8. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the interactive user interface includes an index window that lists identities for each of the plurality of physical components illustrated in the schematic layout, and wherein the computer readable storage medium further stores program instructions that cause the computing system to, in response to a selection of an identity of the first physical component, update the user interface data to adjust a location of the digital image in the interactive user interface such that a representation of the first physical component in the schematic layout is centered in the interactive user interface.
1. A computing system configured to access one or more databases in substantially real-time to identify and link data associated with particular physical components with representations of the particular physical components illustrated in a schematic layout of the physical components in an interactive user interface, the computing system comprising: a computer processor; and one or more parts databases storing entries that each include an identity of a physical component and data associated with the respective physical component; a computer readable storage medium storing program instructions configured for execution by the computer processor in order to cause the computing system to: access a digital image, wherein the digital image includes a schematic layout of a plurality of physical components; parse the digital image to identify first text in the digital image; compare the first text with identities of physical components that are included in the entries stored in the one or more parts databases; identify a first identity stored in the one or more parts databases that matches the first text; retrieve, from the one or more parts databases, data associated with a first physical component in the plurality of physical components identified by the first identity in the one or more parts databases; create a link in a linkage database between the data associated with the first physical component and one or more of the first text in the digital image or an area in the digital image covered by the first physical component; generate user interface data such that the interactive user interface displays the digital image in a first window and an interactive link at one or more of a location of the first text in the digital image or the area in the digital image covered by the first physical component, wherein the interactive link, when selected, causes the interactive user interface to display the data associated with the first physical component; in response to selection of the first physical component in the interactive user interface, update the user interface data such that the interactive user interface concurrently displays the first window and a second window, wherein the second window overlaps the first window, and wherein the second window includes first data measured by the first physical component; and in response to selection of a second physical component in the plurality of physical components in the interactive user interface, update the user interface data such that the interactive user interface concurrently displays the first window, the second window, and a third window, wherein the third window is different than the first and second windows and is linked to the second window, wherein the third window overlaps the first window, wherein the third window includes second data measured by the second physical component, and wherein a change to a zoom level of a graph depicting the second data in the third window causes a matching change to a zoom level of a graph depicting the first data in the second window, wherein the second window is displayed near the first physical component and the third window is displayed near the second physical component, each of the second window and the third window obscuring respective portions of the digital image in the interactive user interface.
