TEST AND MEASUREMENT SYSTEM WITH REMOVABLE IMAGING TOOL
First Claim
1. A measurement system comprising:
- a test and measurement tool, the test and measurement tool capable of performing at least one measurement to acquire measurement data representative of at least one parameter of an object;
an imaging tool removably attachable to the test and measurement tool, the imaging tool capable of detecting infrared radiation from a target scene and producing infrared image data;
at least one display in communication with one or both of the test and measurement tool and the imaging tool; and
a communication link capable of providing communication between the test and measurement tool and the imaging tool;
wherein(i) the imaging tool is configured to receive measurement data from the test and measurement tool via the communication link and to display the measurement data and infrared image data simultaneously;
(ii) the test and measurement tool is configured to receive infrared image data from the imaging tool via the communication link and to display the infrared image data and measurement data simultaneously;
orboth (i) and (ii).

Abstract
Test and measurement systems can include a test and measurement tool configured to generate measurement data representative of at least one parameter of an object under test and an imaging tool configured to generate image data representative of a target scene. The imaging tool can be removably attachable to the test and measurement tool. The test and measurement system can include a communication link that can provide communication between the test and measurement tool and the imaging tool. The communication link can facilitate one or both of communication of image data to the test and measurement tool and measurement data to the imaging tool. Systems can include a display in communication with at least one of the test and measurement tool or the imaging tool for presenting at least one of image data or measurement data to a user.
