Abstract
Embodiments of the invention include systems and methods for providing dynamic segmental signal analysis. According to one embodiment, a method can include acquiring a first signal array and a second signal array, defining at least one event characteristic corresponding to the first signal array, and identifying at least one index in the first signal array that displays the event characteristic. The method can further include analyzing at least one segment from the second signal array corresponding to the index identified in the first signal array, and determining that at least one system condition exists based on analyzing the segment.
Claims20
A method for diagnosing system conditions, comprising:
- acquiring a first signal array and a second signal array;
- defining at least one event characteristic;
- identifying at least one index in the first signal array corresponding to the at least one event characteristic;
- defining at least one tracking band based at least in part on the identified at least one index;
- extracting at least one segment array from the second signal array corresponding to the at least one tracking band;
- analyzing the at least one segment array extracted from the second signal array;
- and
- providing the results of the analysis of the at least one segment array extracted from the second signal array.
A diagnostic system, comprising:
- a memory operable to store computer-executable instructions;
- a communication interface operable for receiving signal data;
- and
- at least one processor in communication with the memory and the communication interface, and operable to access the memory to execute the computer-executable instructions to:
- acquire a first signal array and a second signal array;
- define at least one event characteristic;
- identify at least one index in the first signal array corresponding to the at least one event characteristic;
- define at least one tracking band based at least in part on the identified at least one index;
- extract at least one segment array from the second signal array corresponding to the at least one tracking band;
- and
- analyze the at least one segment array extracted from the second signal array.
