System and method for integrating devices for servicing a device-under-service
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a data acquisition (DAQ) device including a first display, a first wireless transceiver, a mode-selector device configured to select whether the DAQ device operates in a local-control mode or in a remote-control mode and configured to select which DAQ mode of a plurality of DAQ modes the DAQ device will use to receive input signals from a device-under-service while the DAQ device operates in the local-control mode, and an input element configured to receive the input signals from the device-under-service; and
a display device including a second display and a second wireless transceiver,wherein, when the DAQ device operates in the remote-control mode selected by the mode-selector device, the DAQ device operates in a DAQ mode selected from among the plurality of DAQ modes by the display device,wherein the input element is configured to generate first data from input signals received from the device-under-service while the DAQ device operates in the local-control mode and to provide the first data to the first display for visual presentation of the first data via the first display,wherein the input element is configured to generate second data from input signals received from the device-under-service while the DAQ device operates in the remote-control mode and to provide the second data to the first wireless transceiver,wherein the first wireless transceiver is configured transmit the second data to an air interface for transmission to the second wireless transceiver, andwherein the second wireless transceiver is configured to receive the second data from the air interface and to provide the second data to the second display for visual presentation of the second data via the second display.

Abstract
A system comprising multiple devices that are operable when servicing a device-under service is described. A data acquisition (DAQ) device and a scanner device of the system are operable to acquire data from the device-under-service and to transmit the acquired data to a display device of the system. The DAQ device can operate in a local-control mode in which selection of DAQ mode for the DAQ device is carried out at the DAQ device. The DAQ device can operate in a remote-control mode in which selection of a DAQ mode for the DAQ device is carried out at the display device. The multiple devices may communicate with each other via one or more wireless network via one or more air interface protocols. Each device of the system may operate as a stand-alone device or in combination with multiple devices of the system.

11. A method comprising:
-
selecting a local-control mode via a mode-selector device of a data acquisition (DAQ) device, wherein the mode-selector device is configured to select whether the DAQ device operates in a local-control mode or in a remote-control mode and is configured to select which DAQ mode of a plurality of DAQ modes the DAQ device will use to receive input signals from a device-under-service while the DAQ device operates in the local-control mode; generating, at an input element of the DAQ device, first data from input signals received from a device-under-service while the DAQ device is operating in a local-control mode; visually presenting the first data at a first display while the DAQ device is operating in the local-control mode, wherein the first display is located at the DAQ device, and wherein the DAQ device includes a first wireless transceiver; selecting the remote-control mode via the mode-selector device, wherein, when the DAQ device operates in the remote-control mode, the DAQ device operates in a DAQ mode selected from among the plurality of DAQ modes by a display device; generating, at the input element of the DAQ device, second data from input signals received from the device-under-service while the DAQ device is operating in a remote-control mode; transmitting, via the first wireless transceiver, the second data generated at the input element to an air interface for transmission to a second wireless transceiver at the display device that includes a second display; and receiving the second data at the second wireless transceiver and providing the second data, received at the second wireless transceiver, to the second display for visual presentation of the second data via the second display. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
