Pilot Watcher Product Overview V5.3
Contents Overview Product Details Main Features Conclusion
Product Introduction Pilot Watcher is a software based solution that is used to locally monitor the performance and measurement of DingLi remote measurement equipment’s test modules. Pilot Watcher runs on an Android tablet and can be connected to a Pilot RCU, Pilot RCU Light, and Pilot Scout through WiFi (via a device hotspot) for real-time service test monitoring. Users may monitor the onsite test modules’ parameters, events, MOS score, alarms, GPS-based test routes, test plans, etc., and reboot the Pilot RCU device through Pilot Watcher. Pilot Watcher can be connected to only one test equipment for monitoring at one time.
