摘要：During an inspection discrete checkpoints provide data to a portable reader,enabling a record to be generated identifying each checkpoint visited during an
inspection. At least one checkpoint associated with the inspection will convey ancillarydata to the portable device, either in lieu of, or in addition to, a checkpoint ID uniquelyidentifying a location or component inspected. The ID is not ancillary data, because theonly function of the ID is to verify that an inspector was present at a particular location orcomponent. In contrast, ancillary data are data that have an additional utility. Forexample, a sensor may be disposed in proximity of the component or location to beinspected. Data collected by such a sensor represents ancillary data, because such datadoes more than uniquely identify a particular location or component that was visitedduring an inspection.
