1. A method for remote diagnostic monitoring of operating states for physical components of a particle accelerator system, the method comprising:
generating, by at least one processor, a component hierarchy corresponding to a physical arrangement of one or more physical components of a particle emitting system and including corresponding operating indicators of operating states of the physical components;
identifying, by the at least one processor, a faulted physical component among the physical components;
identifying, by the at least one processor, one or more fault path components among the physical components, the fault path components corresponding to a portion of the physical arrangement associated with the faulted physical component; and
modifying, by the at least one processor, the operating indicators of the fault path components to fault state indicators; and
instructing a graphical user interface to present a faulted component presentation portion corresponding to the component hierarchy and including the fault state indicators of one or more of the fault path components and of the faulted physical component.
