Abstract
Systems and methods for configuring operation of an engine are described herein. A computer-readable label associate with the engine is read by a mobile device to obtain label information having at least one trim value for the engine encoded therein. The at least one trim value is extracted from the label information on the mobile device. The at least one trim value is wirelessly transmitted from the mobile device to a data transmission unit of the engine. The data transmission unit is configured for instructing an electronic engine controller to trim the engine with the at least one trim value during operation of the engine.
Claims14
A method for configuring an operation of an engine, the method comprising:
- reading, by a mobile device, a computer-readable label associated with the engine to obtain label information having at least one trim value for the engine encoded therein, wherein the computer-readable label is provided on a data plate attached to the engine;
- extracting the at least one trim value from the label information on the mobile device;
- wirelessly transmitting the at least one trim value from the mobile device to a data transmission unit of the engine;
- instructing, using the data transmission unit, an electronic engine controller of the engine to trim the engine with the at least one trim value during the operation of the engine;
- and
- trimming the engine using the electronic engine controller by adjusting the operation of the engine with the at least one trim value.
A method for configuring an operation of an aircraft engine, the method comprising:
- reading, by a mobile device, a computer-readable label associated with the engine to obtain label information having at least one trim value for the aircraft engine encoded therein, wherein the computer-readable label is provided on a data plate attached to the engine;
- extracting the at least one trim value from the label information on the mobile device;
- wirelessly transmitting the at least one trim value from the mobile device to a data transmission unit of the aircraft engine;
- instructing, by the data transmission unit, an electronic engine controller to trim the aircraft engine with the at least one trim value during operation of the aircraft engine;
- and
- trimming, by the electronic engine controller, the aircraft engine during operation using the at least one trim value.
