J.1 PRESENTATION
RDS Toolbox contains an interface for a “Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology” on the arm
(SMART): it is checking the global status of the arm, connection and its components through several
indicators on the system.
RDS Toolbox collects all the SMART information every time an arm is connected to the computer. Thus, it
is possible to have a look on the detailed status of all the previously connected arms (including the currently
connected one) and components. This includes several indicators and possible alerts if some indicators
overpass specified limits.
Several indicators get information from sensors on the arm; even when the arm is not connected, the
sensors collect data. The data are synchronized with HEXAGON SERVER through the computer (SMART
Data set packages) as soon as the arm is connected to the computer.
With this tool, it is possible to survey the arm and prevent from potential damages.
