Abstract
Method and apparatus for remote data acquisition from a block data storage device having a data storage medium, a host interface port, a serial communication (COM) port and a programmable controller with associated platform firmware and associated diagnostic firmware. A client computer and a server computer are connected to a computer network (such as the Internet), and the data storage device is connected to the server computer via the host interface port. A data acquisition device such as a disk drive analyzer having digital oscilloscope capabilities is connected to the server computer and the data storage device. Requests from the client computer are transmitted via the network to result in a first command to the data storage device to execute the platform firmware and a second command to capture a waveform signal from the data storage device. The waveform signal is transmitted real time for display by the client computer.
