Patent Images
1. A computer that converts data, comprising:
- a processor to process information and operate the computer;
a memory of the computer storing software and communicating with the processor; and
a communication interface that allows the computer to communicate with a remote diagnostic device, wherein the software includes a platform abstraction module and a data converter module, the platform abstraction module directs which formula the data converter module uses to convert a data received from the remote diagnostic device based on the platform abstraction module'"'"'s determination of the data'"'"'s platform.

Abstract
An apparatus and method are provided and include a formula server having formulas and conversion modules that are separate from a diagnostic application of a diagnostic tool. The diagnostic tool receives the diagnostic data and transmits it to a remote computer, where the data is converted using a formula. The resulting data is then transmitted back to the diagnostic tool for display.
