- 7. The portable curing system according to claim 1, wherein there are at least two of the heater connectors and at least two of the temperature sensor connectors.
- 8. The portable curing system according to claim 7, wherein there are at least ten of the temperature sensor connectors associated with each of the heater connectors.
- 9. The portable curing system according to claim 1, wherein the video display is a full color graphical video display.
- 10. The portable curing system according to claim 1, further comprising at least one vacuum sensor connector for receiving a lead of a vacuum sensor and operatively connected to the controller.
- 11. A portable curing system comprising, in combination:
a carrying case; a controller located within the carrying case and having a microprocessor; a vacuum pump located within the case and having at least one vacuum port for connection of a vacuum line; at least one heater connector for receiving a lead of an electrical heater; at least one temperature sensor connector for receiving of a lead of thermocouple; wherein the controller is operably connected to the vacuum pump, the heater connector and the temperature sensor connector; a video display mounted within the carrying case and operably connected to the controller to display information from the controller; and wherein the video display is pivotable between a stowed position and a viewing position.
- 12. The portable curing system according to claim 11, wherein the video display is pivotable at least ninety degrees.
- 13. The portable curing system according to claim 11, wherein the video display is pivotable about a generally horizontal and pivot axis laterally extending between sides of the carrying case.
- 14. The portable curing system according to claim 11, wherein the carrying case has main body and a lid hingedly connected to the main body.
- 15. The portable curing system according to claim 11, wherein the vacuum pump is a venture vacuum pump.
- 16. The portable curing system according to claim 11, wherein there are at least two of the heater connectors and at least two of the temperature sensor connectors.
- 17. The portable curing system according to claim 11, wherein there are at least ten of the temperature sensor connectors associated with each of the heater connectors.
- 18. The portable curing system according to claim 11, wherein the video display is a full color graphical video display.
- 19. The portable curing system according to claim 11, further comprising at least one vacuum sensor connector for receiving a lead of a vacuum sensor and operatively connected to the controller.
- 20. A portable curing system comprising, in combination:
a carrying case; a controller located within the carrying case and having a microprocessor; a vacuum pump located within the case and having at least two vacuum ports for connection of vacuum lines; at least two vacuum sensor connectors located within the carrying case for receiving leads of vacuum sensors; at least two heater connectors located within the carrying case for receiving leads of electrical heaters; at least two temperature sensor connectors located within the carrying case for receiving leads of thermocouples; wherein the controller is operably connected to the vacuum pump, the vacuum sensor connectors, the heater connectors, and the temperature sensor connectors; a touch-screen video display mounted within the carrying case and operably connected to the controller to display information from the controller and input information to the controller; and wherein the video display is pivotable between a stowed position and a viewing position.
