AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Fitting measurement equipment into such a space to perform tests can be quite a challenge
Furthermore, the use of conventional cameras to photograph test equipment in such locations may cause the test equipment to cause damage to the electrical system being measured or injure the technician
These problems can be exacerbated if the technician is wearing gloves or other safety gear that may need to be removed for photographing

Embodiment Construction

[0016] In various embodiments, disclosed herein are methods for generating optical data corresponding to the physical arrangement of a measurement device with an external system being measured by the measurement system, and for associating the measurement data with the optical data systems and methods. The disclosed systems and methods allow for remote troubleshooting, aid in verification of proper settings, and help eliminate operator error as a cause of unexpected measurement results. In at least one example embodiment, the optical data may be generated by optical sensors in the measurement system, which may include camera lenses and charge-coupled devices (CCDs). The measurement system can combine optical data with measurement data and / or setup data to form an image. Optical data, measurement data or images can be delivered to another device to allow viewing of test results and troubleshooting from a remote location.

Abstract

In at least one embodiment, a mobile measurement system includes a handheld device, a measurement device, and an optical sensing device. The measurement device and the optical sensing device are communicatively coupled to the handheld device. The handheld device receives measurement data comprising at least one measured electrical parameter corresponding to a physical property of the external system. The measurement device generates measurement data corresponding to a period of time. The measurement device transmits the generated measurement data to the handheld device. The optical sensing device generates optical data corresponding to an interface of the external system in which the measurement data is being generated with the measurement device. The generated optical data corresponds to a specific time within the measurement time period. The mobile measurement system associates and stores the optical data generated for the particular time with measurement data corresponding to the time period.

Description

Background technique [0001] When performing tests or taking measurements, it is often desirable to record details about the tests performed for record keeping and / or future troubleshooting purposes. For example, a technician may perform multiple measurements on various circuits located within or under a large plant. If the test results are not as expected, the technician may need to go back to the equipment and take additional measurements to verify that the previous measurements were taken correctly. Likewise, technicians may be limited in the words they use to describe measurements performed to customers, supervisors, or colleagues. If, for example, a supervisor or customer wants to verify that the measurements are performed correctly, he or she has to perform the measurements manually. Misdiagnosing problems based on faulty measurements can cost time and money. [0002] It would seem likely that it would be possible for the person performing the measurements to use a con...
