that detects a dynamic operating condition of a machine system; and
a hand-held unit comprising a display and a user interface, the hand-held unit being physically separate from but in data communication with the portable processing unit to enable a user to analyze data generated by the sensor, wherein the data originates from the sensor physically separate from both the portable processing unit and the hand-held unit.

Abstract
A multi-unit system is disclosed that is configured for hands-free transport to enable remote data collection and data processing for a complex machine system or plethora of rotating machinery. In one embodiment, the system may include a sensor, a portable processing unit, and a hand-held unit that is physically separate from but in data communications with the portable processing unit. The hand-held unit may include a display and a user interface. The portable processing unit may include a processor that is configured to communicate with a sensor that is configured to detect a dynamic operating condition of a machine system. Additionally, the hand-held unit may communicate directly with the sensor. The communication links between the portable processing unit and the sensor; between the hand-held unit and the portable processing unit; and between the hand-held unit and the sensor may be either a wireless connection or a wired connection.
