Abstract
An apparatus and method are provided and include a formula server having formulas and conversion modules that are separate from a diagnostic application of a diagnostic tool. The diagnostic tool receives the diagnostic data and transmits it to a remote computer, where the data is converted using a formula. The resulting data is then transmitted back to the diagnostic tool for display.
Claims20
A computer that converts data, comprising:
- a processor to process information and operate the computer;
- a memory of the computer storing software and communicating with the processor;
- and
- a communication interface that allows the computer to communicate with a remote diagnostic device, wherein the software includes a platform abstraction module and a data converter module, the platform abstraction module directs which formula the data converter module uses to convert a data received from the remote diagnostic device based on the platform abstraction module's determination of the data's platform.
1 more element
A method of converting data using a computer, comprising the steps of:
- receiving platform specific data from a diagnostic device by a processor of the computer;
- converting the data with the processor of the computer using a conversion formula from a data converter module, the conversion formula is chosen at the direction of a platform module based on the platform module's determination of the data's platform;
- and
- transmitting the converted data to the diagnostic device using a communication interface.
1 more element
A computer that converts data, comprising:
- means for processing information and operating the computer;
- means for storing a software, the means for storing communicating with the means for processing;
- and
- means for communicating with a remote diagnostic device, wherein the software includes a platform abstraction module and a data converter module, the platform abstraction module directs which formula the data converter module uses to convert a data received from the remote diagnostic device based on the platform abstraction module's determination of the data's platform.
