Abstract:
1. A test system for measuring operating parameters of a distributed system, said test system comprising: a testing device including a connector for connection to a test point, a memory for storing instructions for a plurality of test sequences and for identifying and formatting captured data for storage and/or transmission, a processor responsive to commands for executing said instructions to perform said test sequences˜ capturing and analyzing data responsive to said test sequences and to identify data captured responsive to said test sequences and storing results of said capturing and analyzing data, and a short range communication structure capable of transmitting said results of said capturing and analyzing data; a controller physically separate from said testing device including a manual input arrangement, a processor responsive to said manual input arrangement for controlling storage and execution of said instructions for a plurality of said test sequences in said testing device and receiving, storing, further analyzing results of said capturing and analyzing and displaying data captured by said testing device, and an interpreter to associate data captured responsive to said test sequences with portions of a display; and a communication link complementary to said short range communication structure between said testing device and said controller for communicating control signals and said instructions for a plurality of said test sequences from said controller to said testing device and communicating said data captured and analyzed by said testing device to said controller when said testing device is within communication range of said controller over said communication link including said short range communication structure, and a display for displaying said results of said capturing and analyzing, when received from said testing device, and results of said further analyzing of said results.
