1. A device for use in determining a location of a component of a system, said device comprising:
- a communication interface configured to transmit at least one signal to the component;
a display; and
a processor coupled to said communication interface and to said display, said processor programmed to;
display a representation of the system on said display;
display an expected location of the component within the representation; and
transmit the at least one signal to the component using said communication interface for use in determining an actual location of the component.

Abstract
A device for use in determining a location of a component of a system includes a communication interface configured to transmit at least one signal to the component, a display, and a processor coupled to the communication interface and to the display. The processor is programmed to display a representation of the system on the display, display an expected location of the component within the representation, and transmit the at least one signal to the component using the communication interface for use in determining an actual location of the component.
