Sensor Array Evaluation Tool and Method

Abstract

A method for evaluating a sensor array includes providing software having the sensor array topology, relating array elements to hardware components. Data from the array elements is collected and evaluated to determine operative components. Displays of the determinations are generated allowing a user to diagnose sensor array failures. Other aspects of the invention provide for automatic array failure diagnosis and improvement of sensor array directivity. An additional aspect provides a system for evaluating a sensor array incorporating a computer with a database and a display.
