Abstract
A system for monitoring a moving component includes an input device directed at the moving component. The input device generates a signal reflective of a position of the moving component. A processor in communication with the input device receives the signal from the input device and generates a graph reflective of the position of the moving component. A method for monitoring a moving component includes recording the moving component as it moves and graphing locations of the moving component.
