Definitions

  • hydraulic circuits and their individual components require initial and regular adjustments to set up the circuit for its intended function and over time to adjust for the condition of the individual components that can affect the performance of the circuit.
  • the performance of such adjustment actions may be referred to as hydraulic tuning of the circuit.
  • the data and/or information may be obtained by one or more of retrieving, receiving, extracting, and identifying it, from one or more sources, which may include the tool and the other system.
  • a method for performing an action comprising: storing electronic program instructions for controlling a controller; and controlling the controller via the electronic program instructions, to: receive input via an input means; and process the input and, on the basis of the processing, control a tool operable to perform at least the action, to perform the action.
  • an actuator for use with the system according to the first broad aspect of the present invention, and/or the method according to the second broad aspect of the present invention, as hereinbefore described.

  • real-time for example“displaying real-time data,” refers to the display of the data without intentional delay, given the processing limitations of the system and the time required to accurately measure the data.
  • near-real-time for example“obtaining real-time or near-real-time data” refers to the obtaining of data either without intentional delay (“real-time”) or as close to real-time as practically possible (i.e. with a small, but minimal, amount of delay whether intentional or not within the constraints and processing limitations of the of the system for obtaining and recording or transmitting the data.
