Claims
- 1. An apparatus for analyzing an automobile, comprising:
- a hands-free user interface device; and
- a first measurement instrumentation device coupled to the automobile and the hands-free user interface device, the first measurement instrumentation device having a capability to receive data from the hands-free user interface device for use in analyzing the automobile.
- 2. The apparatus of claim 1, comprising:
- a wireless transmission link coupled to the hands-free user interface device and the first measurement instrumentation device, the wireless transmission link enables wireless communication between the hands-free user interface device and the first measurement instrumentation device.
- 3. The apparatus of claim 1,
- the hands-free user interface device including a visual display device.
- 4. The apparatus of claim 1,
- the hands-free user interface device including a microphone.
- 5. The apparatus of claim 1,
- the hands-free user interface device including a speaker.
- 6. The apparatus of claim 1, including:
- a processor device for processing audible data.
- 7. The apparatus of claim 1,
- the hands-free user interface device including a pair of glasses having a display device.
- 8. The apparatus of claim 7, including a microphone.
- 9. The apparatus of claim 7, including a speaker.
- 10. The apparatus of claim 1, comprising:
- a second measurement instrumentation device coupled to the automobile and the hands-free user interface device, the second measurement instrumentation device having a capability to receive data from the hands-free user interface device for use in analyzing the automobile.
- 11. The apparatus of claim 10,
- a wireless transmission link coupled to the hands-free user interface device and the first and the second measurement instrumentation devices, the wireless transmission link enables wireless communication between the hands-free user interface device and the first measurement instrumentation device and between the hands-free user interface device and the second measurement instrumentation device.
- 12. The apparatus of claim 1,
- wherein the hands-free user interface device is an audio-activated user interface device.
- 13. A method for analyzing an automobile, comprising the steps of:
- coupling a first measurement instrumentation device to the automobile;
- linking a hands-free user interface to the first measurement instrumentation device;
- using the hands-free user interface to request data from the automobile; and
- transmitting the request from the hands-free user interface to the first measurement instrumentation device.
- 14. The method of claim 13, comprising the steps of:
- providing a display device as part of the hands-free user interface;
- receiving, in the hands-free user interface, the requested data from the first measurement instrumentation device; and
- displaying the requested data in the display device.
- 15. The method of claim 13, comprising the steps of:
- coupling a second measurement instrumentation device to the automobile and the hands-free user interface; and
- transmitting a request for data to the second measurement instrumentation device.
- 16. The method of claim 13,
- providing a wireless transmission link between the hands-free user interface and the first measurement instrumentation device; and
- the transmitting step further comprising the step of transmitting the request to the first measurement instrumentation device through the wireless communication link.
- 17. The method of claim 13,
- providing a speaker device as part of the hands-free user interface;
- receiving, in the hands-free user interface, the requested data from the first measurement instrumentation device; and
- broadcasting the requested data through the speaker device.
