ABSTRACT:
A system and a method for remotely controlling logging equipment in drilled holes are provided. The method includes inputting a first command associated with either a logging tool or a hoist device coupled to the logging tool utilizing an input device operably coupled to a first computer. The first computer is located at a position remote from the logging tool. The method further includes transmitting a first communication signal having the first command from the first computer to a second computer. The method further includes controlling operation of either the logging tool or the hoist device based on the first command utilizing the second computer.
