Abstract: A system for measuring a device under test (DUT) includes a computing device and a measurement device that measures an electrical or physical parameter of the DUT. The computing device receives and stores measurement data in a DUT record associated with the DUT. The computing device further obtains a first image of the DUT, displays the first image as a reference image with a first reference frame, receives a live image of the DUT from an image sensor, and displays the live image with a second reference frame that corresponds to the first reference frame. A cursor on the live image moves according to movement of the image sensor relative to the DUT. A second image of the DUT is obtained, wherein the second image is substantially aligned with the reference image based on an alignment of the cursor with the second reference frame. The second image is stored in the DUT record.

Abstract: A smart phone user captures video and still images of a motor and makes a sound recording of his observations. The images and recordings are tagged with a date/time stamp, a serial number, bar code, matrix code, RFID code, or geolocation and sent wirelessly to an infrared camera. The infrared camera has a collocation application that reads the tag and creates a folder which holds the infrared image and the auxiliary information from the smartphone related to an asset. The collocation program also adds icons to the infrared image. By operating the user interface (not shown) of the infrared camera, the user may select an icon to view the images and listen to the sound recording.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for obtaining and maintaining maintenance records for various assets are described. In one embodiment, a computing device may be wirelessly coupled to a measurement device when the computing device is placed in proximity with the computing device. Upon measuring one or more parameters of a device under test (DUT), the measurement device may provide the measured parameters to the computing device in the form of measurement data. In some embodiments, the computing device associates the measured parameters with the corresponding DUT from which the measurements were obtained and provides the associated measured parameter to, for example, a service provider for future access. In another embodiment, the measurement device itself is configured to associate the measurement parameters with the DUT and provide the associated measurement parameters to the service provider.

Abstract: A mobile computing device establishes a first communication connection with a remotely-located server and receives at least one work order from the server. The work order indicates one or more measurement tasks associated with specified equipment to be measured and one or more required measurement tools for performing each measurement task. The work order is displayed to a user, and in response to the user bringing the mobile computing device into a communication range of a required measurement tool for at least one measurement task in the work order, the mobile computing device establishes a second communication connection with the required measurement tool and receives measurement data pertaining to the specified equipment. In response to receipt of the measurement data, the mobile computing device automatically associates the measurement data with one or more specific data entry fields of the work order pertaining to the measurement task performed.
