System and method for measuring torque and angle

A method of applying torque to a work piece by a tool having a drive, a controller, a torque sensor, a gyroscope, and a display, the method comprising:

• receiving a minimum torque value and a maximum torque value;
• determining a minimum rotational angle value and a target torque value;
• receiving, from the torque sensor, a measurement representing an amount of torque applied to the work piece;
• receiving a rotational angle applied to the work piece when the amount of torque applied to the work piece reaches the minimum torque value;
• measuring the amount of torque applied to the work piece and the rotational angle applied to the work piece until the amount of torque applied to the work piece reaches the maximum torque value;
• and
• comparing a measured rotation angle between the minimum and maximum torque values to the minimum rotational angle value.

A method of measuring an amount of torque applied by a tool to a work piece, the method comprising:

• receiving a minimum torque value and a maximum torque value;
• receiving a minimum rotational angle value and a maximum rotational angle value;
• receiving, from a torque sensor, a plurality of torque measurements of amounts of torque applied to the work piece;
• determining rotational angle measurements from rotational velocity measurements received from a gyroscope;
• recording the torque measurements and the rotational angle measurements until a target value is reached, the target value including at least one of the minimum torque value, the maximum torque value, the minimum rotational angle value, and the maximum rotational angle value;
• and
• providing an indication upon reaching the target value.
