Abstract
A diagnostic instrument for sources of electrical system discharges provides a map interface for controlling playback of collected signal traces. A map pane of the interface displays a map of an area illustrating a path along which signal data was collected. A double click input selecting a location on the path causes playback of a waveform for the recorded signal in a signal pane commencing from the selected location.
Claims5
A method of controlling playback of collected signal data using a computer providing a map interface on a display screen, the method comprising:
- receiving a signal from a receiver and location data from a global positioning receiver;
- recording sampled data of the received signal and the location data;
- displaying a map interface on the display screen having at least a map pane and a signal pane, wherein the map pane displays a map of an area in which the signal and location data was recorded and the signal pane displays a waveform of the recorded signal during playback;
- displaying graphic markings on the map in the map pane illustrating a path traveled during the recording based on the location data;
- in a playback mode of operation of the map interface,
- receiving input by a user of the computer indicating a location selection along the path;
- determining an entry point for the location selection in the recorded data;
- and
- initiating playback of the signal in the signal pane commencing from the entry point.
