Abstract
A system, method and computer application to log signal egress (leakage signal) readings from a test instrument during a “walkout” mode where the technician and test instrument have left a vehicle and troubleshooting is being performed on foot. A unique troubleshooting and discovery dataset is created and capable of revealing problems not previously discoverable using vehicle mounted test instruments. In addition, the dataset may be used for quality control and other purposes such as e.g., providing a report or mapping of the path the technician used during the troubleshooting process. Augmented reality features may also be displayed on the technician's mobile device to facilitate finding the source of one or more leaks.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, said method being performed by a processor on a mobile device and comprising:
- determining that a test instrument is in a walkout mode of operation based on receiving a signal from the test instrument indicative of the walkout mode;
- using a positioning system of the mobile device to combine leakage signal data received from the test instrument with position data to create logged leakage signal data;
- transmitting the logged leakage signal data to an analysis service;
- receiving processed data corresponding to the logged leakage signal data from the analysis service;
- and
- updating a user interface displayed on the mobile device with one or more graphical features associated with a location of a source of the leakage signal data based on the processed data.
A test system comprising:
- a computer application to be executed by a processor on a mobile device to configure the processor to:
- determine that a test instrument is in a walkout mode of operation based on receiving a signal from the test instrument indicative of the walkout mode;
- use a positioning system of the mobile device to combine leakage signal data received from the test instrument with position data to create logged leakage signal data;
- transmit the logged leakage signal data to an analysis service;
- receive processed data corresponding to the logged leakage signal data from the analysis service;
- and
- update a user interface displayed on the mobile device with one or more graphical features associated with a location of a source of the leakage signal data based on the processed data.
