First Claim
1. A method for displaying heterogeneous measurement data, comprising:
- collecting heterogeneous scalar measurement data from a plurality of devices connected to a network, at least two of the plurality of devices controlled by heterogeneous protocols;
normalizing the collected heterogeneous scalar measurement data by using a mathematical transform to transform at least two heterogeneous scalar measurement data each into a homogeneous mathematical transform space; and
displaying at least one of the two transformed heterogeneous scalar measurement data.

Abstract
A system to collect heterogeneous scalar measurement data over a network from a plurality of devices connected to the network, and normalize the collected heterogeneous scalar measurement data based on a mathematical transform of collected scalar measurement data into a common mathematical space. The transformed scalar measurement data is displayed in graphical representations such that transformed scalar measurement data from a particular network device can be displayed alongside a graphical representation of a transformed scalar measurement data from a different particular network device. Thus, transformed scalar measurement data from different heterogeneous network devices can be aggregated and displayed in the same graphical representation.
