Abstract:
1. A system for mounting a new line replaceable unit (LRU) to a piece of equipment, the system comprising: a handheld inertial measurement unit (IMU) that can be manipulated by a single person wherein the piece of equipment has a first old LRU mount attached thereto and configured to allow a new LRU to be mounted to the piece of equipment at the first old LRU mount; a computer logic in communication with the handheld IMU; a mounting interface configured to be removably mounted to the first old LRU mount attached to the piece of equipment, wherein the handheld IMU is movable toward and away from the mounting interface while the mounting interface is mounted on the first old LRU mount so that the handheld IMU may be positioned adjacent the mounting interface to allow the handheld IMU to determine position data with respect to the first old LRU mount and the piece of equipment while the handheld IMU is positioned adjacent the mounting interface; wherein the computer logic is configured to calculate, based on the position data, a positional error value that can be used to indicate to a user (a) whether corrections need to be made regarding how the new LRU is mounted to the LRU mount before the new LRU is mounted to the LRU mount or (b) whether the new LRU can be mounted to the LRU mount without any corrections.
