I think you have to much time on your hands.
Don't assume everyone here has expierence with just one thing. Besides being an EMT, I used to do User Interface Engineering , play with Ham Radio, and build computers. I own an Altair 8800 {try buying that}and used to program in octal and hexidecimal. You be surprised who writes here.
How did you come up with a Physco Analasis of M.O. with the statement above.
If you give a mechanic a troubleshooting computer and he has minimal mechanical knowledge of the machine hes fixing,the computer gives the most logical failure first then the next and so on.(if i had a scanner i could show you the tree.
That would be true only with a simple diagnostic tool. One of the projects one of my friends was doing was a full diagnostic system for a landrail locomotive. It used AI and applied huristics. They took the applied learning trees from an expierenced repair engineer and applied it into their repair systems.
If the locomotive throws a code awhile in operation, it uploads the problem back to the factory via satelite and all data from the prior 300 hours. Dying sensors can be diagnosed and flagged for replacement at the closest depot at end of the line.
The system is be evaluated for the Armys repair depot.
