Abstract
The present disclosure provides an aircraft engine graphical diagnostic tool, as well as a method and electronic device for operating the same. The graphical diagnostic tool comprises an input element configured for obtaining a data value for a first data dimension, and a visualization element having at least two dimensions. The visualization element is configured for presenting a dataset for at least second and third data dimensions associated with the first data dimension. The dataset presented by the visualization element is selected based on the data value for the first data dimension.
Claims18
An aircraft engine graphical diagnostic tool for displaying three-dimensional data relating to an operational parameter of an aircraft engine, comprising:
- a display screen configured to render:
- an input element configured for obtaining a data value in a first data dimension of the three-dimensional data;
- and
- a visualization element configured for graphically presenting a two-dimensional dataset from the three-dimensional data, the two-dimensional dataset having a second data dimension and a third data dimension of the three-dimensional data, the two-dimensional dataset associated with the data value in the first data dimension in the three-dimensional data.
An electronic device for diagnosis of an aircraft engine, comprising:
- a processing unit;
- a display device for displaying three-dimensional data relating to an operational parameter of the aircraft engine, the display device communicatively coupled to the processing unit;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions executable by the processing unit for causing the processing unit to display, via the display device:
- an input element configured for obtaining a data value in a first data dimension of the three-dimensional data;
- and
- a visualization element configured for graphically presenting a two-dimensional dataset from the three-dimensional data, the two-dimensional dataset having a second data dimension and a third data dimension of the three-dimensional data, the two-dimensional dataset associated with the data value in the first data dimension in the three-dimensional data.
A method for operating an aircraft engine graphical diagnostic tool, comprising:
- receiving three-dimensional data relating to an operational parameter of an aircraft engine;
- obtaining, via an input element rendered on a display screen of the graphical diagnostic tool, a data input indicative of a data value in a first data dimension of the three-dimensional data;
- obtaining a two-dimensional dataset from the three-dimensional data, the two-dimensional dataset having a second data dimension and a third data dimension of the three-dimensional data, the two-dimensional dataset being associated with the data value for the first data dimension;
- and
- presenting the two-dimensional dataset for the second and third data dimensions via a visualization element rendered on the display screen of the graphical diagnostic tool.
