Abstract
A system for an embodiment includes a sensor device having at least one sensor adapted to monitor at least one parameter associated with a circuit and selectively provide measurement information on the at least one parameter. The at least one sensor may include an electrical sensor adapted to monitor an electrical parameter of the circuit for the sensor device to selectively provide as the measurement information, and wherein the sensor device includes a wireless transceiver within the sensor device and is adapted to transmit the measurement information and receive control information. The system may further include a receiver indicator device having a wireless transceiver and adapted to wirelessly receive the measurement information from the sensor device, provide the control information to the sensor device, and provide an indication based on the measurement information to a user operating the receiver indicator device.
