Claim:
1. A measurement data collection system comprising: an operator hand-held tool operable to measure a dimensional separation between two target locations on a test object, to generate a measurement signal as a function of said measured dimensional separation, and to transmit said measurement signal to a remote data processing unit in response to an operator input, said data processing unit comprising a processing unit transceiver, a memory device, and a logic based processor, said data processing unit operative to receive said measurement signal and to compare said received measurement signal with a predetermined range of measurement values stored in said memory device, said data processing unit operative to classify and store said received measurement signal as a valid data signal when said received measurement signal falls within said predetermined range of measurement values, and to classify and store said received measurement signal as a functional flag signal when said received measurement signal falls outside of said predetermined range of measurement values.
