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, and an input element configured to receive input signals from a device-under-service; and
a display device including a second display and a second wireless transceiver,wherein the DAQ device operates in a local-control mode and in a remote-control mode,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 to 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:
-
generating, at an input element of a data acquisition (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; 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 a 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)

20. A data acquisition (DAQ) device comprising:
-
a display device; a processor to execute computer-readable program instructions that configure the DAQ device to operate in a first DAQ mode selected from among a plurality of DAQ modes the DAQ device can operate in to acquire data; a wireless transceiver; a mode-selector configured to select whether the DAQ device operates in a local-control mode in which the first DAQ mode is selected by the mode-selector or operates in a remote-control mode in which the first DAQ mode is selected based on data within a mode selection command the wireless transceiver receives wirelessly; and an input element configured to receive input signals from an input-signal-acquisition-point and to generate data from the input signals, wherein data generated from input signals the input element receives while the DAQ device operates in the local-control mode are displayed by the display device but are not wirelessly transmitted by the wireless transceiver, and wherein data generated from input signals the input element receives while the DAQ device operates in the remote-control mode are wirelessly transmitted by the wireless transceiver. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26)

21. A method comprising:
-
executing, by a processor of a data acquisition (DAQ) device, computer-readable program instructions that configure the DAQ device to operate in a first DAQ mode selected from among a plurality of DAQ modes the DAQ device can operate in to acquire data; selecting, by a mode-selector of the DAQ device, whether the DAQ device operates in a local-control mode in which the first DAQ mode is selected by the mode-selector or operates in a remote-control mode in which the first DAQ mode is selected based on data within a mode selection command a wireless transceiver of the DAQ device receives wirelessly while the DAQ device operates in the remote-control mode; receiving, by an input element of the DAQ device, input signals from an input-signal-acquisition -point; and generating, by the input element of the DAQ device, data from the received input signals, transmitting, wirelessly by the wireless transceiver of the DAQ device, data generated from input signals received by the input element while the DAQ device operates in the remote-control mode, and displaying, by a display device of the DAQ device, data generated from input signals the input element receives while the DAQ device operates in the local-control mode, wherein the wireless transceiver does not wirelessly transmit the data generated from input signals the input element receives while the DAQ device operates in the local-control mode. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
