Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a data acquisition (DAQ) device including a first display, a first wireless transceiver, a mode-selector device configured to select whether the DAQ device operates in a local-control mode or in a remote-control mode and configured to select which DAQ mode of a plurality of DAQ modes the DAQ device will use to receive input signals from a device-under-service while the DAQ device operates in the local-control mode, and an input element configured to receive the input signals from the device-under-service; and a display device including a second display and a second wireless transceiver, wherein, when the DAQ device operates in the remote-control mode selected by the mode-selector device, the DAQ device operates in a DAQ mode selected from among the plurality of DAQ modes by the display device, wherein the input element is configured to generate first data from input signals received from the device-under-service while the DAQ device operates in the local-control mode and to provide the first data to the first display for visual presentation of the first data via the first display, wherein the input element is configured to generate second data from input signals received from the device-under-service while the DAQ device operates in the remote-control mode and to provide the second data to the first wireless transceiver, wherein the first wireless transceiver is configured transmit the second data to an air interface for transmission to the second wireless transceiver, and wherein the second wireless transceiver is configured to receive the second data from the air interface and to provide the second data to the second display for visual presentation of the second data via the second display.
