    Patent number: 5922977
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting a soft foot condition of one or more machines. Several measurements of a soft foot condition of a machine to be tested are made and the numerical output of the measuring device is stored in a memory of the device of the present invention. This information is used to systematically diagnose (or assist in diagnosing) possible causes of such soft foot condition and to provide general or numerical advice on possible corrective action. Such advice will be systematically derived by a computer and will relate to remedies considered to be most effective or important, and will be provided to the operator of such instrument either by a readout on a screen or a display of an instrument employed for this purpose.
