First Claim
1. A system including:
- an tool positioned proximate an object under test and configured to generate data representative of one or more characteristics of the object under test; and
a mobile device configured to receive a first set of data associated with data generated by the tool, the first set of data including at least location data representative of the location of the tool and/or the object under test and one other signal representative of one or more characteristics of the object under test;
whereinwhen the mobile device is brought to within a predetermined proximity of the tool, the mobile device receives a second set of data from the tool.

Abstract
Systems can include a tool configured to generate a first set of data representative of an object and a control station configured to receive the first set of data from the tool. A mobile device in communication with the control station can receive data from the control station including information regarding the object based on the data received from the tool. A user of the mobile device, such as a technician, can travel to the location of the tool, and, when the mobile device is within a predetermined proximity of the tool, the tool can communicate directly with the mobile device. The technician can use the mobile device to communicate with and control the tool in order to safely perform equipment analysis.

13. A system for monitoring the operation of at least one object comprising:
-
a tool configured to generate a first set of data representative of an object, the first set of data including identification data identifying the object and object data representative of at least one property of the object; a control station in communication with the tool and configured to receive the first set of data from the tool; and a mobile device in communication with the control station;
whereinin the event that the object data corresponding to the object meets a predetermined condition, the control station communicates a second set of data to the mobile device, the second set of data including identification data identifying the objet for which the corresponding object data satisfies the predetermined condition; and when the mobile device is within a predetermined proximity of the tool, the tool communicates a third set of data to the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. A method for monitoring equipment at a remote facility comprising:
-
generating, with a first tool, a first set of data representative of at least one parameter of an object under test, the object under test being located at a first location; communicating the first set of data to a remote facility; communicating a second set of data from the remote facility to a mobile device, the second set of data being based on the first set of data; and in the event that the mobile device comes within a predetermined proximity of the first tool, communicating a third set of data from the first tool to the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34)
