A system comprising:

• a data acquisition device for determining a status of one or more system assets;
• and
• a computing device coupled to said data acquisition device, the computing device comprising:
• a storage device configured to store a model of the plurality of system assets, wherein the model includes:
• a plurality of asset images associated with the one or more system assets;
• and
• one or more component connections representative of one or more conduits coupled to the one or more system assets;
• and
• a processor coupled to the storage device and configured to:
• display the one or more asset images;
• display the one or more component connections;
• select an asset image of the one or more asset images;
• and
• display the status of a system asset associated with the selected asset image.

A method of monitoring operation of a plurality of system assets, said method comprising:

• receiving data representative of a status of one or more system assets;
• displaying a model of the one or more system assets on a display, the model including one or more asset images, wherein each asset image of the one or more asset images is representative of a system asset of the one or more system assets;
• displaying one or more component connections on the display, wherein each component connection is representative of a conduit coupled to at least one system asset of the one or more system assets;
• selecting an asset image of the plurality of asset images;
• and
• displaying the status of a system asset associated with the selected asset image.
