Abstract
A device for diagnostic of an electronic based product includes a plurality of sensors for monitoring parameters associated with product. Each sensor generates at least one of an analog signal and a digital signal upon monitoring of a parameter. The device further includes a plurality of converters for converting analog signals to digital signals, a processing module for determining abnormal parameter conditions based on comparing digital signals to threshold parameter values. Each abnormal parameter condition corresponding to a parameter is determined based on comparison of a digital signal associated with the parameter and a threshold parameter value corresponding to the parameter. The device further includes a memory module configured to store information associated with the abnormal parameter conditions, and a communication interface to provide the information to external devices for diagnosis of the product.
