Abstract
A method and system for comparing measurements of a device under test (DUT) to measurements taken of similar equipment are provided. The method includes communicatively connecting a mobile computing device to one or more measurement devices, and receiving measurement data from the one or more measurement devices. The mobile computing device determines an equipment identifier of the DUT, and retrieves information associated with the equipment, which may include previous measurements of other devices or reference documents. The mobile computing device presents the retrieved information along with the received measurement data for comparison.
Claims36
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- determining, by a mobile computing device, an equipment identifier for a device under test (DUT) located at a first equipment location;
- based on the determined equipment identifier for the DUT, retrieving, by the mobile computing device, equipment profile information associated with the equipment identifier;
- presenting, via an interface of the mobile computing device, measurements of the DUT along with the equipment profile information, wherein the equipment profile information includes measurements of equipment similar to the DUT at one or more second equipment locations that are different from the first equipment location of the DUT;
- and
- providing a comparison of a first image of the DUT to a second image of the equipment similar to the DUT by presenting a side-by-side view or a superimposed view of the first image and the second image.
A mobile computing device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- at least one interface,
- wherein the processor is configured to compare measurements of a device under test (DUT) at a first equipment location to measurements taken of equipment similar to the DUT by:
- determining an equipment identifier for the DUT;
- based on the determined equipment identifier for the DUT, retrieving equipment profile information associated with the equipment identifier;
- presenting, via the interface, measurements of the DUT along with the equipment profile information, wherein the equipment profile information includes measurements of the equipment similar to the DUT at one or more second equipment locations that are different from the first equipment location of the DUT;
- and
- comparing a first image of the DUT to a second image of the equipment similar to the DUT by presenting a side-by-side view or a superimposed view of the first image and the second image.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by one or more processors of a mobile computing device, cause the mobile computing device to:
- determine an equipment identifier for a device under test (DUT) located at a first equipment location;
- based on the determined equipment identifier for the DUT, retrieve equipment profile information associated with the equipment identifier;
- and
- present, via an interface, measurements of the DUT along with the equipment profile information that compares the measurements of the DUT to measurements of equipment similar to the DUT at one or more second equipment locations that are different from the first equipment location of the DUT by providing a comparison of a first image of the DUT to a second image of the equipment similar to the DUT in which a side-by-side view or a superimposed view of the first image and the second image are presented.
