Abstract
A vehicle measurement apparatus and a method for measuring vehicle data are provided. For example, the vehicle measurement apparatus includes a system-on-a-chip (SoC) device configured to integrate a programmable module with a microcontroller unit to receive vehicle data, process the vehicle data, and communicate the processed vehicle data to a remote computer.
Claims20
An oscilloscope, comprising:
- a circuit board, comprising:
- a sensor;
- and
- a programmable system-on-a-chip (SoC) device coupled to the sensor and programmed to implement:
- a field programmable gate array to receive vehicle data from the sensor, and
- a microcontroller unit to process the received vehicle data.
A method of measuring vehicle data using a vehicle measurement apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a system-on-a-chip (SoC) device in the vehicle measurement apparatus, vehicle data that was sensed by a sensor in the vehicle measurement apparatus, the sensor and the SoC device coupled to each other on a common circuit board;
- processing, at the SoC device, the received vehicle data;
- and
- communicating, using a wireless module in the vehicle measurement apparatus, the processed vehicle data to a remote computer.
A wireless oscilloscope, comprising:
- a system-on-a-chip (SoC) device programmed to implement a microprocessor integrated with a programmable module on a circuit board;
- a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) sensor coupled on the circuit board and provides vibration or acceleration data associated with a vehicle to the SoC device for processing;
- and
- a wireless module coupled on the circuit board and to the SoC device to wirelessly transmit the processed vibration or acceleration data received from the SoC device.
A vehicle measurement apparatus, comprising a system-on-a-chip (SoC) device configured to integrate a programmable module with a microcontroller unit to receive vehicle data, process the vehicle data, and communicate the processed vehicle data to a remote computer.
