1. A process, comprising:
- receiving, using a microprocessor, an indication of data to be shared, wherein the data has been acquired using one or more non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection devices during inspection of turbomachinery;
receiving a respective format indicating a method in which to send the data and a respective template indicating a layout in which to present the data for each recipient of a list of recipients associated with the data;
receiving one or more recipients of the list of recipients designated to receive the data to be shared, wherein the recipients are determined based on a defect type that corresponds to an asset being inspected by the NDT inspection devices, wherein receiving the one or more recipients comprises;
generating the list of recipients associated with the defect type and data;
receiving a broadcast of a status indicating an availability of each recipient on the list of recipients;
presenting the list of recipients associated with the displayed data upon receiving an input, wherein the list comprises the availability of each recipient on the list of recipients; and
receiving one or more inputs that correspond to the one or more recipients on the list of recipients;
automatically modifying the data into the respective format associated with each recipient of the one or more recipients and sending the modified data to each recipient of the one or more recipients once the data has been acquired by the NDT inspection devices; and
presenting the respective modified data to each recipient of the one or more recipients in a manner based on the respective template associated with the respective recipients.

Abstract
A method for sharing data in a non-destructive testing (NDT) system may include receiving, using a microprocessor, an indication of data to be shared such that the data has been acquired using one or more non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection devices. The method may also include receiving a format in which to send the data, receiving one or more recipients designated to receive the data to be shared; and automatically modifying the data into the format and sending the modified data to the recipients once the data has been acquired by the NDT inspection devices.

9. A computing device comprising a hardware memory storing non-transitory computer instructions configured to:
-
display data acquired using one or more non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection devices during inspection of turbomachinery; receive an input associated with the displayed data, wherein the input indicates that the data is to be shared; receive a template indicating a layout associated with each recipient of a list of recipients in which to present the data; receive one or more recipients of the list of recipients designated to receive the displayed data; receive one or more comments corresponding to the displayed data, wherein the comments are configured to be depicted over the displayed data; modifying the data into a respective format indicating a method in which to send the data to each recipient of the one or more recipients; send the displayed data and the comments associated with the displayed data to each recipient of the one or more recipients, wherein the display data and the comments are displayed together using a first set of timing data associated with the comments and a second set of timing data associated with the displayed data; present the respective displayed data and the comments in a respective format associated with each recipient of the one or more recipients and in a manner based on the respective template associated with the respective recipients; and receive from the recipient a flag indicating whether the data is either rejected or accepted. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions configured to:
-
receive an indication of data to be shared, wherein the data has been acquired using one or more non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection devices during inspection of turbomachinery; receive a respective format indicating a method in which to send the data and a respective template indicating a layout in which to present the data for each recipient of a list of recipients associated with the data; receive one or more recipients of the list of recipients designated to receive the data to be shared, wherein receiving the one or more recipients comprises; generating the list of recipients associated with the data, wherein the list is configured to be organized based on original equipment manufacturers (OEM) of the asset to be inspected by the one or more NDT inspection devices; and receiving one or more inputs that correspond to the one or more recipients on the list of recipients; receive a threshold value corresponding to an expected value associated with the data; automatically modify the data into the respective format and send the modified data to each recipient of the one or more recipients once the data has been acquired by the NDT inspection devices when the data exceeds the threshold value; and present the modified data in a manner based on the respective template associated with the respective recipients. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 20)
