Abstract:

An apparatus to wirelessly monitor selected sensors of a machine having a plurality of sensors includes a touchscreen display configured to display a graphical user interface (GUI) and a processor or processing circuitry that receives and analyzes data wirelessly transmitted from the selected sensors. Selection of the sensors can include display on the GUI of a first user input to receive a selection to select the machine from a predetermined list of machines, a second user input to receive an input to identify and monitor one or more operating characteristics of the machine, and a third user input to receive one or more inputs to individually associate sensor identifiers with graphics corresponding to the candidate sensor selection locations to select the sensors from which to receive and analyze data to monitor the one or more operating characteristics of the machine.
