Abstract
A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program product for illuminating faults in a wiring system. The wiring system is monitored for a fault during operation of the wiring system. In response to detecting the fault, a location of the fault within the wiring system is estimated. A wiring diagram is presented for the wiring system with an indication of the location of the fault within the wiring system.
Claims20
A computer implemented method for illuminating faults in a wiring system, the computer implemented method comprising:
- monitoring the wiring system for a fault during operation of the wiring system;
- responsive to detecting the fault, estimating a location of the fault within the wiring system;
- and
- presenting a wiring diagram for the wiring system with an indication of the location of the fault within the wiring system.
A data processing system comprising:
- a bus;
- a communications unit connected to the bus;
- a storage device connected to the bus, wherein the storage device includes program code;
- and
- a processor unit connected to the bus, wherein the processor unit executes the program to monitor a wiring system for a fault during operation of the wiring system;
- estimate a location of the fault within the wiring system in response to detecting the fault;
- and present a wiring diagram for the wiring system with an indication of the location of the fault within the wiring system.
A computer program product comprising:
- a computer usable medium having computer usable program code for identifying faults in a wiring system, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer recordable storage medium;
- program code, stored on the computer recordable storage medium, for monitoring the wiring system for a fault during operation of the wiring system;
- program code, stored on the computer recordable storage medium, responsive to detecting the fault, for estimating a location of the fault within the wiring system;
- and
- program code, stored on the computer recordable storage medium, for presenting a wiring diagram for the wiring system with an indication of the location of the fault within the wiring system.
