  • Electrical panel adapter providing pass through access to electrical signals within an enclosure
    Patent number: 11552460
    Abstract: An electrical panel adapter for an enclosure that is formed of at least one panel includes a main unit having a front portion and a rear portion. The rear portion is positioned inside the enclosure and includes a first plurality of electrical connections adapted to connect to electrical wires and/or equipment located inside the enclosure. The front portion extends through an aperture in the at least one panel and includes a second plurality of electrical connections adapted to connect to one or more electrical devices located outside the enclosure for measurement of both voltage and current inside the enclosure. The second plurality of electrical connections are electrically coupled to the first plurality of electrical connections. The electrical panel adapter enables electrical devices outside the enclosure to be electrically coupled to the electrical wires and/or equipment inside the enclosure without requiring the enclosure to be opened.

  • Triggered operation and/or recording of test and measurement or imaging tools
    Patent number: 10602082
    Abstract: Systems can include a test and measurement tool configured to generate measurement data, and imaging tool configured to generate image data, and a processor in communication with the imaging tool and the test and measurement tool. The processor can be configured to receive image data from the imaging tool and, if the image data satisfies one or more predetermined conditions, trigger the test and measurement tool to perform one or more corresponding operations. Similarly, the processor can receive measurement data from the test and measurement tool and, if the measurement data satisfies one or more predetermined conditions trigger the imaging tool to perform one or more corresponding operations.
