Abstract

Automatically adjusting collection parameters for machines on a route in a collection device, based on states of the machines. For each machine on the route, the machine state is read into the collection device. The machine is included or excluded based on the machine state. The collection device is configured with first collection parameters that are configured based on the machine state. Data is collected from the machine based on the first collection parameters. The data is analyzed using parameters that are configured based on the machine, to determine alerts. Based on the alerts, data is selectively immediately collected from the machine based on second collection parameters that are configured based on the machine state and the alerts. Also based on the alerts, the technician is selectively prompted with the collection device to take a predetermined action and collect data from the machine. The action and data are based on third collection parameters that are configured on the machine state and the alerts.
