US Patent 9541472 Unified data collection and reporting interface for equipment

A method and system for comparing measurements of a device under test (DUT) to measurements taken of similar equipment are provided. The method includes communicatively connecting a mobile computing device to one or more measurement devices, and receiving measurement data from the one or more measurement devices. The mobile computing device determines an equipment identifier of the DUT, and retrieves information associated with the equipment, which may include previous measurements of other devices or reference documents. The mobile computing device presents the retrieved information along with the received measurement data for comparison.
