USER INTERFACE FOR TOOL CONFIGURATION AND DATA CAPTURE
First Claim
1. A method of programming a power tool, the method comprising:
- establishing, with a transceiver, a communication link between a power tool and an external device, the external device having the transceiver and an electronic processor;
receiving, with the transceiver, a first mode profile stored on the power tool, the first mode profile being defined by a profile type and a first value associated with a parameter for executing the profile type;
displaying, at the external device, a control screen including the profile type and the parameter at the first value;
receiving a user input at the external device;
generating, in response to the user input, a second mode profile by modifying the parameter to be at a second value; and
transmitting, with the transceiver, the second mode profile to the power tool.

Abstract
A programmable power tool and method and systems of programming a power tool using wireless communication. An external device having a processor and a transceiver establishes a communication link with the power tool. The external device receives, with the transceiver, a first mode profile stored on the power tool. The first mode profile is defined by a profile type and a first value associated with a parameter for executing the profile type. The external device displays a control screen including the profile type and the parameter at the first value, and receives a user input. The external device generates, in response to the user input, a second mode profile by modifying the parameter to be at a second value. The external device transmits, with the transceiver, the second mode profile to the power tool.

12. A method of programming a power tool, the method comprising:
-
establishing, with a transceiver, a communication link between a power tool and an external device, the power tool including the transceiver, a memory, and an electronic processor; transmitting, with the transceiver, a first mode profile stored on the memory, the first mode profile being defined by a first profile type and a first value associated with a parameter for executing the first profile type; receiving, with the transceiver, a second mode profile from the external device, the second mode profile being defined by the first profile type and a second value associated with the parameter for executing the first profile type; overwriting in the memory, with the electronic processor, the first mode profile with the second mode profile; and operating, with the electronic processor, the power tool according to the second mode profile. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A power tool device comprising:
-
a motor; a wireless communication controller including a transceiver, the wireless communication controller configured to establish a communication link between the power tool and an external device; and a memory configured to store a mode profile for operating the motor; and an electronic processor coupled to the motor, the memory, and the wireless communication controller, the electronic processor configured to transmit, with the transceiver, a first mode profile stored on the memory, the first mode profile being defined by a first profile type and a first value associated with a parameter for executing the first profile type, receive, with the transceiver, a second mode profile from the external device, the second mode profile being defined by the first profile type and a second value associated with the parameter for executing the first profile type, overwrite, on the memory, the first mode profile with the second mode profile, and control the motor to operate according to the second mode profile. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23)
