Abstract
An electronic tool for copying a plurality of settings from a first mechanical tool to a second mechanical tool comprises: a smart device having a processor, and having a non-transitory memory storing program instructions executable on the processor. The program instructions are configured, when executed on the processor, to: read the plurality of settings from the first mechanical tool; and write the plurality of settings to the second mechanical tool.
Claims20
A method for copying a plurality of settings from a first mechanical tool to a second mechanical tool, comprising:
- providing an electronic tool configured to interface with the first mechanical tool and the second mechanical tool;
- reading the plurality of settings from the first mechanical tool using the electronic tool, the first mechanical tool in the form of a precision fastening tool operative to drive fasteners at a speed and/or torque value, the settings related to a predefined speed and/or predefined torque value;
- and
- writing the plurality of settings to the second mechanical tool using the electronic tool;
- wherein the second mechanical tool is a precision fastening tool operative to drive fasteners at a speed and/or torque value based on the plurality of settings written to the second mechanical tool as a result of the writing the plurality of settings.
An electronic tool for copying a plurality of settings from a first mechanical tool to a second mechanical tool, the first mechanical tool and the second mechanical tool in the form of a precision fastening tool operative to drive fasteners at a speed and/or torque value, the electronic tool comprising:
- a smart device having a processor, and having a non-transitory memory storing program instructions executable on the processor, wherein the program instructions are configured, when executed on the processor, to:
- read the plurality of settings from the first mechanical tool, the plurality of settings including a predefined speed and/or predefined torque value which relate to the speed and/or torque value that the first mechanical tool can be driven;
- and
- write the plurality of settings to the second mechanical tool.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium readable by a processor and storing program instructions executable on the processor to copy a plurality of settings from a first mechanical tool to a second mechanical tool using an electronic tool, including to:
- read the plurality of settings from the first mechanical tool using the electronic tool, the first mechanical tool in the form of a precision fastening tool operative to drive fasteners at a speed and/or torque value, the plurality of settings including a predefined speed and/or predefined torque value which relate to the speed and/or torque value that the first mechanical tool can be driven;
- and
- write the plurality of settings to the second mechanical tool using the electronic tool, the second mechanical tool in the form of a precision fastening tool operative to drive fasteners at a speed and/or torque value.
