Abstract
A system includes a tool that is deploy able into a drill string on a wireline, the tool having at least one orientation sensor. The system can further have a sensor that is configured to sense a gesture of the tool. A computing device in communication with the depth counter can be configured to receive a signal indicative of an output from at least one sensor corresponding to a gesture of a tool that is deploy able into a drill string on a wireline and permit, in response to receiving the signal indicative of the output from at least one sensor corresponding to the gesture, an initialization of at least one orientation sensor of the tool.
Claims26
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, a signal indicative of an output from at least one sensor corresponding to a gesture of a tool that is deployable into a drill string on a wireline;
- and
- causing, by the computing device, after receiving the signal indicative of the output from at least one sensor corresponding to the gesture, an initialization of at least one orientation sensor of the tool.

A system comprising:
- a tool that is deployable into a drill string on a wireline, the tool comprising at least one orientation sensor;
- at least one sensor that is configured to sense a gesture of the tool;
- and
- a computing device configured to be in communication with the at least one sensor that is configured to sense the gesture of the tool, wherein the computing device comprises at least one processor and a memory in communication with the at least one processor, wherein the memory comprises instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- receive a signal indicative of an output from at least one sensor corresponding to a gesture of the tool;
- and
- cause, after receiving the signal indicative of the output from at least one sensor corresponding to the gesture, an initialization of at least one orientation sensor of the tool.
