Abstract

A computer-based apparatus provides access to complex technical information needed, for example, to maintain and repair complicated equipment, such as a motor vehicle. The apparatus includes a combined user interface and main control module to communicate with at least one remotely operated instrumentation module to control and obtain data by wireless communication. The combined user interface and main control module has an interactive display which enables the user to command the functions of the remotely deployed instrumentation module(s) and enter data through interaction with the display, as well as executes diagnostic application programs and displays information to the user. Alternatively, a separate user interface module and main control module connected by wireless communication can be provided, in which the user interface module not only commands the functions of the instrumentation module(s), but also commands remote execution of diagnostic application programs by the main control module.
