Abstract
An electronic device and a method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a sensor, a memory, a processor, and a communication interface. The sensor is configured to detected vibrations of a gas pressure regulator. The memory is configured to store the detected vibrations. The processor is configured to record the detected vibrations caused by the gas pressure regulator at a predetermined time interval. The processor is also configured to generate a report of the recorded vibrations caused by the gas pressure regulator to indicate the operational status of the gas pressure regulator, wherein the generated report includes at least two recorded vibrations. The communication interface configured to transmit the generated report.
