Abstract
A system (10) and method for measuring and recording distances, such as between structures or reference points on vehicles. The system includes one or more measurement devices (12), each having a cable-extension transducer (14) for generating an electronic signal corresponding to the distance, a microprocessor(16) for determining the distance based upon the electronic signal, and a transceiver (22) operable to wirelessly transmit the distance to a data collection device (26) connected to a computing device (28). The cable-extension transducer (14) is wound about a spool (38) and directed around a wheel (40) such that the wheel (40) turns as the cable (36) is extended or retracted over the distance, thereby allowing for winding the cable (36) in multiple layers about the spool (38). The computing device (28) compares the measured distance to an ideal distance, and reports any difference therebetween.
